I thought at first they were with some of the other kudyela females but i think all females are now with Sark Males. 

Does anybody know how many have given birth and to how many? 

I'll check some of the Pondoro blogs.

Three gave birth to 11 cubs. I'm not sure how many lionesses they have total maybe around 5 are still alive.

I wonder what they are going to do. They are probably already done of mating with Black Dam females and therefore they might look for some new females. From their perspective it would make lot of sense to go for Birmingham Breakaway pride if they want to expand indeed.

They were at sandringham property which is a paradise for poachers due to vast public access. It is the same place where Giraffe male ( father of 6 BDM) got missing. 
But luckily, now these two boys moved back in the north

They might quickly return to Sandringham. They showed themselfs further north, but wether they will stay there or return south is yet to be seen.

Tanda Tula update

The first day of the reporting period saw us spending some more time with the Giraffe Pride that had all but finished off their zebra kill and had gathered around a nearby mud wallow to cool off and digest their meal.  The roars of the pride through the entire night led to us to checking up on them again the next morning and being greeted by the amazing sight of all eighteen pride members lying around the same mud wallow – not a bad way to start off the day!  The pride did move out of our concession after that and despite hearing the roars of the two dominant males close to us later in the week, they remained AWOL.   
 
The mating pair of Mayambula lions spent a few more days mating in the far east, and on my one journey to that part of the Timbavati one morning, we found the three mothers of the older cubs resting near the den site.  In the days that followed, the little ones did show themselves again after several day’s absence, and all eight youngsters are doing well as they enter the fourth month of their lives.  The other younger lionesses of the Mayambula Pride were still moving around in the south-eastern sections of the concession, but our one attempt at tracking them did lead them towards the boundary with the Kruger National Park.  The River Pride returned for their weekly visit when they were found with a zebra kill in the north-western corner of the concession.
