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.

You need to add also the 4 lionesses of the Mhangeni pride. They are also Mapogo daughters.

Well, you already have the 3 Mhangeni young males, plus six subadult females.

Quote:I believe there are only 3 Cubs at the moment. Anyone knows whether there are males cubs among them?
I think they are two males and 1 female.
Quote:And also why they are producing so little cubs when they are a coalition of four.
I think it has to do with the prides they control now.
They have the Othawa pride, were the mother of the youngsters was killed by hyenas and the other females seem to be unfertile, one at least and the other one seems to lose the cubs, maybe she does get pregnant and has miscarriages.
And then the Mhangeni pride who has a lot of young cubs, but they live in the borders of the Majingilane territory, the part that borders with the Matimba males.
So technically they do have young cubs, but they don't really have contact with the Mhangenis, at least not now.
