He twice mentioned Red Road's TWO sons. I thought there was a 3rd boy, or has he been gone for a while now? @criollo2mil what do your assets in the field say about the Nharu boys?

Also some rather entertaining wild dog puppies terrorising the local zebras, hyenas, vultures and 'no entry' signs.

its supposed to be 4 total boys in the Nharu.   for a very log time, Tristan and Bill Drew could only account for two.   the assumption at the time was they were wither pushed out by RRM or disappeared for other reasons.

but last month i think, he did a video and counted the full compliment of 14  lions (5 Adult Lionesses, 5 Female and 4 Male RRM offspring) so I was happy to hear because it meant the two other boys had returned.

Bill had moved on to Singita now and he was who kept me pretty much in touch with what he saw.   Tristan is a bit less responsive when I reach out to him so I cant tell what has been going on.

sightings of the pride have really slowed down in last few months, adding to the difficulty of getting a good account of them.

Ahah yes you're right it was 4, now I remember hearing the 5F/4M split mentioned in that video of them all shivering in the rain, separated from the adults. Anyway, very confusing. Maybe he meant there were only two at that sighting, but the wording was a bit strange if that was the case.

It must be a little frustrating trying to gather this information when the people at the other end aren't very communicative. But unfortunately for us they're not exactly obliged to do so. Reply
