Lions of Sabi Sands

[Duco Ndona]

When a take over is imminent, its fairly common for a few lionesses to flee with the cubs, only to return once those are death or grow old enough to survive on their own. Sometimes the original pride male sticks with them, hoping to avoid his rival himself.

IMHO. The term breakaway pride is one that is being tossed around carelessly a lot. But unless its a group of lionesses that are clearly displaying signs of prefering an unforced seperated existance on their own .I am a bit more sceptical. Reply
