They have been vocalising announcing their presence daily. They seem to be going strong and doing well holding their territory. Here this male was testing to see the status of one of the othowa females. Credit: image by joffersphotography_ at Singita, posted October 4, 2018

Is it true the Othawas were fathered by the Mapogos? If so, Prince Othawa has some powerful pedigree, he has also been feeding on kills with the old boys. Seems the Matimbas are too wise to do some of the normal things that characterize males in their prime, like kick out their son once he gets big, or tolerate your girlfriend having cubs from other males. A natural mellowing of age so to speak. Credit: image by joffersphotography_ at Singita, posted October 4, 2018

And even though these Othawa cubs are Majingi sired, since they are being baby sat by the Matimbas I'll stick them in here beneath their handsome bro.

Absolutely amazing, I know it’s early but as they are accepting the Ottawa male, is he part of the matimba coalition now? Reply
