The remaining cubs were born in early 2017... that is when the current Styx young female was born, correct? Seems like this might be the last litter for the eldest one. 
Speaking of these elderly daughters, and while understanding there are no known sons of the Mapogos who still exist today, do we know of any of their daughters who still are?

The Three Eldest Mhangeni lionesses and the Two Othowas matriarchs are Mapogo daughters still alive today.
Thank you @criollo2mil.
May i ask you where u got the Late 2016 date from please? I was under the impression that all the 2016 cubs died from mange apart from one or two. Styx male. In April 2017, there were only two remaining cubs left from the 2016 litter still alive. One lioness gave birth again in Jan 2017 of 4 cubs (3F1M) and a few months later another female gave birth again to 4 cubs. In the end, the only survivors of b boys offspring from all 3 litters were the two styx females (one died last year) and one styx male (died last year). This just leaves one current styx young female. (04-06-2022, 12:19 PM)Mabingilane Wrote: Thank you @criollo2mil. It’s all over my notes. These are a hybrid of several sources.

3 New males from Sabi Sands, in Kruger, late 2021:

I dont want them to fight with N'ws, but I hope they stay around Sabi Sands, theres plenty of room for them around Lion Sands for now. 
A very impressive member of the Mhangene Pride.
This female is exceptionally large and powerful for her age, being the youngest adult of the pride she is often the first lion to instigate a hunt or chase. All in all, always an exciting one to watch.  *This image is copyright of its original author
