I know there were 9.  We see that 2 of the males went into SS recently....supposedly chased by the Tumbelas (according to tracks).  Now they have disappeared.  Where are the other 7 subs?  Deeper into Kruger?

You are talking about Plains Camp pride??

In Plains Camp pride was never 9 subs, yet 5/6 (As far as I know maybe you have another info). 

4 of them showed up last year in Sabi Sands, 2 males and 2 females, then they returned in Kruger and now again 2 males showed up, .. Females prob returned to their mothers. 

In Sand River pride where 8 subadults, now only 2 females  who returned to the pride and 2 young males still alive.

Both PC and Sand River subadults where around/just over 2 yrs old when they where forced to nomadic life, so understandable that few of them didnt make it..

Yes, the Sand River Pride.  They had 9.  I'm confusing them with the subs from Plains Camp.  The article stated there were 9... but I suppose only 4 are accounted for.  Hope the Plains Camp Nomads are safe and survive.  It will be interesting to see if they stay in SS, leave to another reserve, or return to Kruger.
