Hi everyone, does anyone know what happened to the lone Eyrefield/Sparta pride lioness? Is she still located south east of Mala Mala? Last I remember she was mating with the three Tsalala males.

Updated map of lion prides of Sabi Sands since the last map i posted in June:
 *This image is copyright of its original author Updates: - in the past months new coalition of 3 young males named Tumbelas (3 out of 5 Nharu males) arrived in northern Singita, moving further west since and mating with Othawa female. - 2 unknown young males also arrived in northern MalaMala few month ago, but where chased away by Bboys. - also 4 Mbiris where seen in northern Sabi Sands but returned in Manyeleti. - 2 Fourways Pride males are also dominant over Torchwood pride, i renamed them Kruger males now as most people are calling them like that. - Kambula pride lost 2 subadults/cubs it seems, only 12 seen recently. - 8 Nkuhuma cubs are now showed as subadults,as they are over 1 yrs old. - 8th Nkuhuma lioness (NK males sister) was not been seen for few months now, but i still showed her on a map, her status is unknown. - in the past months 2 new cubs where born in Mhangeni pride, 3 in Kambula pride, 3 in Torchwood and 5 in Sand River. - lone Southern Pride lioness also gave birth to 2 cubs, but it looks like she lost them. - 1 of the younger Styx females unfortunately past away, after she got injured, most likely during the hunt. - Styx pride seems to establish themselves in the south, 3 females are seen mating with 4 N'ws males regulary, it seems that NK and Styx young males time with them will be over soon. - lone Sand River young male reunited with his brother and sister, they are hanging out on southern borders of Sabi Sands. - lone cub of Sand River pride from previous litter hasnt been seen recently, but i still left her on the map, status unknown. - 2 females from Plain Camp brakeaway left the Sabi Sands few months ago, 2 brothers are still moving in and out. - theres no new updates on Fourways pride.

Not knowing the particulars, I have to imagine that the current lion dynamics of Sabi Sands is likely the historically typical layout, with mostly one or two dominant males in smaller areas prior to the arrival of the Mapogos. Perhaps things are returning to some sense of normalcy, this many years later? (10-29-2020, 09:34 PM)BA0701 Wrote: Great update @Tr1x24 as usual.

Well, this is just current situation, even before Mapogos there where their fathers, 5 West Street males controling big portion of SS.. Then the Mapogos came, Majingilanes etc. Big coalitions are rare, but its only a matter of time when we will se another one controling big portion of SS, maybe 4 N'waswitshaka's are those in the future.

While looking at your current map, I was thinking the exact same thing, the 4 N'was on the map are the largest coalition listed, so if they play their cards right, they certainly could build something really impressive, for sure.  
Managed to get a copy of the MalaMala map so I stuck some of the Lion sightings on from January
