Maybe some of the younger ones gave birth?

Could be! Has it been long enough, should be 110 days. I don't know when the first mating happened Reply

I guess we will have to wait and see when they showed up with the cubs. Reply

You guys are correct. It must be k5 or one of the youngers. 

K4 gave birth in late May and was seen  lactating as of 4th June. 

K1 gave birth in late May too. 

K5 must have dropped in early July. Reply

Seems that his limping problem is hindering his ability to catch up with those cubs, which is an advantageous for them, hopefully. Reply

"The last [youngest] of the Birmingham Male’s lineage lies within three young cubs, two of which are young males and one young female. Here an adult Nstevu Female stays back with one of the young males as the second female stalks a distant wildebeast on the horizon."

I thought it was only one male left in the litters.   Rest were female.   My tracking says there should be two girls and one boy? Reply

2 Kambula females of "childcare" group, but no cubs with them since Wide-Nose Ndhzenga chased them?? :

Very concerning.. Reply

Looks like Kambula breakaway's :

Looks like this young male has snip tail, not sure which one is that. Reply

I think this is KM2 and Kambula 4 who is showing teets.   

Not sure  if KM1 is with  or near them.  

Wish we can get more sightings to be sure Reply

I believe this is another sighting of the same two Kambula lions from @Tr1x24 post above
