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.

If she has any, hope she hasn't lost/will not loose them. They are going to be in a tricky position soon.
It seemed too wild to think she could have cubs though....because Junior would have been just over 2 when she went into heat, and none of the rangers hinted at a possible pregnancy, nor has anybody seen HB and Aunty mating for several days straight.... although I did see once where HB was trying to creep over her while she was dozing. She caught him, sneaky lion!
What will she do? Try tricking the Tumbelas once the take-over is complete? Try to raise them on her own? This is assuming there will be cubs alive and well once they start getting older and crawling about.
I guess she is still periodically leaving the pride? That would strengthen the chance those cubs are still okay and haven't been found by the Tumbelas or something else.
Junior is 2.5, so she certaintly can go into heat already, Kambula lionesses gave birth again and their previous litter is even younger, at 2 yrs..
Its impossible to tell what would happen if she have cubs.. She was also seen with Tumbelas, so she might trick them that those are theirs cubs.
