I received a report yesterday that the 3 sub adult males and 1 sub adult female were seen alive and healthy north east of this mating pair with the other Riverpride adult lioness being found on a zebra kill further east of that. The whereabouts of Covid (cub born in 2020) is not known at this time.Is this the River Pride the last Nharu male Skorokoro controls?

Yes but he hasnt been with them much in the past six months as he is almost exclusively with western pride now. But those are his offspring that the lionesses are protecting 
andBeyond Guide André and Tracker Thomas watch the larger Mbiri male rest after mating with one of the Birmingham pride’s young females.
These males appear to have taken over the eastern parts of Ngala, as well as five of the lionesses from the Birmingham pride (including the white female and White Dot female). The Ross males have not been seen near this part of the property since, and the Mbiri males are not subtle about their presence! With the main pride being split up, the team is waiting to see what will happen with the lion dynamics!  *This image is copyright of its original author

According to Juan Pinto, the Black Dam pride has seven cubs that were part of their first litter and the underdeveloped male was one of those first cubs seen with the pride.  *This image is copyright of its original author So he is actually one of the older males. And the big, orange-eyed male in Sabi Sands is one of the youngest males. Really goes to show you can't judge a lion's age only by size or mane development. This male, despite his age is also the least dominant of the 4 in Thornybush.
Guernsey male with young Avoca male feeding on buffalo carcass a few days ago.

Repost from Cathan Moore which helps w the @Tr1x24 information for Mayambula
‘I see there is a lot of confusion regarding how many members are now in the Mayambula pride and I want to help clear it up. Of the 17 cubs that were alive after all adult lionesses had given birth, only 11 are still alive. 4 of the lates 6 additions didn’t make it for various reasons (we presume 1 fell victim to a snake bite, 2 more went missing and were found a couple weeks later completely on their own and literally skin and bones - they had been abandoned - and the last to die had extreme swelling of the head.) and another 2 from and older litter also went missing for reasons unknown. WIth 2 pride males, 7 females and 11 cubs - that leaves us with a total of 20 lions in the Mayambula pride as of 29th December 2022.” (12-29-2022, 06:29 PM)Potato Wrote: Birmingham break away males.
