Lions of Sabi Sands
|
Yeah the PC Boys narrative of how they are so violent and kill all these lionesses is getting old. I don't see anything that stands out with that that any other lion can do. Look what happened to the Koppies lioness with Junior NK eating her with other females. I think it happens all the time unfortunately by a lot of different lions and we might not witness it. The 2 PC Boys are very impressive tho!
They had a bad start, but the last real incident is already a while ago and its not unnusual lion behavoir. It just doesnt fit in the lion king image that people tend to have.
I think they are more opportunistic and assertive than other coalitions though. 
"The Mhangeni Pride have again managed to kill a buffalo. With the pride all feeding and hyena gaining in numbers, the air was filled with eerie “whoops” from the hyena. We followed up early this morning to see what had transpired during the evening and a young male lion had taken over the carcass and dragged it into a drainage line leaving the hyena and vultures still waiting for some scraps.
He later moved the carcass into a more open area – a big mistake! The hyenas saw this as an opportunity to come closer, trying their luck to get a piece of meat. Although you could see he was a bit nervous with 7 plus hyenas around him, he stood his ground. Just as the hyenas thought they had a gap, he sprinted towards them, growling, and chased them all away… for now! Young nomadic male lions live secretive lives, often living off scraps just to survive while they learn the skill of hunting for themselves. They will pass through areas avoiding dominant adult males until they are big and experienced enough to challenge for a territory of their own."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Kambula #2 is for months now in Sabi Sands, since he returned back from Kruger, without Kambula #1. Looks like that sighting of 2 males on S1 recently are not Kambulas, or Kambula #1 found new partner.

The PC boys have calmed down a lot since getting a pride and cubs. They are whatever they are. Junior may have started eating his lioness, but I don't think it was because he was part of the killing. I've seen lionesses do the very same thing with with a cub who dies. It is not done to display power or in anger. I believe Jr began to eat her to keep other predators from coming to eat her. It was his natural response. The Mbiris probably had a different reason. In fact, later I think Junior was looking around for the remaining Koppies lioness and cubs when his face got mortally swollen. Junior's mistake was bringing the Mbiri lionesses back into the area of the Koppies in the first place. Dumb move! It changed everything in the area. Five lions dead and most likely ten of them when all was said and done.
Ultimately meat is meat. If you are a carnivore you often dont have the luxury to say pass.

They look stronger than any other lions in the SS ATM IMO. They are very bulky, I doubt any other duo can take them on.
