Also it is believed that the Styx Male killed a Kambula subadult/cub (did not say if it is female or male that is killed) and severely injuring one of the young males.

Ndzhengas really need to push him out of their territory as it seems like Styx Male is killing their cubs and is trying to take a piece of their territory. I was also surprise that the Styx Male is full blown roaring in the territory of the Ndzhengas even when he is chased away he returns back to roaring, what a confident young male hope this confidence of him brings him good and not bad luck.

Also for K12, seems like the Ndzhengas would like to keep her as he is protecting her from another Kambula lioness. Wishing good luck for K12 as being a lone lioness is hard hoping she teams up with some lioness.

What a silly boy, roaring after he'd just been chased by an Ndzenga male. Though it did seem that Amahle wasn't particularly keen on attacking him, just reminding him who's boss. I feel like an actual beating would have been better, considering he's possibly killed a Kambula cub, and severely injured another one. That footage near the end of him lying close to the body seems to indicate pretty strongly that he did. I imagine he came across some of the subs/subs on their own (looks like a younger one), as we've seen the Kambula lionesses have no problem driving him away. So his presence in Ndzenga territory is a real problem.

If that was the oldest Kambula lioness (K5), then that was indeed the breakaway lioness's mother. They said 'older', which could technically be any of the lionesses, but from the way she was running after K12 it did seem like an older lioness, rather than a still youthful 6 year old.

Anyway, let's hope the N'Waswitshakas can protect their remaining offspring. Reply
