And one of the deceased lioness (K1? K11?) supposedly had a 5 males litter among the very first ones in the pride, but they were orphaned too soon, too little to make it, so none did (5 is impractical number to raise them all to independence with losing any cub early on and significant food drain in case of 5 males if they would had time to latched on the support of the rest of the pride, so it is not like we can just say there could be even 5 more males growing up, but interesting how many male cubs were in Ndzhenga's first litters in back then still united big Kambula pride; and how fewer is there in considerably smaller Ntsevu one now - small sample, but interesting considering how many mammal species notably deviate from the average ratio due to surrounding and situations the offsprings are being born into).

I think is time to let these lions go. Is done. There is no point in talking about the past, but the present lions. It is interesting what you said. I was counting and there is 5 female lion cubs in the Kambula pride and with the Kambula mothers. The Mahangeni pride had 5 females and 5 male lion cubs. Is strange how there is 7 cubs sub adults in the Mahangeni, but the Southern Avoca is around and what about the Nukhuma male lion and the Talamatie male lion? I wonder if the Mahangeni ever call the Plain camp male lions. Maybe they were avoiding them with all the cubs they have. With Gingerella it seems they are always eating and they are together but they are only 4 and two are young cubs. Reply
