There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

There should be 3 female subs, but 1 might be gone, also its prob hard to distingush them from young males from the distance, as few males doesnt have manes yet. 

Purple Eyes is looking much better.

Dont know about Chela with Nkuhuma cubs gruop, 1 young male is with them for few weeks now, Chela is back with Nkuhuma subs (first female on video i posted).

Because of spliting its hard to see if all members are there, but looks like all sub males are accounted for (5 males), for sub females, 2 out of 3 females should be still alive for sure.

So there 7 out of 8 subs accounted for, 1 sub female is questionable.

The 3rd female was reported killed by the PCMs last (September I wanna say??).   There have been some disputing this because AJNE posted a video a month or two after the report saying ‘three females’.   So the speculations became that the reported female sub carcass found could have been that of Ximungwe Sub adult since that’s close to when she also disappeared.   Till today, I keep trying to see if that 3rd female is indeed still alive but like you said, sometimes they’re confused with males and even with the adults.

The Last Nwalungu and Last Birmingham make a wonderful pair.  

Nkuhuma is gaining size by the minute.

No, this is the lioness that Gingerella has on a few occasions accompanied and some hoped would stay as a Pride. Gingerella remains alone as a nomadic sun adult.  

This Lioness is the last of her Pride lineage.  The Last Ximungwe lioness.   Ximungwe is among the longest tenured prides in the entire Sabi sands but sadly is down to just this single lioness after the disappearance of her sub adult daughter last year.

Thank you buddy. So she is neither the Tsalala young linoness nor Lagertha, right??
