RE: Lions of Sabi Sands - KM600 - 09-14-2023 (09-13-2023, 11:51 PM)239Pu Wrote: Most likely from Gijima males as he was tracking the Talamati females and only recently all 4 were seen with the Gijimas as opposed to the youngest one who was the first to mate with them, although u can’t rule out the young Kambula males doing this to him. Bad luck after bad luck with Nkuhuma, ppl made a lot of him with the Talamati females thinking it was finally his time but I always had a feeling it wouldn’t last, not with how packed SS is at the moment, wanted him to stay with the Talamati males but nobody seems to know why that partnership never ended up working out. RE: Lions of Sabi Sands - Mwk85 - 09-14-2023 Recent sighting of the Southern Pride cubs. All three lionesses were present as well. RE: Lions of Sabi Sands - Mapokser - 09-14-2023 @Tr1x24 I heard 4 males and 1 female. Regardless do you know how many are from the Selati daughters and how many from the Matimba daughter?

Unless they plan on ousting either S8 and the Talamati breakaways or Mohawks, his sons and core Nkuhuma Pride, the only other adjacent territory is controlled by the Talamati Pride who are currently South. Unless the Talamatis stay South and give up their territory, the new Nkuhuma breakaways with the BDMs would essentially be pushing out a whole pride in order to control their own territory. They are also chasing Skorro Orpen on ocassion, nothing to take over but still a nuisance to deal with for them. Unless he is getting smarter about his movement further from them.

Yup, 3,2 for sure. 2 of the males doing well sticking to the adult female getting meals the other three seems to miss out at times. Which kind of worries me, in the sense that like in the previous batch of litters (current Talamati young male, now 2), one male tended to spend time with a sister rather than bonding more with brothers and eventually went missing. Hopefully nothing like that will happen with these ones (already shame their solo little brother did not make it). Besisdes one female feeding 5 sub adults (if they ares still rather cubs, they will be sub-adults later anyway so it still applies) with majority of males is already quite a feat, although the ration is not as taxing as with Mhangeni 12. Afaik the young ones still don't help with hunting like Floppy Ear Styx got involved out of necessity in his situation, hunting with his sisters, out of pride. That group is split at feeding repeatedly is bit worrying though, hopefully there is no food scarcity behind that and just happened randomly.

Have not heard much since that happened, perhaps they have made a pair.

While his brother is busy mating, he still had duties to attend to with the Southern Pride. In the video he seems to be right in the middle of all of them. I wish the Gijimas were moving in pairs, like the PCM do most of the time and S Avocas used to. Those two, more than a lot of others, know well what can happen if a lone coalition male gets caught out by himself, and there are a couple or large coalitions roaming around in that neck of the woods. RE: Lions of Sabi Sands - Tonpa - 09-14-2023 Solo cat, not sure who.

RE: Lions of Sabi Sands - Tylermartin! - 09-14-2023 So I have a question about lion cubs and I’ve seen it many times but can’t tell if it’s true… are male cubs usually darker and female lighter colored RE: Lions of Sabi Sands - BA0701 - 09-14-2023 (09-14-2023, 10:07 PM)Tylermartin!

Wrote: So I have a question about lion cubs and I’ve seen it many times but can’t tell if it’s true… are male cubs usually darker and female lighter colored Would be very interesting if it is true. If it is, then I haven't noticed it simply because I go in expecting all of the cubs to have a slightly different hue to them, just like any other animal. Perfect example, which proves what you and @Tylermartin! are saying, as well as what I just said, is Floppy Ear Styx, when he was born he was darker than the other cubs, along with countless other examples I could make. I always just chalked it up to random color variations, as opposed to a male/female differences, but perhaps there is indeed something to it. |
