Lions of Sabi Sands

Lion - 120 sightings January 2023
The lions of Arathusa were out and about this month, with over 120 sightings of lions in total!
The tensions between Mowawk and the Black Dam males continue as they tussle for influence and control in the Sabi Sands area. https://www.arathusa.co.za/2023/02/21/ja...-a-glance/
Some lions showed up at Nkorho, 11 cubs with 1 lioness. No clue who they are or where they came from, they paced back and forth around the waterhole looking worried.

@book1206 damn what the hell, I hope she heals fast and well. It looks ugly but hopefully it's only a superficial wound.
Edit: I hope the Kambula who is with her brothers joins her distant Tsalala cousin if she can't rejoin the main pride or even the Breakaway pride.
@Tonpa now this surprises me, I never thought Mohawk would chase the BDM after getting dominated by them in their first encounters. Maybe he was feeling down since his brother died but now is regaining his confidence. But regardless, what an amazing job he is doing, even luring the males away from the cubs, impressive.
A work of a great, brave, and smart king.

It says that was in December, when BDM's where still quite new here, after that, and now, things have changed in BDM's favor. 
Thank you to all users with great knowledge.
I started reading from page 1 of this forum to learn about history. I just finished reading all the forums, and it took me three days (hehe) Do you know the location of Princess Chalala? Too bad she can't join another lioness like ximungwe. I'd rather she join ximungwe but is it impossible? It's so sad... I check news of othawa, Tumbella, Redroad, NK and Nhenha dozens of times a day and I'm always anxious that they'll go wrong...

No clue who they are or where they came from, they paced back and forth around the waterhole looking worried. Prob some members of Torchwood pride. That group of Torchwoods we see occasionaly in SS with Kruger male only has few adult females and few subs , around 10 members or so. Torchwood pride in 2020/21,had 13/14 adult females only . Very likely they split at this point, maybe even in multiple groups, east in Kruger. 
I heard ( keyword heard ) that facebook ( keyword again facebook ) is reporting a lot of intense stuff in the Western Sector. Can anyone verify any of this? All of this supposedly happened yesterday and today.
- NK back and with Ximhungwes; - Talamati males roaring; - Talamati's sisters some kms away from their brothers; - Manghenis around there in the West too; - One unknown male roaring; - PCM roaring back; - Othawas made an adult male nyala kill and were seen with full bellies ( was told there's footage of this ); - Apparently all of these lions minus PCM got in some sort of clash over the Othawa's kill with lots of roaring. It was thought everybody escaped unscathered, but no confirmation of anything; - Skorro Jr wasn't seen.

All of this supposedly happened yesterday and today. Saw this a few minutes ago. Looked around for more information but wasn't able to find anything else at the moment.

Hopefully they escaped unharmed. But could NK and Ximhungwes have fought the 2 Talamati males? This would be a more fair fight. Anyway now we wait to see if this is legit and if it is, the status of all lions involved. 
I agree. If they caught one of the Othawas, that would be the end of her. With some luck they were more after the food.
Western sector is having a lot of groups right now due to the power vaccuum in the deep west. So a lot of the roaring is probably groups reacting to eachother with no real involvement for various purposes.

On a potentially unrelated note, I saw that the Mangheni Pride was seen at Savanna as well. Great news! if Skorro Jr. came to help, it proves that these young ladies owe him a portion of their survival. |
