From Tinstwalo Safari Lodge:
The  Mbiri's prodigal sons return
Mbiri pride

The biggest news of the week, was the return of the one of the original Mbiri males. The two surviving males from their previous litter. The other big news is that one of the adult females is heavily pregnant, and has started checking some of their favorite den sites, around Catwalk west. The pride has been split for most of the week, but were reunited for a short while, when they killed a Buffalo at New Pump. This is where the Mbiri male, turned up. He wasn’t looking good at all, is very thin and week, and desperately needed the support of his old pride. The three younger males kept him away from the kill, until they were finished. Alistair witnessed, how all three of them gave him a violent welcome, that he didn’t expect. What does this mean for the young males though? Does this mean a coalition of four males for the future? If he survives, this could be interesting!
