For oyher side some months before got pregnant she have been on idube land of majingis. The only ones who tolerated the tsalala subs were the majingis. She lived with the sub adults yet when she got pregnant. To me majingis were the fathers of these cubs. And they got close to the den site at londolozi when she had the cubs.

Well done to Irene who managed to capture this picture of the two cubs before they disappeared out of sight. You can tell they are still very young by all the black spots on their forehead and it may still be sometime before they leave the safety of their den site. Photograph by Irene Nathanson

This begs the question as to who the fathers of these cubs may be as this will be of vital importance to their survival going forward. About five months ago, which is when these cubs would have been conceived, the two Matimba Males were being seen regularly in the same area that the Tailless female was, so it’s most likely that they are the fathers, but we also can’t rule out the possibility that it may be one of the Matshipiri Males or even one of the Majingilane Males as fathers due to the distance and area that the Tailless female had moved through during that time.

I will try to get another source as well where it was mentioned that Matimbas mated with Tailless roughly when she was conceived...
But we never know who are the fathers.. Reply
