I would guess that it is Plains Camp males doing. Recent injurys on Nkuchuma male and some Mhangeni females did not came up from no where and PC males recently started moving more around Singita insteed of just sitting in northern parts of Singita. 
People have been predicting the death of the cubs for months now. But so far the Mhangeni have done quite well protecting the last few.
There is no acute reason to believe they will lose the last cub. So far no further information is available except that the sub has been missing for a few days. It may have been killed. But it also could have gotten lost during a hunt or something. I guess it being a subadult, it was given some more leeway or took some for herself than a cub would.

Bringing continued concerns of whereabouts of the Othowa Male’s eldest surviving Sub adult and where she has been. No sightings of her since 2 January.

It was barely 17-18 month old. Ans she hasn't been seen since New Year, more than two weeks. 
Plains Camp males take down an injured Zebra. Both males are looking massive.
(01-20-2022, 05:00 AM)The Mangheni sub-adult was lost in an apparent clash with the Kambula sub-adults, per one of the Singita rangers.

Little cubs have to grow up. They cant just stash her in a den endlessly and then magically expect her to know how to hunt later.
I am not saying she was already participating or anything. But if a wildebeest or zebra were to spot her as she was watching Or ran into hyenas while the adults were busy. That could also explain her death. Not everything has to be a male lion.  
Yeah, but that was months ago and they had 2 spare ones.
I doubt they mourned long over him.   (01-22-2022, 05:11 AM)1ofCourage Wrote: Lost Nkuhuma sub adult male. Is this Ridgenose’s other son? I know that one of the two she had back in 2019 unfortunately died last year from injuries I think. Or is this one of Purple Eye’s sons? Isn’t he in or very near N’waswitshaka territory? If so, thats not good. Hope he finds his dads and/or the pride soon.  (01-22-2022, 07:31 AM)WildLeonis Wrote: Is this Ridgenose’s other son?

Its Arathusa airstrip, he is on "his" and his pride territory, so he should find his pride soon. |
