Why did Sabi Sand euthanize their sons? Did they get infected with some sort of epidemic disease ?

No, not at all.  They merely escaped from a protective barrier one time.  For this infringement, they got a death sentence.  Believe it or not.  It was a VERY controversial decision.  If it had happened in more enlightened periods....like more recently, they might have just been relocated or been given more chances, at least.  There was a whopping 6 sub-adult males, if I'm not mistaken! Imagine the progeny they could have left behind.  I believe this judgement was motivated in part by the reputation their sires had, but it was no fault of the sons of the Sand River Pride.  They were nomadic or almost so.

So sad to know these young boys dies in this way.

Thanks for the update!

Crazy how much has changed since the last map. I am curious how long this one will last with everything in a state of flux right now.

Thank you for making the map!
I just can't find Nbiripride, Nharupride, Redroad.
By any chance, why are they excluded from the map?

This is only map for Sabi Sands, not Manyeleti.

Oh! Sorry.
I guess Sabisand and Manyerity operate separately.
I want to know Manlyerity's map, but I give up because I don't have it.

Yes, they operate separately.   The Tintwalo lodge page used to keep one in their web site.   Go take a look to see there.  

I might have a copy of an old one I will post in the Manyeleti thread later today or tomorrow once I’m able to get to a better connection

Hi, I am new here but are the southern Avoca male lions still hold territory anywhere in southern Sabi Sands or in Kruger? They were living a near perfect life for a male lion last I heard anything about them, basically once they stop hanging out in southern Sabi Sands.  Does anyone have any info on them please but I see they still hold territory in southern Sabi Sands from the map that was posted but I don't know how old that map is.

Updated map after 5 months :


*This image is copyright of its original author


Some news since:

- last Bboy, Nhenha, died from his injuries from the fight vs 2 PC males
- 2 Ndhzenga males, Wide Nose and Gore, died in quite short span of time
- 2 adult Talamati "breakaway" females suddenly died after losing condition rapidly
- 3 Kambula females (2 older and 1 younger) also died, unknown reasons
- last 2 Kambula breakaway sub females are also gone, most likely killed by other lions
- looks like only 4 out of 7 Nkuhuma subadults are still alive
- I still showcased Mohawk Avoca as territorial male, although he is more of a semi-nomad, avoiding new territorial males, BD males
- 1 Styx sub female was killed by PC young male and his sister
- 1 adult female, 1 sub male and 1 cub from Sand River where killed by Nkhulu males, who are causing trouble in the south
-  with 2019 female maturing, Sand River pride still has 4 adult females, although subadult numbers and genders might not be accurate/up to date because lack of info
- I still left S.Avocas as territorial males, although it looks like they are on their way out, pressured by Nkuhulus, will see how it goes
- we had some recent sightings of Torchwoods, breakaway group has a lot of cubs, but adult females number in core and breakaway might not be accurate, as some females overlap, aswell as subadults numbers and genders, too little info
- 2 Mantimahle sons are starting to be seen in Sabi Sands, they are dominant over Torchwood Breakaways and Fourways prides (prob since late 2021/early 2022), possibly pushing for rest of Torchwoods
- new young male, Skorro young male, was seen at Londolozi in recent months (not sure on his current status tho), aswell as PC young male in the south.

Might be worth adding imbali breakaway pride on the Buffelshoek Manyeleti border, they seem to be pretty stable in Buffelshoek recently. 4 female two young males

Thank you so much for this.  I did think the S. Avocas were last seen up by Hamilton's though.  I question if they are still around.

I didn't see when the Nkhuma's lost 3 subadults... Sad
