Is strange behavior very nervous and unpredictable to what might happen.

Would not say it is strange behavior as male lions or female lions will kill another cub given the chance if it is not theirs or from another pride. For Styx Male behavior I would say it is not strange as he seems to be announcing that K12 is his for the taking, somewhat mating with K12 did definitely give a confidence boost to him.

Also if that was the older Kambula lioness wasn’t that the young lioness mother? Maybe that does not matter. I am thinking does it rule out the young lioness from hurting the cubs? The Kambula lioness may be her mother but she has cubs and does not and may not want her around her cubs. It has been seen with other lionesses once they have been separated some time with cubs they may not come back together.

If you mean in the latest part of the video where the cub is killed it seems like it is the Styx Male and K12, seems like she also did take part in the killing of the cub. As if it is a Kambula lioness she would have defended the cub and attacked the Styx Male but from seeing the video the Styx Male is quite relax to other lioness with him so I would conclude that it is K12 that is with him on the latter part of the video where the killed cub is shown.

 
Yes I was saying unpredictable for many reasons. Like in the end of the video it was said Styxt could stay, or leave. Syxt could join another young male lion closer to his age, but there is a chance he might stay with Ndhzenga male lions. I think it is very unpredictable what might happen next. Is unpredictable a lot of lions all are different, and can make their own choice different choices. Male lions before Ndhzenga male lions with Kambula lions; would chase two sons also had not seen them, and were chasing them, and it did not look like the NdZhenga male lion chasing Styxt they looked very serious. Styxt roaring was just calling K12 looked like to me. Yes K12 was Ndhzenga male lion and Styxt I wonder if she will have cubs. Styxt male did look calm I get the feeling there is a chance he may stay, and that is unpredictable if he stays or leave. Nervous part the Kambulas had been doing so good, and what Styxt male lion does may change. 

K12 may have cubs and maybe may not join Kambulas. Hopefully Kambula cubs are ok. May Kambula cub rest. Reply
