Lions of Sabi Sands

[Potato]

The End of an Era?
~
We have received reports from within the Kruger National Park that the last surviving lioness of the Eyrefield pride has suffered an injury that will prove fatal. Her 18 month old cub is too young to survive on its own. So, barring a miracle, the sun will soon set on a pride thats history on MalaMala is second only to the Styx pride.
This Eyrefield pride has had an illustrious and long career on MalaMala starting way back in the early nineties. In the early parts of the 21st century the pride numbered 19, with 6 young males (Mlowathi males / Mapogos) who would go on to gain huge notoriety with their aggression and total dominance over the region. But like all mighty prides the dynamics shift and the same happened with the Eyrefield pride. Over the following years theirs numbers dwindled to the aforementioned mother and cub.
This particular lioness will be remembered as being the largest female in recent memory and one of the best buffalo hunters.
