Fortunately, I seem to be a great deal better at finding lions, and once more we enjoyed good sightings of the River Pride and Nharhu males in the central regions.  The mating pair from last week remained as a union for a few days this week before they went their separate ways.  As the week drew to a close, that same young lioness was found in the company of the Nharhu males (all three together for a welcome change), but she was much more interested in finding the River Prides lionesses.  The mothers with the cubs remained in the general area, although they moved the cubs to a slightly less accessible location on the Zebenine River – maybe 300m from where Nthombi had her old den site.  We got a couple of sightings of the cubs, but sadly they didn’t provide the photographic opportunities I had hoped for.

The week ended with the lion sighting of the week when the Nharhu males were found late one morning fighting over the scraps of a kill that they had made during the course of the morning.  It is always entertaining to watch lions on a small kill, as it is guaranteed that there will be loads of growling, and with some luck, a bit of smacking one another around too!  Luke and Brittany got to see the Vuyela Pride out in the western sections one afternoon, and one morning whilst out in the south-west, I found tracks for two lionesses in an area that would have been unusual for the River Pride girls to move in, and I suspected that the tracks may have been for the Zebenine lionesses – that might have been wishful thinking rather than a realistic assessment of the situation, but it is good  to live in hope.

Theres little chance that females which this males takeover will accept her, she will most likely get chased away.  She might return to her natal pride, but if they also dont accept her back she will must go on alone.

A fantastic sighting of the Scarface / oldest male of the Nharhu Coalition.
So as there have been no definite individual names of the three, Kings Camps and Cathan Moore refer to them by these names:
Limping male: Skorokoro
(broken)
Slit on nose: Xitaya (scar)
Oldest male: Mpohlo (handsome)
