There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

What a stunning sighting of Auntie Othawa and the cubs. They clearly have a love for her. She also was very closely of Junior when he was cub. Such a shame that she is infertile

Kambula #3 with her three remaining cubs of the oldest litter growing up very nicely. Kambula #2 with her 4 young cubs…she’s the mother of the middle litter. Kambula #1 (not seen here) is the mother of the four youngest cubs
Update: A very concerning news, Ximhungwe cub hasn't been seen in a long time, not even accompanying her mother in recent sightings. According to Neil Jennings, he hasn't seen her with her mum for about 3 weeks now.

Lets not lose hope yet, maybe she wasnt there when they saw adult female.
She was seen 3 weeks ago with mom and Limper in Inyati.. After that Limper returned to Othawas so there is possiblity that Othawas and Ximhungwes with Limper bumped into each other as adult female was very vocal, and Limper then rejoined Othawas... So maybe they split or (lets hope not) Othawas and Skorro Jr harm her..
I dont think Limper would harm here, adult female wouldnt allow that and i think she can handle him if he tried.

I messaged Diff and he said similar thing as Neil Jennings about that missing cub. Furthermore, diff said that ximghungwe lioness was seen making crying calls for her daughter..

Lets hope they split, subadult is old enough to temporary survive on her own.
