I think those cubs mostly died from starvation or where just lost, SP after the Charleston's abandon them where not very stable pride and where somewhat nomadic (roaming in and out in Kruger, and always returning with fewer numbers) without coalition to protect them, and there was a lot nomadic males roaming around.. 

For the lionesses, majority of lionesses where old, if im not mistaken they didnt raise any cubs to adulthood for many years, because in a span from 2009 when Golf Course males lost them to Toulon's, to 2016 there where many coalitions controling them (Toulon's, Kruger males, Sand River males, Fourways males and Charleston males), thats way too much to be able to succesfully raise cubs to adulthood..

Basicly, since 2010, Southern Sabi Sands and area around Skukuza, is one big warfare zone, and all prides in that area are either low on numbers, or completely extinct.. Reply
