Lions of Sabi Sands

[Mapokser]

And elder Kambulas became territorial a year before their younger brothers despite having the same life and becoming nomads the same time, all despite having fewer numbers. Not everybody will be the same, but didn't young Kambulas start mating in mid to late 2022? None of the cubs are even close to 2yo and the Kambula females are 6yo already.

They began to mate at 4yo IIRC, which is the normal/average.

If she was with the pride, yes she'd likely have cubs by now, but as I said, we don't know how much of such developments are due to genetics and environment.

It's like a lion's mane, we know the environment affects it, stress, sickness, not feeding enough, harsh life etc, but we also know genetics affect it a lot, some lions are naturally bald, others have big manes.

It's impossible to say how much of a lion's development and behavior is due to environmental and genetics factors. Reply
