There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Theres too little reports and photos from Mantimahle sons to make a separeted thread for them.

As for know ones, theres 2 s36/Mantimahle males, 2 Plains Camp males and 2 Sand River males.. S36 are around 4.5 - 5 yrs old, others around 3.5- 4..

Its unknown how many are they in Nkuhlu and other prides.

I think doesn't are much sightings of the Mantimahle sons, I think if we make a thread for Mantimahle sons, the activity in the own thread could be very low

Well said. Without mention that the 2 Plains camps and the 2 Sand river males weren't seen for months...
BTW,I would like to create a thread dedicated to a possible promising coalition. And, I think that that coalition will be interesting to follow in a few years.
