RE: The Birmingham Males - J-boVFL - 09-21-2018
She looks alot like the dark maned manjingilane, the new kambula cubs have the genes of mapogo manjings and the birminghams and also the tsalala bloodline . I look forward to seeing them thrive under the protection of 3 primed males kings of malamala and most of londolozi

these lionesses are huge when they stand next male lions they are almost shoulder to shoulder probably big as the lionesses from duba botswana! but they were lucky when they broke away from their moms the magheni lion pride their were taking down alot of bovine! unlike this season when their younger siblings broke off their was a shortage of buffaloes!

the kambulas were much older when they broke away. they were already independent and were probably around 4 to 5 years old, but their younger siblings were around 2 years old (not old enough) when they were abandoned.

Not 4-5, even now they are little more than 5 year old.
They were born in 2013 and when they were in 3 to 3.5 year old they became independent.

thanks for the correction. being 3.5 is much bigger and more experience than going independent between 2 to 2.5 years old, hence they were more successful at taking down buffalos. i remember the 3 mangheni males, brothers to the kambula girls, were already huge when they went nomadic compared to the younger siblings we see now struggling to take down buffalo even with 9 males.
