Like which exactly?

That is exactly what blog says no? "4 Lionesses – Born late 2018 early 2019, sired by Avoca males"

By the time Matimbas took over Nkuchuma and Talamati were already 2 separate prides and Matimbas raised off spring in both of them.

 “There are 4 lionesses and 2 young males. The silver eye female has been on her own for a while now, but when she joins the pride there are 5 lionesses.”    When silver eye used to join there 6 females. Without her there are 5. The statement that S8 male killed female subs is more egregious because here are no verified report of that at all. One subadult female was killed by the plains camp males. 

The Nkuhuma split happened during the Matimba invasion. Yes, the Matimbas took over two separated prides but prior to that there was only ever one Nkuhuma pride. Only Sabi Sands rangers think the Mapogos split the pride but there is no record in the Manyeleti supports this theory. Can you show me any report of the Talamatis in Imbali from 2008-  mid 2011? You won’t be able to because Blue Eye first showed up in 2011 as an unknown lioness. Like I said I’ll do a longer post and you can judge for yourself.   Reply
