Thank you for that, I had it all twisted it appears. So, it was Nhenha that was standing over her, and getting between her and the other females and Tinyo was the one off with the other lionesses a few yards away from the fight?

Does anyone know what prompted this skirmish, did she happen to walk up on the pride, or did the pride happen to walk up on her. I remember, the day the fight happened and videos began making it to the web, concern for the missing cub began, which was only exacerbated when one of the film makers stated they had heard something fall into the water. 

The story of this magnificent lioness, and all that she has dealt with in her life, her will and determination, will hopefully be told in a film one of these days, it certainly deserves to be. Then again, I wish there were more lion films as it is, I think there should be a film made about all of the prides and coalitions :), but the story of the lone T'salala Female is an extraordinary one, along with Tailless too.

No Tinyo was the one in between them. Nhenha arrived much later and started chasing all the others away. Tinyo was part of the action at first but also started putting space in between himself and the lionesses. Maybe Nhenha arriving convinced him to do it. But it did look like Nhenha was very confused about what he should do, he was mating with a Kambula female on one side and then was chasing the pride away from the Tsalala on the other. It seemed like he kept coming forward but stayed close to the mating lioness. Lions can be weird creatures but it was confirmed that Nhenha was the one trying to keep the Lionesses out of the area where the Tsalala was but they all went when he was away. This answers your other question. The Kambula are very flexible, they move where they want so they entered her territory but she was on the wrong side of the river which caused them to catch her.

Thank you for that my friend, certainly helped me understand everything that was going on. Reply
