Now we're down to 5!  So, fewer than half of the Styx Subs are officially alive.  5/11.  I was hoping it would remain at 6, but I guess if they keep going into estrous at separate times, more deaths are going to happen.  This is risky and several Styx females have been doing this.  The Majing. daughter and now a sub has paid the ultimate price.  The other older Bham daughter is engaging in this behavior, too, going off on long stretches, potentially in heat and always losing her cubs (she was pregnant at least twice as far as I know).  She has been lucky so far, at acting like a lone lioness, mating with the Gijimas, but not bearing fruit from these encounters after many, many months.

There's a reason why it's good when the females go into heat simultaneously.  Otherwise, they are acting like lone lionesses, and have no better odds.  

Anybody know which female has been killed?  My thought is that it's either the 2nd one in the top or lower row....BUT could be the left lower.... Reply
