Good photos from Sabi Sabi as usual.
The entire Southern pride:

Southern pride has 10 members:
- 3 adult females
- 2 subadult females: 2 y. old
- 5 cubs: 1 y. old.

I don't know how many females are there among the five cubs... but two or three females would mean pride composed of 7-8 females. ¿Can Southern pride become a mega pride again?

10 members, in 5 years, is absolutely unheard of! Has anyone heard of a single lioness rebuilding so quickly? The biggest boost was her having 2 females with the N'wa litter. I wish Xim lioness would have had such luck, even if she'd had one. I continue to hope that she is able to raise at least one more litter, after her current cubs become of age.

She can perfectly raise one more litter, she's not 10 years old yet and will be in estrus soon again. 
I think Gijimas played a crucial role in the rebirth of SP, they accepted the Nzdhenga daugthers despite being inmature and they have offered great protection to the cubs so far.
In the case of the Ximhungwe lioness, she managed to raise her 2020 daughter by herself to the age of 1 and a half year, but she was alone, without the protection of a territorial coalition, which finally costed the life of her daughter, she is a very smart lioness and after losing her daughter joined Gingerella.
