Styx Pride

[criollo2mil]

“ The Styx Pride have going through a difficult time;

After the Nzengha Males abandoned them in search of new territory and females, the Styx (3 adult females and 11 cubs) were left defensless and have come into many conflicts with other prides and coalitions.

This video was taken the day after a violent altercation with the Kambula Pride, in which the three young male Styx and an older female were separated from the Pride.


In the last few months, two of the young Styx males have been killed by the Gijima males (who have inserted themselves into the Nzengha's old territory). An older lioness and some of the female cubs are also unaccounted for.

It is hoped that the remaining female cubs will come of age soon, and be protected by their age by any threat of overtaking males. “
