Lions of Sabi Sands
|
@Duco Ndona hope you don't mind me asking, but your channel has a different country flag almost every week, first it's Netherlands, USA, Czezh Republic and today its Germany??
While mine stays the same.
Recent sightings of the Nkuhuma male and one of the Mhangeni pride lionesses with a kill at Ulusaba, Western Sabi Sands posted October 27.
I honestly have no idea what's up with that.
The code that runs that part of the forum must have issues identifying my location or something. The Netherlands should be the correct one. Hmm. Othawa and Ximhungwe forming a pride together. Any new cubs will be raised as a mixture of the prides rather than just the continuation of one. So a new name would be fitting. Othungwe? Ximhawa? Or perhaps something to remember that the two prides used to be enemies in south african? Vergewe pride. (Forgive) Vergifnis pride. (Forgifnis) Saam pride. (Together) Vrede pride. (Peace) Vriendskap pride. (Friendship) Vyande pride. (Enemies) Anyway. This is mostly me having some fun thinking of new names. So take it for what it is.
After the loss of his partner, the Styx Male, the solo Nkuhuma Male has been spending time with a Mhangeni lioness in the Western Sector.

So happy to see her!You sure it isn’t gingerella? Welcome to the forum @alvernon Yes, she looks like the Othawa sub-adult lioness.

Lets wait and see if this continues, them hanging together briefly doesnt mean that this will continue. They are rival prides for many years, this Ximhungwe mothers where killed in a way by Othawas with Majingilanes and Othawas tookover territory of Ximhungwes after that, it would be quite story if this 2 females make new pride together.
The last Nwalungu/Nkuhuma male at Londolozi Game Reserve
The Nkuhuma Male scans his surroundings and weighs up his options, looking for any potentially vulnerable individuals. We believe this male to be between 5 and a half to 6 years old, and recently lost his coalition partner, the Styx Male.

In any case. Aslong she has the scent of the ximhungwe lioness around her. The Othawas are sure to reject her.
Both lionesses must be feeling awfully alone right now, so its kinda nice they found eachother. I hope they continue this.. It seems more and more likely that Nym will take over the Mhangeni pride, if things stay the same. Lets hope he does not repeat Nguvus mistakes. (10-28-2021, 08:30 PM)Duco Ndona Wrote: In any case.

As I said before, window for Gingerella to be accepted back pass away, first time since Othawa females rejected her as she returned was sign that she will prob not be accepted back, they have new cubs now to take care of, and Tumbelas also dont have reason to accept her as she is still not in estrus.. She was in lose-lose situation, stay with their brothers and leave the pride , or take the risk of getting killed by Tumbelas..

There are 9 of the Talamatis. They have been at a Zebra kill and now that the Meal is over they are relaxing. Dark Mane is not here. He had been on a Buffalo kill when this Zebra was caught and then he had some Kudu for dessert that he stole from Leopards. All in all the Lions are well fed now!
