Talamati  pride with DM Avoca. Guide said that DM was mating with one of Talamati females. Does anyone here know how many there are cubless lionesses in Talamati pride? There are 9 subs in the pride so I assume they are from 3 or 4 litters and there still should be 1 or 2 lionesses which still should be able to mate. Guide also said that young Talamati male with with black mane is getting massive.

Or maybe Talamati females are coming back to estrus again as subadults are over 2 yrs of age, same as Kambula females and Sassy are.

I remember somebody was saying in a report that young female is still long way from helping her mother on hunts, now we see thats not true, she actively hunts already with her mother..


I agree, Her still has a long way at the time of help her mother hunt a big prey. This Tsalala lioness not is a big huntress yet, and much less an adult lioness, Which helps a lot at the time of bring down big preys, For example,A big buffalo

 The youngers Talamati females,They did not have around 2 years old when the Avoca males took-over the Talamati pride? Perhaps,Those females are starting to enter in estrus right now,Interesting times ahead for them.

Sub adults from the Tsalala pride spent a few day around the lodge. They spent most of their time on the Dam wall right out in the open. A different experience eating breakfast with lions in view.
