What a good find! The lost ghosts - The Othawa sub-adults members were seen yesterday at Elephant point in KNP
Five lions - two young males and three females. Elephant Point is right near Paul Kruger Gate and overlooks the S3. Photo credits: Latest Sightings - Kruger  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

We havent heard about them for ages but there was never five of them. Who are two other females and what happened to the 3rd male? I guess they might mistaken 1 young male for a female because lack of mane, but even then theres 1 more unknown female. 
Are we sure its them? The numbers are way off and the post never mentions them being them. Just a unnamed pride of lions.

Thats definitely Junior on that photo.. And they where not seen in Sabi Sands for quite some time now, last time was in Singita, what, 3 weeks ago or something.
In that case I wonder what happened for this to be possible.
Not only are they short one male. I cant imagine Gingerella being accepted near another pride. So that could mean they lost two members in just a few weeks. Though I agree its also possible one of the lionesses is the missing male in a bad condition. Perhaps the other lioness is just a nomadic one they ran into. 
Yes that’s a Torchwood cub. Old sighting right?
Also it was the Othawa subs. They edited that post to 3 males and 1 female. (07-28-2021, 08:19 PM)Tr1x24 Wrote:(07-28-2021, 08:15 PM)Duco Ndona Wrote: Are we sure its them?

Its interesting how lions are different from one and other, either as individuals or gruops, when they become nomadic, some stay very close to their natal area (Styx and NK recently for example) while others move vast distances in span of months.. |
