I'm not sure why the silence on the Othawa Pride, Hairy Belly, and the Tumbelas. In my opinion, that's where the most exciting action is these days in SS. But, oh well...
Have those new cubs just disappeared? died? What will happen/is happening to the sub-adults? Are all the Othawas deceiving the young Tumbelas or are they actually going into heat? What do the rangers really feel? Are Junior and his cousins sticking together more often than not? How are the subs hunting these days? Are some of the Othawa lionesses sticking with the Tumbelas or do they often go off on their own from time to time? Are there still suckle marks on Junior's mom? Where are Junior and the other subs hanging out alone? Do they seem to be managing well or so-so? Any pictures and especially videos would be welcome.... A whole series could be done on the drama happening! I do follow the other lions and coalitions in SS....not quite as keenly. I like to know about the N'was and Styx Pride, too. The single lionesses are always interesting to follow. The nomadic males! Where will they go and what will they do next? The Southern Avoca are not covered as much as they should be, either, imho.

All been quiet recently The lion dynamics in the Western of SS,Now,are basing more in the Tumbela coalition and,often, in the sightings of the Othawa male and Mangheni pride. The last update of HB was with the Nkuhuma male a few days ago(week ago) |
