All three Nkuhuma lionesses & 7 cubs seen recently, not 5 cubs as originally thought.

It seems there was a minor alteration between the Avocas and Birmingham males. But nothing to change the status quo between the two. Also I wonder if that lioness is the missing lioness from the Mhangenis. Edit: Heh.. that teaches me to not spend minutes editing a text. 
Sounds to me like they are writing off the bboys, i think they have lots left to give, especially nhenha. If the bboys stick together they should be fine
Just had a thought it was blondie v mohawk for the female
They are confident that they still have some fights in them.
But ultimately. They have enemies and time is among them. Betting against them is the safe bet in the long run.
hope this wasn't just mohawk fighting blondie for the right to mate with that female lol
Probably not. She arrived later and they were still too much on edge to be fully interested.
Had she been the cause of the fight. They would have not let her walk off first. 
How did the Birmingham males get their unique names? Almost all the other male lions in the Sabi Sands, even legendary coalitions such as the Majingilanes and the Mapogos, have been named after physical identifying features e.g. Dark Mane, Scar Nose, Mr. T, Kinky Tail etc. But the Birminghams don't seem to follow the same naming convention. Or am I missing something and their names actually allude to physical features in a language other than English?
They were named by WildEarth.

Tsalala sub-adult lioness seen this week. Her mother wasn't seen with her, but probably not too far from her. They stick pretty close together and the sub-adult has been helping with the hunts from what the rangers understand.

Really concerned for this little one a couple of times, especially when mom got cornered by the Kambulas. |
