May - October 2019

Mbiri males attempt to take over vacated River pride and competition for it with nomadic Nharhu males part 2

13th September:

Later in the week, one of the Mbiri males joined them and was later joined by his brother, who just so happens to be nursing some pretty gnarly wounds again. This male just keeps finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. We are all of the opinion that he actually likes a bit of a scrap. Well that, and he seems to be a bit of a lady’s man – something which is bound to get you into trouble from time to time! He has had a good feed though and I am very sure he will be back to full health in just a couple of weeks. This is not the first time or the last time I am sure.

20th September:

The two Mbiri males appear to have spent the whole week in the company of the pride. With many of the water points having dried up in the early-spring heat, some of the only water in this pride’s territory is found to the south of our concession, which is what has kept them out of view. However, when they did return, the sixteen lions provided for the special sight that only sixteen growing lions can. It’s still such a treat to spend time in their presence, even if the cubs are getting more like adult lions with every passing week. The biggest shock for me was seeing the condition of the smaller Mbiri male; it wasn’t just his thin, gaunt appearance, it was the number of wounds that he picked up having clearly come across some neighbouring male lions while off mating with a lioness in the Klaserie. His legs were scratched up, and his face was reminiscent of his appearance last year when he got bitten in the head above his right eye. Fortunately, though, he is a warrior, and will no doubt recover from these superficial wounds that add even more character to his already scarred face.

27th September:

From the reports, the Mbiri males seem to have spent most of the week with them and haven’t once ventured back north to patrol their territory. Perhaps the fight that they were involved in two weeks ago has had far more ramifications than we initially thought.

Aftermatch:

Nharhu males taking advantage from damage made on Shaka Mbiri pressed even further south taking big hunk of Mbiri males territorry and secured River pride for themselfs.

Another shot of Shaka I have not seen before:
