Lions of Sabi Sands

[Duco Ndona]

This was quite a serious fight. I would not rule out that Tsalala and her cubs would have been killed had the PCmales not intervened. So NKuhuma and Talamati cannot be ruled out on the idea that the lioness and two cubs survived in my opinion. 

Tumbella can safely be ruled out. The chance of him suddenly forming a coalition and becoming brave enough to attack prides outside his roaming area this fast is pretty much nhil.

The Kambullas are also a possibility. However as the Kruger and Avoca male havent been seen together since this fight, of the three groups. They are most likely the culprit as they are the only group currently showing any signs that anything happened with them. 

I am not that worried about the Avoca. It seems the fight was witnessed so if he was killed or seriously injured it would probably have been reported. Nor does the PCmales seem to have serious wounds on them in their recent sighting with the Ximhungwes. Though while a Nhenha scenario cannot be ruled out, its far more likely he was only separated and keeping his head low to avoid another beating. Reply
