Nomadic life is tough. A lot of factors can explains why they’re looking too skinny. A kind of Illness’s, TB, etc Reply

They have that "black spot on hip" disease, its still unkonwn to this day what that is and if its connected to TB, or some other bacterial disease.

Its actually suprising how little we know about lion diseases, guides usually just "ignore" sick lions, or just say "they have TB".. Reply

I think this might be the video where Tumbela was supposedly mating, but not only it's a few days old but this is likely Snip Tail Nkhulu. Reply

Singita Sabi Sands Update (good news for the Tsalala Lioness!):

• After the late rains this summer it has assisted the herbivores in maintaining excellent condition. This, coupled with moon-lit, still nights have made hunting challenging for lions. The Mhangeni Pride felt the full brunt of it up until recently where they made successive kills helping to save themselves from muscle degeneration and starvation. Fortunately for them the grasslands have been teeming with large grazers like buffalo and zebra which has helped them to recover in condition.
• The Tsalala lioness has given birth somewhere close to Boulders Lodge, either in the Sand River valley or the rocky outcrops nearby. Frequent coming and goings from the area reaffirms our suspicions. She has provided us with excellent daytime viewing as she chooses to hunt by day and protect her cubs by night. She has even been seen crossing the Sand River by Pios Crossing which is populated by crocodiles - risking it all for her first litter of cubs.
• In the north there has been another split in the Nkuhuma Pride. A lioness and her two cubs of close to two years of age have left their maternal pride and have been trailing buffalos and zebras. On one morning drive as the three lions looked to be settling down for the day, a wounded stray buffalo calf walked right into the middle of them. The calf stood little chance of escaping and it was a valuable lesson gained by the two young lions as their mother capitalised on the easy opportunity.

Thank you for that... Here's to hoping Tsalala can overcome.  I don't like that she's messing with Croc's though. Reply
