Looks like she got caught by someone, and then to add insult to injury, it looks like she found a hornet's nest or the like, as well.

Is this an only cub? Have the styx moms reunited or are they still denning separately?

The second photo has two cubs, I am not sure how many cubs styx have too tho

If Nkhulus don't become a bigger problem in the future, Gijimas are on the path to be extremely successful, having cubs with 3 different prides, all doing well.
Issue is that the territory is too small for so many prides, but it is working decently well so far, all things considered.

Thanks I obviously didn’t see that!
I think 3 lionesses have cubs but I’m not sure.

I think it would do them well to raise the current litters with one of the three prides successfully and then end up losing that same pride down the line. SP either to a KNP coalition or Talamatis to a Sabi Sand coalition which forces either pride to move either South (Southern Pride) or North (Talamatis). Two prides within that same territory is much more manageable. Ofc that’s a big ask for the Gijimas to successfully raise litters in all prides first.
RE: Styx Pride - Mapokser - 09-26-2024
I mean if they can hold for 2 more years, they could potentially leave everything for say Nkhulus, then move somehwere else where they could become territorial again at 9-10 years old, or retire depending on how badly they age.
Nkhulus if they have at least 4 members 2 years from now would be a good choice to control that area and give it stability.
2 years from now, all the Gijima cubs would be independent and their 2 older Southern daughters over 3yo, potentially able to mate already. Southern pride would have 5 females and a bunch of 2yo subs.
Not sure if MalaMala's estimations are correct but they claim many of the Sand River females are just 3yo, so Nkhulus might accept 3yo subs.
Even if Nkhuku doesn't accept 2, 2,5yo subs, theae independent subs can avoid them till they are ready.
RE: Styx Pride - Ttimemarti - 09-26-2024
Yeah the sand river pride is mostly southern avoca daughters I have no idea what happened to all the older females
RE: Styx Pride - Cath2020 - 09-28-2024
As far as I know, there are 6 Sand River lionesses, 4 daughters of the S. Avocas, and still the older 2 Mantemahle's daughters.
RE: Styx Pride - Ttimemarti - 09-28-2024
Yeah I saw a video of at least 5 females and most of them looked very young I was kinda confused because I thought it was 2 mantimahle daughters and 2 Toulon daughters and a few southern avoca daughters
RE: Styx Pride - Cath2020 - 09-28-2024
I believe the 2 Toulon ones died. One was killed by the Nkhulus in the early stages of the takeover, and the last one disappeared not long after her son was killed by Snip Tail. She didn't look so old, so not sure what happened to her. Never saw her deteriorating either.

Not sure about numbers or anything but i recall that being mentioned twice by guides
also the biggest group of Sand Rivers i've seen so far were 5 lionesses together
