She is far more older, born in 2013, younger lioness is born in Othawa pride in late 2018.

Interesting background behind them (for new followers),  this Ximhungwes female family (except sister and brother) got killed of by Gingerellas aunts back in the day.

But she got her revenge, she linked with Gingerella, who was Othawas outcast (as she was too young to mate with Tumbelas) and with help of Nhenha/NK, they outpowered remaining Othawas, mainly Sassy and subs (of which only 2 survived to this day).

Ximhungwe female got her revange, after many years.

So much history, with the Ximungwes. I mentioned in the Mapogos thread, they have never been able to gain any traction, in rebuilding the pride, even since Mr. T wiped out all the cubs. A lot of years have passed since that period, and she still does not have any cubs to show for it. I really hope she can give birth some time soon, and see those cubs to adulthood. She is the last blood of her pride.

As the Southern Pride has demonstrated, regrowing your pride quickly, is possible, but this gal is already 11 years old. If she is going to get it done, now is the time to start. Reply
