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 the Ximhungwe cub is truly a male and he makes it to independence, there will be a strong chance the pride will live on out of Othawa blood entirely. Though you never know, females can have cubs at 13, 14 and even 15 years of age.
But also, is this Ximhungwe lioness even of Ximhungwe blood? I remember that out of the 5 Ximhungwe ( mothers of this one ), one was a Tsalala female and the other one a Ravenscourt female. Tsalalas are Ximhungwe Breakaways so I guess there's that, but this current Ximhungwe female might be the daughter of the Ravenscourt female.
