We've basically all been asking these questions lately. criollo2mil had a really good writeup yesterday on what we do know. K3 was sited today without her sub-adults which is a concern. Amahle and Orange eyes have been seen in the last 2 days with at least 3 lionesses and about a dozen cubs.

My big concern at the moment is that there have been no reports on Gore and his group that I've seen and also Mohawk has been absent of late. Lot's of S8, so that's good.
RE: Kambula Pride - T_Ferguson - 03-10-2023
Apologies for my ignorant ask here, as I don't know the dynamics of this, but with the recent sightings of Amahle and Orange eyes doing a bunch of roaring in various areas, could they be trying to call Gore, or is this just all a normal thing? We've seen all of these recent sightings of Gijima's and Skorro and NK, and S8, but nothing on Gore and Mohawk. Maybe that area is flooded to badly for people to go check it out, but that also is a bit of a concern.
Sorry for the rant. I guess my question is... no reports on those lions for 2 weeks or so is not uncommon? or is that a concern?
RE: Kambula Pride - Duco Ndona - 03-10-2023
Right now, with what is going on with the Kambulas everybody is somewhat on edge. But two weeks is not that unusual for a healthy lion. Sometimes they just move to an area where they cannot be seen as easily.

I think the following have been accounted:

- Kambula Breakaways of K3 and 2F Subs - conflicting reports. some said accounted for, but later brought into doubts; there is a sighting reported to be of the 2 Gijimas following K3. No mention of her Sub Adults.
- Kambula 2 (formerly part of the breakaways) - also conflicting reports. First said to be looking for den sites. Then later brought into doubts.
Kambula Core:
- K1 - seen w at least 5 cubs accounted for today
- K4 - unaccounted for
- K5 - seen at same sighting as K1
- K6 - unaccounted for

Kambula Breakaways

They trying to rent a room?
RE: Kambula Pride - veritas - 03-10-2023
The uncertain situation that is happening is certainly not a laughing matter, but on the contrary, I am really sorry and worried.
Suddenly, I was a little bewildered to see the lions in the building, and laughed at the comments from friend user @T_Pergusson
Sorry, the comment was so funny.
RE: Kambula Pride - Mapokser - 03-10-2023
@Mwk85 Older Kambula and 2 cubs right? Amazing that they are fine.

There’s a FB post making circulation that apparently includes a sighting of K6. If true and current, then she now becomes accounted for.
Secondly, KYF daughter of K3 has also been sighted w her own cubs safe.
This leaves the following not fully accounted for since the news of deaths:
- K4 lioness (she’s the mother of the 5 boys litter) same lioness that gave birth in front of cameras seen w only 4 of the cubs in her last sightings.
- K2 Lioness - member of the Breakaways, last seen pregnant with conflicting reports of more recent sightings but can’t confirm date of most recent sighting.
- two Sub Adult daughters of K3, youngest of the Birmingham offsprings
