Certainly, they have many vulnerable cubs to defend! I think that's why so much concorn for DM Gijima. 

An account of their currently surviving offspring, which may be fewer due to the decreasing survival rate as they grow:

Msuthlu pride (4 adult females) = 10 cubs  
- 7 cubs around born in late 2023/early 2024 (3 litters)
- 3 cubs around born in mid 2024(1 litter)

Styx pride (4 adult females)= 7 cubs 
- 3 cubs born in mid 2024 (1 litter)
- 4 cubs born in late 2024 (1 litter)

Southern pride (3 adult females) = 7 cubs
- 2 cubs born in early 2023 (1 litter) - they are the oldest Gijima offspring.
- 5 cubs born in early 2024 (2 litters)

In sum:

• 2 cubs around 2 years old
• 12 cubs around 1 year old
• 10 cubs around half year old or younger
  

Interesting 22 cubs. Ndhzenga with more. Ndhzenga 12 in Kambula pride, and 3 in Nestuvo pride, 3 recently born in Kambula. 

4 Styxt, 2 southern lionesses. 

Is interesting. Gijima male lion as two may have more cubs than other male lions. Ndzehenga male lions cubs are also brothers it is still very good Kambula lionesses and Ndzhenga male lions are very successful. I enjoy them. 

Gijima male lions if successful may have more cubs.

Ndzengas had a rough initial start w their litters w Kambulas...lost several litters at once (up to 11 cubs) so it was actually their second and 3rd wave of cubs/litters that we are seeing now.  

this is almost a carbon copy of the Birminghams....same thing happened with their initial litters....mange and leopard wreacked havoc. Reply
