Nhenha has some small puctures around his shoulders, perhaps, during the attack of the OM. As well around his neck/chin Reply

1 subadult male, it looks like he is missing..

Damn

Also after 3 years the southern avocas have only managed to raise one cub to sub-adult?

Now, not even a sub if she disappeared, which could have happened. (assuming another Mantemhale daughter returned, as per the report the pride was down to 2 lionesses at one point)  The S. Avocas have lost at least 5 litters now....  Their legacy is in question because even none of their subs can manage to survive (assuming they lost their Sparta and Sand River sub daughters)

Maybe they'll get luckier with the Plains Camp Pride.  It seems the youngest cubs could be theirs and some might still be alive.... Reply

Did you mean that Singita was trying to get as much as possible of footage of the cubs? Reply

I watched that picture again of Sand Rivers..

It looks like subadult is there, and its female, and not a male as i taught :

So 1 female is missing, as there where definitely 4 females, 2 older ones and 2 Mantimahle daughters with them..

She might be near by, maybe denning.. Reply
