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.

Youngest Nkuhuma has cubs. Number of cubs increased to at least 8. (Not sure abt Amber eyes cub though!)

Nkorho Bush Lodge:
21 August 
Morning Drive
- Just made it in time to see the one NKUHUMA female crossing over the main road with her BRAND NEW cub! There were TWO of them seen. Very, very exciting!
(Could only get one quick photo!)

Hopefully the cubs survive and are male or there will be another Junior situation

There are at least 8 cubs now and there are more than 1 males cubs for sure. There won't be a Junior like situation!
Also the dominant males are 4 strong and in their prime, I hope they will have a longer reign and raise all the cubs to independence!!
Nkuhumas may become the biggest pride in Sabi sands likely!!

We end this week’s recap with two male lion coalitions which have us all on the edge of our seats – the young Tsalala males and the young Avoca males.  Both coalitions are just over 4 years of age, with the Avoca males being a couple of months older, yet the Tsalala’s are quite a bit bigger than the Avoca’s!

To my knowledge there is only one male cub excluding these new cubs which haven´t been sexed so I don´t know if there will be multiple male cubs

Yes 5 Female and 1 Male in older cubs. (These 6 cubs belong to 3 lionesses)
New cubs (2) and may be Amber eyes have cubs alive or will have cubs soon.
This will account for all 5 lionesses having cubs.

The Avoca males were found this morning trying to mate (rather unsuccessfully) with the Eyrefield pride lionesses. 

With their numbers being threatened by other coalitions in the area, could this be the start of a new pride? Only time will tell.

Looks like the Eyrefield Male cub is alive and trying to find the Adult Females
Looks like he found them as well :)

Early Sunday morning one of the three Tsalala males was seen to be mating with an unknown female lion within close proximity to Selati Camp.
