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.

About a week ago, I received a message wit some bad news. The message passed along information regarding both of the youngest Birmingham offspring of the Kambula pride (the two females in the breakaways) were now dead.
I wanted to corroborate and wait for more information so I out some feelers out. today it was sadly confirmed by a londolozi guide.
The carcass of the last of the sub adult was found three weeks ago. (If you recall the second female had been missing since the deaths of Kambulas were announced ). Not sure of the circumstances but they did see tracks of male lions in the vicinity.
This is heartbreaking for me. I’ve tracked these girls since their earliest introduction into the pride. They’re immediate flee with their mothers and siblings away from harms way to escape the N’waswitshaka takeover and until recent news that one had apparently been assimilated back into the pride.
