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 Selati male was with the Talamati pride. They also report that they saw the two males together about a month ago, but that the second male is not looking good at all.

Selati male lions have killed a buffalo mother and the buffalo cub is suffering , waiting to die . The lions weren't able to kill the cub properly . For at least one hour it was alive , suffering . Eventually we left the scene .. The location for the event was near Singita Boulders in Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa

About #109:These lions are just negligent. They didn't need to kill an harmless prey that was unable to protect itself from them. But it' s cruel for sure...

They appear to be exhausted from killing the mother and didn't have the energy to kill the calf quickly. They're not even feeding on the mother

Agreed.

In complete control of the situation, there's no need to waste energy on that. 

Besides, being so young there's always some remanent of the playful behaviour of the subadult.

Perhaps I choosed a bad word with "negligent". I don't want to be anthropomorphic. If they wanted, the buffalo cub would have been killed in less one minute. But this cub being unable to react, these lions didn't take care of it. Not negligent perhaps, but instinctively indifferent, unconcerned about it. OK ?

This morning, the Mbiri pride was found to the north of conking quarry. A big surprise was the discovery of 3 brand new cubs, which are less than 2 weeks old. So its a total of 10 cubs now! The Selati males were found on Buffelshoek access. The ginger male is looking very bad at the moment.

Are these the remaining Selatis, the same ones that attacked the Mapogo?
