I wonder when the subadult males (8 right?) will be ousted. Age wise it may not be the time yet but they are developing quick, looking at their manes.

 And now also with the Nstevu pride incident vs one Kambula subadult last week, and with new Kambula cubs recently born, their time may come sooner than we think. 

I wonder if the fact that they are with so many young males potentially influences the time at which they will get ousted by their fathers. I can imagine fathers may see them as more of a 'threat' (mating wise or general aggressiveness that they do not tolerate etc) if the young males are with a large group, like in the case of the Kambula pride, compared to the situation where there is just a single young male in a pride.

Hi interesting topic. I wonder how two Kambula lionesses who had more cubs are doing. Hopefully they are doing good. One lioness was seen with three cubs, but no news on second Kambula lioness. 

Maybe young Kambula male lions will not leave yet. Kambula lioness must of separated, but I have been wondering what if two other Kambula lioness or remains Kambula lioness’s may have more cubs? All Kambula lionesses will May start to separate and chase young male lions. Also male lions chase young male lions when older, but lionesses may chase once they have more cubs and with many lions; lionesses may start separating early and male lions may just help lionesses, but lionesses would start competing against young lions when eating but for their cubs. 

In a few months maybe more cubs? 

Nestuvo lioness hurt the young male lions? Ndhzenga male lions were there. Nestuvo lionesses were with Ndzehnga. Reply
