This would put the White cub in Danger right?  That cub is in the Shish pride?

The White Cub is in the Birmingham Pride. No white cubs currently in the Shish Pride. Reply

Some of the oldest are over a year or year and a half now, so his only hope is to try to buy them more time by leading the challengers on long chases and moving around a lot with the pride. At least half of the 20+ offspring might have a fighting chance.... Reply

The Mapoza Male is having to do the same thing, so I don't feel too bad for the last Tridchart Male who is younger and fitter and is dealing with a duo instead of a trio Reply

There was a white cub born into the pride but there were other males around fighting for the prides and the cub and siblings didn’t make it. The lioness had cubs again. Reply

Hopefully some of those young survive as id love to see them grown up with those impressive genetics like the male who disappeared. Reply

Yes, it's strange how the other Trichardt Male just disappeared in his prime!!  I mean, in his absolute prime.  I'm ALMOST suspicious of it.  I'd like to think he went down by being ambushed and it was just bad luck....the larger coalition took surprising advantage....but I didn't expect it at all, judging by how successful the duo was becoming.  I mean, how many duos have 20 plus cubs??  Mind-boggling to go from utter success to now potentially trying to salvage half of what you earned....maybe.

Could have been kicked by a buck, broke a leg in a chase, lot of risks. Reply

Mainly what you said but also De Laporte pride south and Mantimahle pride south East. Nkhulu pride kinda further away from there though. Reply

@Brahim do you know which males/coalitions currently control those three prides mentioned? On a side note, does anyone find it strange how the two oldest Mantimahle sons ended up looking so different? I remember seeing a photo of them as young subs and they basically looked identical. This is in contrast to the Plains Camp Males who were very similar until Makhunga’s recent scars and eye injury. Reply
