Mangheni Pride

[Mapokser]

It's very sad what happened, just after the miracle of the missing cub returning and all 10 being accounted, still, admittedly, I'm happy that #10 is seemingly alive, as his my favorite. He must have been lucky as he is way younger and not as fast as his siblings.

1F and 1M down, giving the circumstances, I guess it was also luck, it could have been way worse, I wish the PCM would meet them, return to the south, make sure they are well protected.

4F and 4M are still enough to rebuild the pride well and have a strong coalition in the future, with 4 males, but the thing is, actually getting all 8 cubs to adulthood without their fathers' help and with Tumbela and Talamati/NK around will be very difficult, the loss of the 2 elder females was too much of a strong blow to the pride, I always knew they'd need those 2 around until the cubs were at least 2yo.

They'd probably not have lost cubs with 5 healthy females still kicking. Reply
