Ntsevu Pride:
These lioness in Ntsevu Pride is really looking old or is it the mange that makes it look like they are really old, I know they are old but not that old old.

Hi wonder would you know if all cubs, three cubs are there? I was thinking lionesses are older and Ndhzenga male lions are nine. I think lionesses would do better with plain camp. Reply

Here is the description of that Instagram Post:

MalaMala Game Reserve, South Africa. Just a little further down river from the Ndhzenga coalition, we came across the Ntsevu pride - three lionesses and three cubs - on the river bank, also watching the herd of impalas across the other side. One cub is very curious and the others you can just see, asleep behind a lioness.

Yes all Ntsevu females are older than their Pride Males the Ndzenghas, to be more accurate K2 and K6 is born on February 2013 (11 years old and 10 months) and K3 born on December 2013 (12 years old) and all of them are daughters of the Majingilane Males.

Do you have information that confirms this? Because Mala Mala lists K5 as 11 years and 5 months old, and I assumed that the older three were K1, K2 and K3, and the younger three were K4, K5 and K6. Reply

My friend, instead of replying to the same post, with two posts of your own, consecutively, perhaps you can just edit your first post, if a second question pops into your head. It happens to us all, I assure you. Reply

I get that information from the Youtube videos of All about the Lions of Sabi Sand where she lists the age, birth month and birth year they are born and who is the father of the said lion. Do not know who is right if it is Mala Mala or the Youtube Channel "All about the Lions of Sabi Sand" but either way maybe Mala Mala is the correct one or maybe the Youtube Channel "All about the Lions of Sabi Sand" is the correct one. Just do not know who is right on the information.

I'm getting the ages from the monthly reports, which doesn't specify which individual is which age. It just lists two as 11 years 8 months, and one as 11 years 5 months. So mine is just an assumption, based on their numbers, and the one lioness we can know the exact age of, which is K5, as she's the only one of the original six still in the Kambula pride.

It's possible that this channel on YouTube is correct, as the ages listed in the MM monthly reports don't discredit or contradict what you said. I'd just say be cautious when taking the information of random/anonymous people online as fact. Reply

Hi speaking of K5. K5 lioness is mother of young Kambula 12? My question is there any information if K2 son is ok? Or K5 sons? I was wondering if there is any information ? Hopefully young cubs are ok. Reply

Kambula Sub Male from the Ndzenga Generation.  

Still 8 remaining and they all have a very distinctive look to them.  They remind me of the Grumpy Kambula (K5) of the older Kambula :)

I wonder if the Nwas have fully driven FE out of the area, so these young males can be safe. Reply

@criollo2mil is it known if K5's son was the injured sub? Reply
