I mentioned the new dark splotches showing up recently on S8's front right shoulder, earlier. In a new video just released less than an hour ago, you can see them rather well. Strangely, he also had a small spot just behind his right shoulder, on his ribcage, that looks like the same thing. It would seem that whatever S8 has going on with his throat, or mouth, whatever it is does seem to still be bothering him, as can be seen in the night time shots of him with the pride in the road.

When was the last time the southern Pride female was seen? Haven’t heard or seen her in a long time

Well, as was stated in the Plains Camp males thread.  We can eliminate Skorro as a possible candidate for roughing up the 1 PCM.

Mohawk still kicking around.  I guess this is Arathusa airstrip?...  I think the group was all seen near Main Rd. last week, so either here, or the airstrip at Chitwa Chitwa.

video credit is Nkorho Bush Lodge, but that is opposite side of Chitwa Chitwa which I think is where the Black Dam Males have been hanging.  Not sure Mohawk is running through there.

S8 male patrolling. Apparently he was being very vocal as well causing members of the Nkuhuma pride to scatter including Mohawk. He (Mohawk) wasn't sighted again afterwards.

Last seen the final week in February.   Some believe she’s Denning near lion sands area.  But it’s been a while.

We're they successful?


So Sabi Sabi now seems to be updating their identification of the subs. Now saying there’s only floppy ears as the single boy. I still wonder if theres a second one that still looks like a gilr?? Hmmmm

Unless they lost some members recently. 
Are all 9 members seem recently ?

Nkuhuma following Styx's? I was thinking this might happen when i saw him at Sabi Sabi, he knows 2 adult females very well.

Unfortunatley for him, they will prob not tolerate him near young subs, although who knows, he was accepted by them once, so maybe he will be again.

It would benefit both parties, especially if 2 adult females get to estrus soon and start mating with Gijimas.

2 adult females are very likely not enough of a force to keep adult male at bay. Nkuchuma male's presence probably wouldn't be welcome from Styx females, but still he could force his way in.

The lionesses will probably seek to avoid him. I am more concerned about him running into the Gijimas.
If he sticked around that is. It seems he returned to the western sector for now.

Mali Mali turned out to be a bust. And now Sabi Sabi did aswell. I wonder which direction he will try next.
