• The Tsalala lioness seems to be nearing the time where she is due to give birth to her first little of cubs and grow her pride to what it once was. Her movement in the eastern parts of the reserve presents many opportunities for her to safely den with her cubs. The gabbro rocky valleys have for many centuries been a favoured area for new mothers.
• The Ntsevu males are lions which would be a threat to the Tsalala lioness and her cubs as their patrol route seems to be taking shape in and around this area. They have also been furthering their hunting grounds further south of the Sabi Sand. As they grow their demand for food does too. These expert buffalo hunters have had many opportunities lately as buffalo herds are in abundance.
• The Mhangeni Pride have their eyes set on the buffalo herds as well. The pressure of ten cubs, four of which are nearing one year of age, has these lionesses hunting every day until they catch large enough prey. Fifteen lions mean buffalo carcasses are finished in two days.
  

Is the Tsalala Princess believed to be carrying the Skorro Young Male's cubs? I know she interacted with the PCMs as well, just not sure who is believed to have impregnated her. Given the Skorro Young Male's recent absence, I hope it is the PCMs, where as before he disappeared I had hoped the two of them would start building a pride together.

I can’t remember where (maybe wild earth chat) but she was seen mating with Plains camp boys. I don’t know if it was one or both. A lot of info in on Facebook and others but I don’t have access.
I really like Skorro but the PC boys are able to provide a safer area (hopefully).
She’s basically a tawny leopard at this point so I hope she can raise at least one cub. I felt so bad for her when her older Mangheni lioness friend left to go back to her original pride once again leaving Tsalala alone. Reply
