No, she was born in 2012 so that makes her 9 years old.

So this means she could be a Mapogo daughter? Im not sure they had control over the pride though

If I'm not mistaken she is a daughter of the selati males

Clearly, that pride has a strong bond between the lionesses and cubs, which is fantastic to see.

She is a sister of OM, both came from the same litter and, yes she was sired by Majingilanes.
