There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
I doubt this will affect the Othawas. Nothing changes. What can affect Othawas is if Manghenis are forced to take over the West by the Kambulas and BDM.
Reason why Manghenis were spending so much time in the west was because the Kambulas and BDM were spending time in Singita.
The Manghenis always had numbers to take over the Western Sector, this since the Majingilane times, but never did, their territory is huge already and they are satisfied with only the eastern bits of Savanna.
So I don’t wanna start an argument but are we sure the last two girls are sassys? Any photo evidence of this or photo comparison I’d like to put this to rest once and for all lol

If im not mistaken its 1 Sassy and 1 Juniors mom, as 1 female is a bit younger and was smaller.

The other 2 are the current Othawas. Still, even this smaller female who died is believed to be also a littermate of the other 2.

Yes, highly probable that they're all from the same litter, Sassy's litter. By the looks of it, 2 daughters from Scar Eye Tumbela and the middle from Limpy Tumbela. I think Auntie Othawa's litter was just too young and vulnerable to the takeovers. The male was the last one that died, while he was on the run with Sassy and her litter. Pale-eyed male, resembling Skorro Jr., too. They would have been barely a year old to survive on their own, the younger cubs. If only the takeovers had happened a few months later, to buy those little ones some crucial time that would have given them a fighting chance, at least.
Plus, I recently saw footage of the darker one in front of the Nk. Breakaways, and she had a resemblance from a certain angle to her half sister, Gingerella, leading furthur credence to the belief that both of the remaining females are from the same litter.
Tbf the Othawa Breakaway is a carbon copy of 1/2 of her father, the Ginger Matimba. I don't think she'd resemble her half-sisters a lot.
Regardless, it's almost certain that both are littermates. It'd be a bigger mystery had the third female was alive, she was much smaller than these 2.
To claim the 1/2 living Othawa is not a littermate to the other one is to say she was much bigger than the one who died, despite being supposedly 3 months younger, and that at a time where they were around 1,5 years, meaning 3 months of difference in age would be huge.
