In later segment Tessa changed the assumption after getting better visual to these being 3 Nkuhuma lionesses. Didn't specify she meant 3 mothers (she meant just 3 of the Nkuhumas, really) but also mentioned the Nkhumas movement and stated these three seemed to be trailing the pride. Take it as what it is, I for sure can't recognize indivual lionesses let alone from such a footage in tall grass, she probably had a better visual and is likely more familiar with the individual animals (than me for sure apperance wise especially, not speaking for the whole board) so I take as a face value preemptively till we know otherwise. Either way such a shame. Good thing is if she is one with the cubs, there are two other litters of similar age so it would not be over for her cubs if she did not make it. Perhaps.

That would be tragic, but the silver lining, as you mentioned, would be her cubs still would have a chance. I hope it isn't a permanent maiming sort of injury, but it isn't looking good right now. These animals have such difficult and dangerous lives, that coupled with their incredible beauty are big reasons they are so beloved by so many. Reply
