The curious part of this to me, or the worrying.  Only 1/2 Othawa girls.  Has the other been seen?

PCMs are in a complicated situation, they have all these females in the West and yet can’t protect all of them, which is partly down to their territory being too big, or the constant nomadic activity going on over there, and obviously that’s not including just the natural dangers to all lions. Dangers such as elephant stampedes and so on which already claimed the life of the male Ximhungwe cub. 

Bigger PCM has been very protective of the Othawas, even chasing off the Mhangenis, I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s partly to blame just cos his brother hasn’t had many interactions with them. He was just being greedy, same as any other male lion would. 

I was actually thinking about the Othawas yesterday funnily enough, wanting them to move into Londolozi or that Singita / EP boundary. Just a place they can come into contact with other male lions that they could actually rely on in the future. PCMs clearly aren’t on the same page about them. Reply
