Near 2 yrs old, that happened around late 2020, she was alone after mid 2021, so around 2.5 yrs old.

Tsalala was over 2.5 when her mother was killed.

They both where left solo around the same age, already quite experienced hunters from what we seen before, Gingerella was leading hunter for his brothers, even when se was still with a pride, she showed remarkable hunting talent. And Tsalala, given situation, needed to learn hunting skills before lion in pride enviroment.

This 2 Othawas are without adult help since ~ 1.5 yrs of age, since October 2022 i believe, when Sassy was attacked by Ximhungwes, they where 3 at that time.

They definetly had much harder time, as they where much smaller, weaker and not near experienced in hunts as these 2 above, despite having more numbers.

They only now approaching age when Tsalala and Gingerella become solo, and they are solo for almost 1 year now already.

But yea, alone they prob wouldnt made it, as we saw with Sparta sub, who was left alone at same age as Othawa subs, survived few months, but in the end couldnt made it.

As for Wonkey, we dont know when he was born, but yea, he is prob solo since very early age.

The two Othawa lions were for sure smaller and weaker than the others mentioned, and yeah there were three of them the day they pushed back against those hyenas. Sadly the third one did not make it for long though, which caused great concern for the remaining two.

I am still heartbroken over the Sparta cub, that girl had so much riding on her, but in the end she was just too small and inexperienced to survive the perils of the bush.

I truly do believe that Wonky may well be the youngest lion I have heard of making it all on his own. He was just a little tike, with barely and fluff on his neck when he met up with DM, what an incredible young male. Reply
