Really great news! so, it seems that he was with them a few days ago heading into Kruger from Umbabat. Hope these boys establish a territory in the Timbavati and not in that part of Kruger where areas are big wilderness without access (in most of the cases) Reply

Were the cubs from the same litter?  Were there other littermates? Reply

Agreed. Out of the countless known prides in the GKNP, the Birmingham pride is probably one of the most consistently successful ones in recent memory. They have everything going for them, in the past and now. The lionesses are clearly have always been excellent mothers and hunters and the pride males in recent history have always been powerful protectors. On top of that, their territory is in prime real estate as far as wildlife habitats go. Reply
