Lions of Sabi Sands
|
The traditional understanding is that lionesses adopt all cubs in a pride as their own ( say Ximhungwe female ).
But we have plenty of evidence to say this is not always the case. Yes some aunts adopt their nephews, but some don't treat them as well as their own cubs ( K2 recently ), and others may reject the cubs if the mother of the cubs die, like the Ximhungwe pride at the time of the Mapogo. 
The mapogo son was a different story from what I was told that ximhungwe female for some reason raised her sons away from the pride so when she was killed by a snare they didn’t even know him when he tried to join the pride I think… oh yeah and his brother disappeared before he tried to join the pride
The Talamatis were seen in Buffelshoek 2 days ago, same guide said he heard the BDM were mating with a lioness there in Buffelshoek.
Could it be Tiyelele?    (05-03-2024, 08:36 PM)criollo2mil Wrote:(05-03-2024, 04:22 PM)T_Ferguson Wrote: Uggh... Apparently moving east again. This will put them pretty close to the Kambula's once more. Probably it’s an issue that occurs only to you. We will give you a solution soon. Btw, can you find the page Lion Lovers on Twitter? If you can not found it, probably you were banned by the owner and that is the reason why you can’t seen the embed posts from twitter (05-03-2024, 08:42 PM)T I N O Wrote:(05-03-2024, 08:36 PM)criollo2mil Wrote:(05-03-2024, 04:22 PM)T_Ferguson Wrote: Uggh...

Just for some reason it won’t show them. Here below is what I see . I don’t know why it happens. It’s just strange that it’s on different devices also, I do use a hack to view them. I just enter into edit mode then copy the link and paste separately. But it’s annoying. Lol  (05-03-2024, 08:36 PM)criollo2mil Wrote:(05-03-2024, 04:22 PM)T_Ferguson Wrote: Uggh...

Companies are making it so you have to be a member or sign up to even see the posts. I haven’t been able to see any updated posts from either Instagram, Facebook or X Twitter. We are completely unable to browse unless we download the app and etc etc. Elon Musk got upset that people were viewing for free and not paying so he basically had X pay walled. THANK YOU to those people who have accounts and share that info here. So many of us appreciate it!

Also, as i guide, he should know that size doesnt mean much in 4vs2. As for death comment, K5 is still very much alive after being attacked by both PCMs. In the end, guides just like us have their subjective opinions, didnt some guide before said that PCMs are not as big as people are saying.. so everyone has their opinions.
@Tr1x24 I think they are around the same height but PCM bodies are longer and they are much bulkier.
I also agree that numbers are everything, I think this might end badly for the PCM eventually. PCM have missed their chance to defeat the Kambulas, dunno if they'll have another chance. But as for a guide saying PCM are not that big I haven't heard about it. 
I could easily see this going the KT+MrT vs Majingalane route but I don't know if the Kambulas are upto the task. PCMs are gonna be super confident and come barreling in, and it's not gonna be pretty if they get their hands on one of the Kambulas. I wouldn't be surprised if we got Mbiris vs Guernsey level of brutality tbh.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got Mbiris vs Guernsey level of brutality tbh. Adding onto this, Kambulas need to get a lot more confidence in order to compete with the PCMs and it doesn’t seem like the PCMs are looking to give them such a chance, constantly showing they’re the stronger coalition. Unless the PCMs separate, I see them dominating the near future altercations. And like u said, I don’t think they’re gonna let another Kambula male slip thru their grasp if they catch one. K4 would be the biggest loss for them. 
This is however not a conflict over territory but just for mating opportunities. K4 already fled so there probably isnt much reason for the PCmales to press the issue any longer. They already have the lionesses. Once there are no longer any lionesses in estrus anymore, they will likely vacate the area again. Allowing K4 or other male lions to return.
Wheter they end up raising the PCMales cubs or killing them remains to be seen. So less the Majinjiane vs Mapogo scenario, but rather a repeat of the Skorro vs Nym vs PCmales scenario that plagued the Ximhungwe pride earlier. Though the whole pride may move west to be closer to the PCmales. Which puts them at risk for a potential confrontation with the Mangheni. |
