Lions of Sabi Sands

[Duco Ndona]

The pride and the PCmales never spend much time with eachother. So the bonds between the males and the cubs werent that well developed.

This bond determines if a male attacks the cubs or not and is often formed at introduction when the cubs are to small and timid to be more than a slight nausance.

However if this bond does not form properly. It just depends on how much frustration the males put up with before they lash out.  The cubs can be fine for multiple sightings and than still be killed if they do something that the males refuse to put up with. Once one cub is killed, the mood between the lionesses and male can shift drasticly, resulting in the death of the other cubs.

This might have happened in this case. But ultimately we will never know. But due to the rapid succession in which they died,I think the deaths are connected to eachother. Reply
