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.

It was 100% not them, the only way they’re killing a cub at their young age is if they come across one that’s so far lost and helpless. They were also chased off by Tsalala lioness by herself a few weeks ago from one of her kills.
I would never say 100% the way things go down in the wild, but seems very unlikely.
It could also have just been a leopard. I think I remember reading somewhere that the greatest proportion of lion cub mortalities are by male leopards. That's how the Tsalala lioness lost her siblings. The PC males chasing two males could have been unrelated. We'll have to wait for more information.
