There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Older subadults are 2 yrs old, and younger will be 2 in september, they are reaching the size of adult lionesses, in a few months to half a year they will be able to survive on their own, they already activily participate in hunts.
There is still no indication that they would be kicked out of the pride, they will most likely left/breakeaway on their own in a half a year to an year, because pride is too big and there will be lack of food for all of them.
If Kambula lionesses will be coming to an estrus again, Bboys will definetly mate with them again, if not, they might abandon them and try to find another pride, but at the age of over 10, its questionable are they willing to fight for another takeover..
I think they will stay with Kambulas as long as they can.
older 11 are around 1 year 10 month - 2 year. they need one more year, and if kambulas are good mothers, like Nkuhumas Nana and Older Tsalala (who rised Mhangeni pride members) , if not we will see another litter January-February(but most time lioness given birth in summer). I will try to explain my position. My prediction- Bboys abandon/left Kambula pride from this winter .
1. I follow lion around 4 year, i not seen any coalition who rise 2 litter of cub to adult ages,(maybe i am wrong, Majis were close with mhangeni).
2. Bboys abandon Nkuhumas , Styx and Torchwood pride with out challenge?.when sub adult were around same age or maybe younger than Kambulas.
3. If sub adults stays with pride another year, they will need more food and means more challange.
4. Kambulas like other pride did , they will try to mate with different Males. example Nguvu seen with kambula female 3 times and in singitas area also.
I dont Khow what heppend, but wish/desire is to See strong male lion coalition from this litter of Kambula pride.
