Shishangaan Male Lions

[Spalea]

The Casper insights are pretty nice, although he seems to be limping again...

" Casper the white male lion taking care of the Satara lion cubs in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

The Satara lion pride welcomed 3 new cubs last year November. Over the last few weeks Casper the white lion assumed the protector role. He is often seen alone with the cubs or in the company of the mother and 3 cubs. With Casanova and Footloose of the Shishangaan coalition usually patrolling the nearby territory. Mfowethu sustained an injury last year October/November so he is often spotted alone and condition seems to be on a slow decline. He still joins up with the Satara pride and his brothers from time to time but not as frequent in the past.

There is another lioness from the Satara pride who is due to give birth soon so wee look forward to seeing their arrival.

The Shishangaan males seem to be spending most of their time with the Satara pride.

It’s been a while since they have visited part of the N’semani pride which they fathered cubs with last year.

So it will be interesting to see if they go back or if their sole focus will be on taking care of the Satara pride." Reply
