They mentioned finding two bodies of adult lionesses. So I guess they did.
No word on any cubs or Skorro found death though. But I think at this point its a given that atleast the cubs perished.

So sad but dignify dead to buy the cubs another chance of survival.
RIP for both may their deaths be worth it!!

Just to provide FULL CLARITY.
The only carcass confirmed to have been found is of Auntie. That’s confirmed by Savannah and Dulini.
The Savannah post that’s been shared confused matters a bit because it intimated both bodies were found. But they’ve provided clarity in saying it’s only PRESSUMED she’s dead.
I do believe she’s gone. It’s a foregone conclusion at this time. There were sightings around 13 August if her two cubs alone. These cubs have returned to the pride….without her.

It seems strange to me that a lioness, elderly, experienced, has started to fight against two adult males. Two males can kill an isolated male, let alone a female. How old are the sub-adults she was feeding?

The post is from Savannah below. As you can see it’s a bit badly worded cause it doesn’t speak as an assumption.

It appears they edited out the offending "another". Still they outcome is the same.

2 lionesses
5 cubs
Is there any possibility that the older lioness was Junior's mom, not Aunty?

No, on this video is Aunty.

Is it known if the pride is still in the western sector?

June 2011 - Western SS
Othawa M
An old buffalo had died on Portion Five earlier in the week. Shangwa (female Leopard) and her cub were feeding on the carcass on the previous day. The Ottawa Pride had taken over the carcass. The 2 Ottawa males are becoming large lions.
