Do we know where this was taken cos Floppy Ear was last spotted in KNP. The Kambula boys are up North mating with either Imbali or Nharu lionesses so it’s strange how they come to meet.

The author of the pictures also posted Kambula pride and Ndzhenga males, so im assuming its either MalaMala or Londolozi. 

K12 wasnt seen for quite a few days, so i doubt she has been with her brothers, and yes, Styx male was last seen in Kruger but some parts of Kruger border MalaMala, anyways im not sure the location.

Also i wasnt the one to ID the lioness as K12, because i cant lol. But two different individuals claim to be sure thats Kambula 12

Arathusa Safari Lodge

The Mantimahle brothers clashed with a clan of hyenas in a battle over a hippo carcass.

"The hyenas had clearly been feeding on the carcass when the lions arrived to claim the prize, and were unfortunately not quick enough to escape. By the time we arrived on the scene, two hyenas had already been killed, their lifeless bodies a testament to the brutal efficiency of the lions. A third hyena, severely injured with a broken back, lay in front of one of the Mantimahle males, clinging to life but unable to escape the inevitable. After we departed, its suffering came to an end in the jaws of its foe."

As was predicted by many on here, including yourself (if I recall correctly), once the boys found a pride, it was likely going to be that pride that drove her away, if they didn't kill her. It looks like she has a scuffle with someone.

She has those scars for a while, since when she was seen with Talamati female and before she rejoined her brothers.

I hadn't noticed that scar, perhaps she got it during whatever befell the young male.

They where seen in Southern MalaMala near Sand river.

So young female is quite a distance from her brothers.

FE still meets with his pride, so if she follows him, she might be in danger.

Maybe she could join the Kambula lionesses. I still think she could. The Kambula lionesses and cub are too many. Maybe joining the three lionesses the Kambula lionesses, seven cubs. The Kambula lionesses younger sisters came back to the Mahangeni pride.

Both males were seen heading to Singita this morning. Mhangeni Pride possibly has 4 males within a close distance and PCMs seem to pay no mind, I don’t even think they’re aware of these males yet. The cubs, as of yet, have been lucky Tumbela has been injured and S.Avoca was in need of a good meal. Add two fit males and the females stand no chance, IF Nkuhuma and Khanya found them and wanted to kill the cubs. A big if.
