This morning we found the tracks for the three Majingilane males where they walked straight passed the lodge. By following the tracks they were located where they decided to settle down for the day.

This is happening NOW! Two Majingilane approach Ximpalapala Koppie where the Tailless lioness is denning two tiny cubs! The third Majingilane is feeding on an impala kill not too far behind. The two in picture are moving towards the koppie in response to an unknown lion roaring.

Are the Majingilane the fathers of the cubs? What is going to happen? Reply

The Week in Pictures #282
by James Tyrrell on May 5, 2017  

The majingilane returned to their old stomping grounds
of Ximpalapala this week, which wasn’t good news for their sons the Tsalala Young males, who were forced to beat a hasty retreat way into the south. The trio of young males have been found in the vicinity of the koppie almost daily, so to finally be forced out must have come as an unpleasant reality check. Since the departure of the Matimba males, they have been existing on borrowed time, not being pushed out by either their fathers or new males, and it was only a matter of time before someone came in to give them the boot. Having said this, they were back at the koppie barely 24hrs later, although since ranger Nick Kleer heard them vocalising only a few days ago, it probably won’t be long before they draw too much attention to themselves and get kicked out for good.

No one is entirely sure who fathered the Tailless female’s latest litter, being denned on top of the koppie, so the debate about their survival chances is heated.

Look for a full lion update coming soon from ranger James Souchon, but for now, enjoy this Week in Pictures

The Majingilane with the missing canine looks eastwards to where the roars of another lion were emanating from. Immediately after this, the Dark Maned and Scar Nose males got up and began moving in that direction, leaving the male pictured here to finish what was left of their impala kill.

The Dark Mane and Scar Nosed males head towards the distant roars. It turned out to be the sub-adult lioness from the Tsalala breakaway pride, although exactly who she was calling, we can’t be sure. Most likely her brothers, the three young Tsalala males, who had fled south the night before, most likely to evade the Majingilane. Reply
