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.
I read that they are too often wandering around, always on the move, so you can imagine the little cubs have a hard time keeping up! I don't think it's just the males that are killing them, no, it's mostly that they ultimately get carelessly left behind. The main culprits are the lead lionesses themselves. Their entire first generation survived only thanks to 4 males that were in their prime, protecting the area. Now, we can see how they try to raise cubs on their own, and they are sorely lacking... Even with the OM, they seemed restless when he was gone. He was the only male, so no lion could stay behind to protect the cubs while he went off patrolling.
Are there still cubs alive from the daughter of the Majingelanes? Their third generation cub was only Tinya, she should be approaching breeding age later this year I'm thinking.... Wasn't she born early or mid 2018?
