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.

The lioness with no cubs. Born in 2007 Othawa lioness with no cubs is daughter to the older Othawa lioness, Half Ears that was killed by a buffalo in the last quarter of 2010. (September) All the othawas were born around the same time, the second lioness looked after all the youngsters after half ear had a second litter about 18 months or so later, not sure which lioness belongs to who but the no cub lioness is the spitting image of half ear. One of the males was also very similar in looks to her too She is the most easily recognisable one, she has a small face/short muzzle. Thank you Rob Vamplew for her history & photo.

To my eye she looks more like PB than Shaka. Why is there Talamati lionesses brought up there tho? Mapogos did not had any cubs in this pride.
Perhaps,In my opinion she look like more than Shaka, she has small face/short muzzle...
The Talamati historically is a breakaway of the Nkuhuma pride and we never will know if the Mapogo really have mated with those lionesses.
They have mated with Nkuhuma lionesses, but with those which stayed in Djuma. The Talamati lionesses ran away from Mapogos as they were raising cubs sired by Nkuchuma males.
