There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It's clear there is a size gap between one cub that looks smaller. I'm not sure whether is a cub from the smaller litter, or 1 of 3 cub of the bigger litter with a growth delay (maybe due to severe mange?). In the first case, one of the older cubs should have dissapeared, because I haven't seen sightings with more than 3 cubs.
I think that's Amahle not Eorenji/Orange Eyes. Difficult to tell at a distance but he looks like Amahle to me.
I've suspected for a while that one of the younger cubs survived, and one from the older litter died. The size difference is just too big. As you said it would explain why K2 hasn't come back into heat (that we know of) or fallen pregnant again. It's a shame for the pride really as both these lionesses are getting older and running out of time, which means the pride will become very small at some point.
