@Tr1x24 ok I didn’t think Ottawa lioness still had cubs so it looks like it’s just an after effect, like you said, from being in estrus.
Tsalala lioness: What is she doing so far up north/east? She must also bring coming back into estrus. I won’t be surprised if she looked for multiple coalitions to mate with. N’Ws: the worrying thing about them being near the Mhangeni Pride is it might attract them north in the future... all the pictures of them bonding remind me of what males do before they go on a mission to takeover new prides. I think they are definitely getting more and more confident and ambitious by the day.

Yea i know, Mhangenis where north while N'ws are mostly in south of Sabi Sabi, but Sabi Sabi is not that big, so they are only few km apart, which is not that far of a distance.. If for example Mhangenis get a kill, that can easily attract N'ws to that site.. And that happend in the beginning of the year, when 2 N'ws overtake Mhangenis and OM giraffe kill in Sabi Sabi, so this kind of encounter can easily happen again if Mhangenis stick there.. But it seems they are returning north as they where seen in Londolozi today, which is good..

I know, The Othawa male is moving for some big distances, Which is good considering that is surrounded for some strong coalitions. At least when goes to Londolozi or as yesterday in Sabi Sabi. Anyway, Nothing to worrying yet. The photos posted by Londolozi were taken at December 5,2020, I cannot confirm if the update is recent or not.

I won’t be surprised if she looked for multiple coalitions to mate with. Tsalala is definitely not in estrus again, its too early,as the subadult female is just 1.5 yrs old. N'ws have great bond between each others, always together and bonding, they remind me of young Majingilanes in that regard.. Stronger the bond, higher chances of being very succesfull coalition..
Ulusaba/Day 2: In the early morning sun we followed up on the happy but exhausted Tumbela/Ottawa honeymooners and took another few nice close-up‘s ..

Now the nwaswishaka have cubs they will be far more aggressive towards rivals now?
I remember the first video of them entering SS and mystery surrounding them at the time. Followed by the Will they stay, wont they stay. Its great to see them doing well and look forward to watching the nwaswishaka in the future

As well, Some people was very worried when the gored male was photographed with his fresh injury and with against all odds, has survived and is looking very well at the moment. Such a true warrior!
Any news on Sparta lioness and her daughter? It was been a while since last update on MalaMala..
Wasn’t Tsalala lioness denning dec 2018? And we saw the cubs in March 2019? Maybe I’m getting the dates wrong.
Also great news about the Sparta lioness. |
