I made a figure showing the relationship between Tsalala-Mangheni-Kambula prides. I hope you like it! Please tell me if something is wrong because Kambula lineage is very tricky.

You can download the image and see more detail.

I believe it is currently believed all surviving Ntsevu cubs are not from the same litter - that one of the younger cubs managed to survive meaning one of the older ones did not make it. 

Also Mhangeni Twelve probably deserves a mention (just about their existence) if the family tree displays other males and their fate and already display some of them (Big Boy's sister). 

I assume the Plain Camps offspring in Mhangeni pride are just assigned to different mothers proportionately and we don't actually know whose cub is who among the surviving ones, beyond the No.10 who was always smaller and easily identified. I guess that's alright, but maybe someone will take it as a dogma in the future, possibly although worth another note or merge them together. Same thing in the recent Nkuhuma tree, where I believe only the surviving young male's mother is believed to be known and the other might be of any of the three posssibly mothers with assumption that each lioness has a surviving offspring due not coming back to oestrus but with no clue who is whose sister beyond that.

 But thumbs up, just nitpicking. Reply
