2 from Sassy & 1 from Junior's Mother.
1 cub is much smaller than the other two. So that must be Jr's Mom's girl. 2 Month age difference (March & May)
Has Skorro Jr. joined the pride or still looking for them?
Dulini and Savannah both reported he found them. But no captures of them together have been shared yet

He could perhaps protect the pride from hyenas but in a 2:1 situation with the PCM males or the Birminghams he'd be the first to run!

Such a shame both of Skorro Jnr's brothers died from health issues.

Agreed. Hyenas won’t be an issue in his presence. But when PC males arrive, not just him, every living thing in that area expect for a few elephant bulls may be, have to run.
Him being a big boy happens to run faster. This is one of the problems, the younger ones couldn’t run fast and are likely getting caught.

It appears they are down to one cub now. Though its unclear whether or not they are just separated.
The source seems to be some guests at Dulini. I guess we will have to wait for more information comes in.
RE: Othawa Pride - Duco Ndona - 09-18-2022
Its not a contest. Keep in mind that the Mhangeni never did lose many lionesses.
Poor Sassy not only had to suddenly take care of 5 cubs on her own. But also reinvent her hunting and guarding methods.
RE: Othawa Pride - sundarbans - 09-18-2022
Who is likely to be behind the cubs' demise? PC Males or Birminghams?
RE: Othawa Pride - Duco Ndona - 09-18-2022
Its not certain yet they died. But I am going to guess Hyenas or exposure.

Could you post a link? If Skorro was together with them, PC males would go after him first.
RE: Othawa Pride - Duco Ndona - 09-18-2022
It appears to be posted on a prive instagram. Which is why there is some reason to be skeptical.
Skorro is no longer with the pride and seemingly has no longer any interest in them.
RE: Othawa Pride - Mabingilane - 09-19-2022
Othawa pride seen and all 3 cubs are alive.
Skorro is not actually with them though. He has been by himself and looking rather hungry.
RE: Othawa Pride - lionuk - 09-19-2022
Sassy and the three youngsters are fine, thankfully.
RE: Othawa Pride - lionuk - 09-19-2022
Sassy tried to hunt a warthog today in the morning, but unfortunately the impalas warned him off. Hopefully she will be successful next time to feed herself and these three beautiful girls.

Glad to hear the cubs survived. Being down to two lionesses, assuming the last one survived would have been very dire for the pride.
