Lions of Sabi Sands

[BA0701]

As much as I would never say any lion's death was a good thing, regardless of circumstances (outside of terrible injuries akin to what Dark Mane suffered), especially a cub, but if the Ximungwe female's cub died, the silver lining is he was the only male cub of the 3, and with her being the last actual Ximungwe female, and aging, it would provide her an opportunity to have another cub, that could, hopefully, be a female this time. I remember many of us thought her last cub was a male (little extra fluff around the neck area as a little tyke), and how glad we were to find out we were wrong. She worked tirelessly to help that girl along, just as hard as Tsalala did. She's been through a lot over the years, including the fate that fell upon the second to the last adult Xim female, she and the pride deserve for something positive to happen now. Reply
