She briefly left and was seen with the pride but it didn’t last too long. She has been back with the breakaways now Here is a recent sighting of the four. 
Thanks @criollo2mil
So the core pride of 7 consists of 4 Original females and 3 2nd generation Kambulas. 4 sub adult males are with 3 other young females 1 male is alone What aboit the 6th Male?

"On our morning safari we found two Kambula lionesses with two cubs (being the Birmingham male’s offspring) feeding on the remains of a kill, close to Selati Camp. It will be interesting to see how long they remain in the area as they are currently within the territory of the N'waswishaka males."

It's been a while since your last post. 
If 5/6 of the Kambula males are now 4yo doesn't this make them the second strongest coalition in the SS right now? If none dies, they'll soon be more powerful than the N'ws.
Maybe it's a good idea for them to get as far from their mothers territory as possible, take some pride west of their natal territory or even keep living as nomads and buy their time because very soon the only coalition that is threat to them will lose their advantage, and considering how the N'was have issues with injuries and are at best average-sized lions, it might be sooner than one would think. And I'm not even considering the possibility all 6 will be together, if I understand correctly currently there are 5 of them are together. They could maybe take a pride in the KNP but I have no idea how is the situation there in terms of potential rivals.
Kambula Pride
The groupings we suggested last month held true for this month too. As a result, we continue to refer to the fragments of this pride in groups A – C (see August Game Report for the composition breakdown). Mating activities continue between Kambula Group C and the Ndhzenga males this month.
So, Kambula Group A consists of two females with two subadults, sired by the Birmingham males?
Kambula Group B consists of females from core pride Kambula Group C consists of 4 younger males and 1 female?? Maybe someone can correct that? |
