Did the Kambula young males come across the N'was males since the N'was took over their pride? Reply

Ndhzengas chased them few times, but Kambulas are avoiding Ndhzengas core/their natal pride area. Reply

that is good. Their sister contributes nothing to their future. It would be great for her to join the Kambula pride, but i doubt that will happen.

There is the risk of the 4 KBoys taking over a territory and she get killed by the females of the pride. Reply

She probably pulled most of the weight hunting. Though the males should have no issue hunting on their own.

I hope she is alright and just went home though. If Gingerella could find her way home all the way from Kruger, I dont see no reason why she couldnt do the same. Reply

"Shed probably pulled most of the weight hunting", based on? Ok i guess. Males can be better than females at hunting big prey such as buffalo, much better. 
Just like u said, they will have no issues hunting with or without her. Reply

On all their hunting videos it was males who where main initiators and where bringing down buffalos, not her.

These are 5 yrs old males, with 2 years of nomadic experiece of hunting, they dont need 1 smaller and weaker female to hunt. 

She benefit more from them, then other way around. Reply

Lionesses  are typically better hunters than the males as they are more well rounded hunters. Only when hunting buffalo the males have an advantage as they are the few prey that require brute strenght. So if that was the only food source I concede, but I doubt it.

In any case. The idea that she contributed nothing is far fetched as well. Reply
