Unfortunately, none of them are white, so im hoping some lionesses will pop Casper’s white cubs soon
Well, you might be waiting in vain, because chances are not good These lionesses probably do not even carry the white gene, unlike Casper's pride. Casper could still have sired non-white cubs. His chances of having tawny cubs are actually higher!
Young Shish still doing well around Satara. Sighted on the H7 this morning. A fair ways along as well. Seem to be exploring further north and west as time goes on rather than just the fairly narrow strip they occupied towards the end of last year. With their pride full of cubs now and being 4 males well in their prime, I think they would be looking for further mating opportunities:

Again, from the Latest Kruger Sightings Group I'm on. There is a pic but it's of the camera display and it is definitely Casper. No photo of the female, though. Could possibly be one of the N'wanetsi/Semana females but I'm honestly not sure if they go much west of the H1-3? All sightings I have ever seen of them have been H1-3 to about H6 south, following the H1-4 not that far past Satara generally North and East and a few km along the S100. Their territory probably does extend along the H7 for a while but not sure it's going along that far.
Interesting behaviour shown by Casper and his brothers where they're fine around the cars and then showed fear when the vehicle with rangers and guns were getting close.
