THE NKUHUMA PRIDE = 16
3 ADULT FEMALES ± 7 YEARS 9 MONTHS
2 ADULT FEMALES ± 4 YEARS 11 MONTHS
7 SUB-ADULTS (3 FEMALES & 4 MALES) ± 3 YEARS 1 MONTH
WESTERN & CENTRAL EYREFIELD
(3 sightings)

There were three sightings of the Nkuhuma Pride in May. On the 2nd, five lionesses and one sub-adult
male were seen at Clarendon Dam. They were on the Gowrie Boundary, east of the Mlowathi River
three days later. On the 7th, six females were with one young male at Mlowathi Dam Crossing.

This is confusing what are the 4 Nukhuma male lions in the Nukhuma pride? There is 3 Nukhuma male lions with a lioness in Kruger and 1 young subadult Nukhuma still in the pride with the Nukhuma pride.
May Chela Tatered ear rest in peace. There is 2 Birmingham lionesses and 2 adult Avoca daughters. I saw a post where Mohawk was back with the Nukhuma pride.

It's just not updated. Mala Mala seem to be slow with updating the prides that aren't their resident prides. They still have 3 of the Birmingham daughters listed (3 ADULT FEMALES ± 7 YEARS 9 MONTHS), and the seven subs is the original number from the second gen of Avoca offspring. But they've removed all the Matimba daughters, including Chela.

To be honest I don't really pay much attention to the top part with the pride members, as I know those are liable to be innaccurate. I tend to focus on the sightings more, as those should be more revealing of recent dynamics. Reply

2 Birminghams around 8 years old (pale eyes, ridgenoses older daughter)
2 avoca daughters around 4 in a half maybe 
3 younger avoca daughters around 3 
1 young male around 3 as well

See to be honest even this might be innaccurate now as I'm not sure when the last time all three Avoca female subs were seen. As we can see in the Mala Mala report, and the more recent Elephant Plains sightings, there only ever seem to be four or five lionesses, maximum six, seen together. But that doesn't mean she isn't still about. Reply

@BA0701   Could you also rename the Charleston Males thread to include their lineage now that some of their sons have resurfaced.  FWIW I think that your idea is the best course of action in most of these cases since there are a lot of coalitions we don't get much info about.  Same for any prides in similar situations, e.g., Birmingham Breakaways.

That is an easy one, for sure. Reply

Seems to me that the young male on this vid is the missing Kruger Nkuhuma boy.

Nkhuma's up a tree... I hate Hyenas.  Correction.  I hate overpopulation of Hyenas...
