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.

I count 6 females (probably also one or more RR daughters), 5 cubs (progressing nicely!). Red Road and his son are chilling in the back.
If there are 6 lionesses (I counted the same) then at least two of them are RR's daughters, as there are only 4 lionesses that are not his offspring - 3 original and 1 Thanda Impi daughter.
Edit: Lol see the post above mine.
The old female with broken tail/silver eye (14-15 years old) is mother of 3 cubs, she is always with a middle aged female who has 2 cubs (by elimination, Tintswalo daughter, 8-9 years old). There is another young female with 1 cub (RRM daughter?) that has been seen with the other 2 mothers. The remaining females are usually with RRM son, but none of them seem to be old... So I strongly suspect that two of old females passed away...
If this is true (and it certainly looks like one of Red Road's daughters has had cubs, then either she and her sisters/cousins have been sneaking off for some fun with other males, or what I have been concerned about has started to happen - Red Road has sired cubs on one of his daughters.
I know everyone loves RR, as do I, but it's really time he was ousted from the Nharu pride. They've got 3 aging lionesses (maybe fewer), one Thanda Impi daughter and then RR's girls. If this pride is to have a future, and not an inbred one, then new males need to come in.
