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.

Crazy. And I was under the impression that Floppy Ear as the only one from the little Styx male who made it to adulthood was the cautious one, that's why he didn't perish. Or maybe he was and his brothers were even more reckless (their sisters sure had better surviving rate - through the age where sex of the cub doesn't rally matter).

Amahle the pragmatic opportunist, one more female what's not to like, let's defend the young female and don't waste time with the male who is already running anyway :) Let's how Eorenji sees it. I still believe neither is actual father of Floppy Ear but they will ofc act like fathers, which in this situation might or might not make a difference. 

Considering how Ndzhenga seems to be starting to push out this batch of Kambula young males, Floppy Ear is effectively attacking his potential coalition partners among them (considerably younger, but seem to be on track to become nomads in next months; I wonder if Ndzhengas will keep being aggressive towards them with this danger floating around, they might just have their paws full with Floppy Ear and let them be due to just being busy).

Certainly there is potential for more interesting and perhaps unexpected/rare footage. Good in that reagard that this happens in well traversed areas and not on the very borders of Kruger proper or in it. Reply
