Lions of Sabi Sands

[KM600]

To be completely honest, I think these bloodline talks are completely unnecessary, if, a big if, the current Ximhungwe lioness was to die leaving behind no cubs, then we can take it from there depending on how Sabi Sands itself responds. Even if she was to have cubs, ppl will still say 'well these two older female offspring still aren't Ximhungwes by blood.' If we was to track all these prides back, I guarantee we would have similar scenarios where a lone female has joined a pride and went onto help rebuild the pride, but it's never mentioned as much either because it wasn't documented or as it's simply easier to see them as full pride members from that moment onwards. We do the same with coalition members when there's atleast one member that isn't related to the rest, we say this young male / female was sired by 'said coalition' rarely ever by 'said male' unless the looks are resounding or ppl just want to credit their favourite coalition member with leaving behind a bigger legacy. 

I'm not saying let's completely forget their origins at all, just saying it's time to put this thing to bed about them not being seen as permanent members of the Ximhungwe Pride, or the pride even still existing in the first place. Reply
