As we got into the sighting, they started to mate, but unfortunately it was in a very dense area. They continued to walk through some extremely dense stands on bushwillow trees until we couldn't follow them any further. The sounds of the Lions and the sound of thunder at the same time definitely made up for the lack of visuals of the cats mating. The male even roared at one stage straight after mating. Or miss identity and it was Ximunghwe female. 
I dont think thats the Ximunghwe female. Limper is one who usually mates with her

Something to be on lookout in how it develops  (10-03-2021, 08:29 AM)criollo2mil Wrote: Pravir has confirmed it was Skorro Jr and indeed with a Mhangeni lioness.

Skorro jr and one of Othawa lionesses, presumably Aunty Othawa

It makes sense. Just because a few of the lionesses has cubs does not mean the entire pride has to stop.
I guess in a few months, the majority of the pride will start gravitating towards Nym leaving the mothers and cubs to fend for themselves more. (10-03-2021, 03:08 PM)Duco Ndona Wrote: It makes sense.

Dont think NK male will be threat to cubs, he has 4 females to mate with and prob wont behave super dominant at the beginning if they accept him, same situation as OM was, he didn't harm Bboys cubs.
Where can I find that correction regarding the Nkuhuma male? I have some people asking for it and It would help to have a direct link rather than just a image.
