That Kambula family tree in the video is amazing.
@criollo2mil do you know who are the mothers of the Majingi daughters K3 and K5?

@criollo2mil But isn't the one some call "Super Mom" the first one who died? Because she was the one trying to take care of the Mangheni 12, therefore the nickname.

I’m 90% sure super mom was the mother of the last subadult sired by the othawa male and she was the female who joined the tsalala female for a few months I think last year but I’m not 100% sure she was big boy and sisters mother tinyas mother and k5 and 2 of the 3 mhangeni males mother I apologize if I am wrong but the other female is the lost female which I think was the first girl to go she was k1 and k4 mother along with 1 mhangeni male again I’m not 100% sure but from my notes that’s what I got (10-05-2023, 02:11 AM)Mapokser Wrote: @criollo2mil But isn't the one some call "Super Mom" the first one who died?

Supermom was the one that disappeared last year...her moniker comes from being the most successful in raising litters. the one that went with the M12 was called 'broken nose' by some.
Can anyone confirm id's od 2 SR females seen with Nkhulus:

Singita Sabi Sands update
With an abundance of large prey in the vicinity, the prides have been spoiled for choice. In the north, guests were treated to the thrilling sight of 11 members of the Nkuhuma Pride making relentless attempts to bring down a buffalo herd near Ingrid’s Dam. The very next day, the Ntsevu sub-adults trailed the same herd at Tom’s Dam. These five lions are in excellent condition, their manes gradually taking shape. Yet, they remain cautious about venturing further west after a run-in with the Plains Camp males, who chased them away from a buffalo kill earlier in the month. These two males have formed a close bond with the Ximungwe lionesses, who now have a litter of their own. Among the Mhangeni Pride, one of the five lionesses has been sporadically absent from the pride. She is one of the two older females, and it’s suspected that she may have her own litter of cubs hidden away. This would mean that all five lionesses have cubs, marking a triumphant year for a pride that has roamed Singita for over 15 years. These lionesses have enjoyed remarkable hunting success, securing several buffalo and zebra kills this month alone.
@Tylermartin!
The one who was with Tsalala is the old female with a new cub, she's also the mother of K1, K4 and the Mangheni male seen a few months ago. The mother of OM's daughter was the one who died last year. The first to die was the one who tried to raise the 12 Mangheni subs.
@Potato Interesting that PCM chased the Kambulas, hopefully they don't return because it'll ne difficult for PCM to deal with them once they get more confident. And now PCM seems to have even more cubs to protect.
I can't even imagine a takeover now that Mangheni and Ximhungwe prides are finally rebuilding + Othawas being able to grow without much trouble. 
Well then… Kambula males and their sister chased the Nkuhuma Pride, note only one male shown in video. Predicted Kambula YMs could come North and cause havoc but this is much quicker than I had imagined. Unless the BDMs pushed the Nkuhuma Pride South, the Kambulas could be making moves, big problem for everyone in the North, guess we’ll find out how serious they are if an altercation happens between them and the BDMs.
