There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Hi wonder would you know if all cubs, three cubs are there? I was thinking lionesses are older and Ndhzenga male lions are nine. I think lionesses would do better with plain camp.

Here is the description of that Instagram Post:


MalaMala Game Reserve, South Africa. Just a little further down river from the Ndhzenga coalition, we came across the Ntsevu pride - three lionesses and three cubs - on the river bank, also watching the herd of impalas across the other side. One cub is very curious and the others you can just see, asleep behind a lioness.

Yes all Ntsevu females are older than their Pride Males the Ndzenghas, to be more accurate K2 and K6 is born on February 2013 (11 years old and 10 months) and K3 born on December 2013 (12 years old) and all of them are daughters of the Majingilane Males.

Do you have information that confirms this? Because Mala Mala lists K5 as 11 years and 5 months old, and I assumed that the older three were K1, K2 and K3, and the younger three were K4, K5 and K6.

My friend, instead of replying to the same post, with two posts of your own, consecutively, perhaps you can just edit your first post, if a second question pops into your head. It happens to us all, I assure you.

I get that information from the Youtube videos of All about the Lions of Sabi Sand where she lists the age, birth month and birth year they are born and who is the father of the said lion. Do not know who is right if it is Mala Mala or the Youtube Channel "All about the Lions of Sabi Sand" but either way maybe Mala Mala is the correct one or maybe the Youtube Channel "All about the Lions of Sabi Sand" is the correct one. Just do not know who is right on the information.

I'm getting the ages from the monthly reports, which doesn't specify which individual is which age. It just lists two as 11 years 8 months, and one as 11 years 5 months. So mine is just an assumption, based on their numbers, and the one lioness we can know the exact age of, which is K5, as she's the only one of the original six still in the Kambula pride.

It's possible that this channel on YouTube is correct, as the ages listed in the MM monthly reports don't discredit or contradict what you said. I'd just say be cautious when taking the information of random/anonymous people online as fact.

Hi speaking of K5. K5 lioness is mother of young Kambula 12? My question is there any information if K2 son is ok? Or K5 sons? I was wondering if there is any information ? Hopefully young cubs are ok.
