Apparently the community on FB confirmed it to be Tiyelele, good for her.

Kambulas most likely the responsibles for the killing of the last male sub, really unfortunate.

That has been my thinking since all of that happened, that they were responsible for the young male's disappearance. It was Tiyelele's actions in the aftermath that threw me off, as I would have expected the opposite from her, in how she dealt with the lions who just killed her son. Even if he was not her son directly, he absolutely was indirectly, and I believe she saw him as such. Worst part of all of this, for me, is that all of S8's sons seem to be falling.

Wow those injuries on K5 are a lot worse then i taught.

Would be wrong to name him scrapper since that is literally what he does just get in tons of scraps I mean he is 100% not the son of scrapper but just a thought and by him I mean k5

Imbali Males are still around and some females no?

RE: Kambula/Ntsevu males - Cath2020 - 08-05-2024

Imbali sons of S8 are alive as was posted not long ago on FB.  One of the 3 males has a somewhat cloudy or different colored eye.... The 3 sons in the Talamati Pride didn't fare as well as they were unlucky and didn't have S8's full protection and only a few lionesses that were sick or on the run looked after them.

But, this is more a disaster for the bloodline of the females that followed to mate with the S8 male than for S8, since he already secured his legacy in the Imbali Pride.

I thought the same. I think the boys are lucky K4 didn't break K5's back. They would have been down a member, and in a really tragic/dumb way.

I'm surprised his face doesn't show the damage caused by RRM, pinning him down by it for such an extended period, as much as his hind quarters.

The 4 Kambula males in a buffalo kill at Djuma or Nkorho, not sure. They left the elephant carcass on buffleshoek after being chased by the 2 Mantimahle males.

U sent it twice i believe an accident or bug?
Anyways indeed, they are looking  impressive. Im hoping they will start mating with Tiyelele, if not already, well, can only wait for confirmation.

Their sister seems to have finally detached... She was in southern MalaMala with Styx young male, iirc they were trailing a herd of buffalo or something. The four Nkhuku males and the Sand River pride were also seen in southern MalaMala yesterday, hopefully Styx boy and K12 can keep a low profile and maybe start a small pride...

Selati daughter Tiyelele flirting with Kambula male K3


RE: Kambula/Ntsevu males - Mapokser - 08-06-2024

The burden on her is huge, rebuild the pride alone in a tough spot. Still a coalition of 4 may be her best chance.

I hope both her and her Ximhungwe sister can still raise big litters and save their fathers bloodline.
