Lions of Manyeleti

Great news for Mbiri Pride, Mbiri duo were prolly the biggest threat to this cub, well them and RRM but I think he killed the other cub while Mbiri Pride was in his territory, as long as they have any male presence protecting them the cubs chances are the highest it can be. 

This situation reminded me a bit of a post @BigLion39 shared in the Masai Mara thread, about the Enkonyonai boys as cubs. The first litter was actually visited by two seperate coalitions within the space of a day, both coalitions totally accepting and care for what they thought was their cubs. I don’t think we give females enough credit sometimes for how incredibly smart they can be. 

Anyways, as @Mapokser was saying, even looks won’t be able to lead us into the father of this cub, not 100% anyways as all 4 males are so closely related. I remember hearing that females are generally more receptive to males who are dominant and therefore conceive much faster, and I’ve always thought of it to be somewhat true. Going by that, Orpen would be the least likely father, between Mbiri duo and Mandevu tho it would literally be a toss up. Reply
