September 2017 report

The Mhangene pride continues to traverse through large areas of the Sabi Sand. With 16 adult or sub-adult lions on the move, it is notable that even large carcasses are only going to last for a short period of time. This lion pride is large enough to consume an entire buffalo within a few hours and move out of the area shortly afterwards. There are no opportunities to bank on the fact that this pride would be waiting for you in the morning if they had killed a buffalo the night before. The nine sub adult males in the pride are showing clear signs of approaching adulthood as their manes continue to grow and their general body size increases, soon to be larger than the adult females. It will be an interesting time for this pride as the nine males (if they stand together and remain as a coalition) will be a force to be reckoned with. The aging Majingilane male lions are preoccupied with keeping new coalitions at bay, which continue to push into the west from the Kruger National Park.

Both the Mhangene and the Talamati pride currently have huge numbers of sub adult males within their prides will be interesting to see where they go once they go nomadic

Do you know how many sub-adult males are there in Talamati pride now

Tristan one of the Safarilive presenters said they are six they were sired by the selatis so they must be older than the Mhangene sub-adults

Don't forget the Nharhu Pride, they also have huge numbers of sub adult males. And maybe in the same age as a talamati sub adult Reply
