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.

One of the Selati males looking not very happy with us. After a while just staring at the vehicle he lost interest and did what lions do best, SLEEP.

They were initially five strong. They made a wrong move, tried to takeover Majingilane territory. They found them and killed one of them.

Then in 2014 I think one of the Selatis, I think it was the one identified as #3, was gored by a buffalo. He struggled for some time, but never quite recovered from his wounds and eventually died. I don't know if he died naturally or if he was again injured by buffalos and that was the cause of his dead.

When the Majingilane noticed this weakness in the Selati males, they started to make a move into their territory. They attacked them several times, and each time they injured a different male. Eventually, they made the definitive move and Selati #2 was killed in the fight and the other two remaining Selatis became nomads until now.

I think the Talamati's were a pride controlled by the Northern Matimbas, but this males are in their old age now and started to shrink a bit their territory. So, I don't think there was a clash between them, merely they must have found this territory empty, without dominant males, and established themselves.

I'm not sure if the females had cubs, but I do know the young males left the pride, I think there are three of them.

Talamati pride and Selati males
"We also only had one sighting of our southern pride this week, but what a sighting it was! Alistair found them on the Sabi Sands boundary, and soon all hell broke loose, when a Buffalo herd approached the sighting. Alistair described it as a text book Buffalo hunt! I think he’s in love! They managed to bring down a sub-adult Buffalo, and the whole pride and both big males were present. They must have eaten well during the past week, because the males were very relaxed, and didn’t run in and take it all."

I haven't heard anything more about them, but I don't think that they've had contact with the Birmingham males.

In any case, the possible threat would be the two Thanda Impi males. But about the injury, I wouldn't worry that much.
