@Tr1x24 That was exactly what was reported.
They were together normally, suddenly Tsalala got anxious and protective towards the cubs in relation to the smaller PCM and called the cubs to hide. Smaller PCM got up and went towards the cubs with clearly aggressive intention, that was witnessed and now Londolozi is claiming the same. It was also the original report back in the day, that he was probably the culprit, because, well, it was what people saw. Since S.Avoca had an encounter with PCM at the time he ended up taking the blane, but everything points out to smaller PCM being the culprit. It was not the first, nor will be the last time a male kills his own cub, it's not even the first time it happened to the Tsalala pride: https://blog.londolozi.com/2011/12/29/ts...ale-lions/ They caught up with the Tsalala Pride on Winnis Clearing and all hell broke loose. The young male lion cub of the Tsalala Pride was killed instantly by the Scar Nose Majingilane. He roared multiple times as he lay on top of his victim. The pride was sent scattering in all directions. ... Why would the Majingilane Males kill their own cub? I do not have the answers… Did the Scar Nose Male not mate with the female, thus was he possibly not one of the fathers? Are the Majingilane Males not direct brothers as we had initially thought? /\ Anyway, this was in December 2011, Majingis had been mating with Tsalala since 2010 and the other cubs were accepted. If we've seen the Kambula females kill their own pride cubs after already being familiar with them, on more than one occasion, this shouldn't be a surprise. |
