RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Rui Ferreira - 08-29-2024 (08-28-2024, 11:44 PM)criollo2mil Wrote:(08-28-2024, 11:38 PM)Mapokser Wrote: Yeah, RR and Nharu pride killed a Mbiri cub before Mandevu and the Orpen son chased him off. This whole situation is very confusing, for all we know the cub could have returned between the time the video got recorded till now and now another or the same cub got caught by RR, anyway we will have to wait till an official head count and if its the same cub missing or not RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Mabingilane - 08-29-2024 Which female had those 3 little cubs & when were they born? I thought around April 2024 RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Tr1x24 - 08-29-2024 Looks like Ncile is gone, such a sad story.. In most recent videos he looked in excellent condition, bigger and more impressive then Mandevu. We obiviously dont know what happened, but if other males are responsible, Mongawanes are only candidates, as they where seen in same area and few times very near Tintswalos. I think one of the last reports of Ncile was that he was near 1 of Mogawanes, few hunderd meters away. But yea, a lot of things can happen. RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Mapokser - 08-29-2024 @criollo2mil idk but there's a video of a single cub playing with Mandevu.

I thought around April 2024 I don’t recall any three cub litters. Just one solo litter born (appx) Dec 23/Jan 2024? and another two cub litter born (appx) Feb/March 2024.

I'll still hold out some hope that he shows up, but we have to be realistic. When a young, healthy and impressive male entering his prime just disappears, and we don't know what happened, and probably never will know... It's definitely one of the more frustrating aspects of following these lions.

They are on the ground, working there, seeing the prides/coalitions/nomads on a daily basis. In this case, I also believe it is true that there are three sons of the Imbali (S8) Male from that same-named pride that are his sons This is not 'merely' my opinion, but I asked officials and had a couple of positive responses from different areas that, in fact, yes, there are 3 Imbali sons, and that they are all the sons of the Imbali or S8 Male. They might be mistaken, however when even one guide/ranger/lodge admin tells me one thing vs. what you tell me, I tend to take the formers' words most of the time, and especially if there is more than one source telling me.

We get it, you believe the guides over another member. Time to move on. RE: Lions of Manyeleti - BA0701 - 09-04-2024 Not really sure what is happening, which males it is that are roaring, guide seems to believe it may well be the Mbiri males, but we see the Mbiri Pride, with some cubs, intently watching in the distance, as you can hear some males roaring nearby. The one female, that we see in the beginning with a couple of the cubs, she is a really big girl. Aren't one or more of the pride's females sisters of the two Mbiri Males? RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Mapokser - 09-05-2024 They are, yes, sisters to Mbiri males. I remember one guide from Northern SS saying a Mbiri female was the largest lioness he had ever seen. RE: Lions of Manyeleti - KM600 - 09-05-2024 Such a shame RR doesn’t have a partner with the Kambulas now trying to settle down partly in Manyeleti and then a few nomads here and there, aswell as established males.

These boys were always going to expand at some point. I forsee another clash with the Kambulas if they are both moving into the same area. But just because they've been seen in the Manyeleti doesn't mean anything will happen. They get spotted fairly regularly in Arathusa and Elephant Plains - having moved all the way across Djuma - but never seem to bump into the Nkuhumas.

I don’t think anything will happen long term either. It’s actually crazy how these boys have no interactions with the Nkuhumas too, it’s not like they just wander thru staying quiet. It would actually be interesting to see what’d happen during an interaction with Nkuhuma Pride, see if they’re as aggressive to the lionesses as their younger half brothers, although for Nkuhuma Prides sake, I hope it doesn’t happen.

I was also thinking the exact same thing. Of all the males spending time in the area at the moment, these boys would probably be the best bet for the Nkuhumas. Unlike the PC males, their territory is already directly adjacent. Though we don't know exactly how many lionesses they are already pride males of. They could have their hands (paws) full. But then why are they probing into Red Road's territory? Weird. Maybe they just don't like Djuma. |
