Dont think so, maybe 1 if so, if she is still alive.. Fourways pride in 2019 had 3 adult females (1 was Majingilanes daughter and 1/2 really old females) .. Others where subadults/cubs.

Any word on NK/Styx whereabouts? I thought they would have run into the Plains Camp males more frequently or are they not in the same area?

they seem to pursue different goals in different areas. Nwalungu males chase out the mhangeni pride, while PC males have been seen in mala mala / londolozi with kambula female. This may change over time, but at the moment the dynamic does not seem to involve the two coalitions.

Is the Fourways pride still under the control of the two no-ID Kruger males?

Who knows ey

Legend Safaris saw them in April 2021, 7 sub-adults on a kill. Later in June, MalaMala observed them on the 24th with another kill, this time 5 sub-adults.

Two of Nkuhuma young males, including Chela's son. He has a triangle birthmark under his eye. It's good to see him bonding with an older sub-adult male.

Speaking of the Kruger Males I saw this by @amedodinia which I found interesting. Apparently they are both a lot older than originally thought (born 2011?)

Not sure about the paternity part but the pics look like it could be them from 2012/2013.

Do these Kruger males only control Torchwood Pride?

Torchwood and Fourways prides. Although the oldest of the two Kruger males was seen on Hamilton Tented Camp with a lioness in 2018/19.

The younger one has a pretty pink nose for a lion that should've been born in 2011

Those pics are apparently from 2012/13 which means they would be born around 2010..he is definitely not that old..

Need to check whiskers if it is them..

I think this guy is around the age of N. Avocas, or maybe even younger.
