WE is mentioning RNs daughther, I asume thats 2019 female sired by Avocas.
And Little Amber, she looks to be youngest, is she actually Amber Eyes daughter, or Chelas from 2020?
Which 2 of 2016 Bboys daughters are still alive?
If someone has ID pictures of those females it would be great to post it.
With all 4 Matimbas daughters gone, no cubs atm, and if Kambulas stay with them, this kinda looks like "beginning of new chapter" of NK pride.
So I can't tell these girls apart unfortunately, but I can answer your other questions.
The two remaining 2016 Birmingham daughters are Pale Eyes and Ridge Nose's daughter. I feel like the latter needs a proper name/ID. Will her daughter be called Ridge Nose's daughter's daughter?
The two 2019 lionesses are both daughters of Amber Eyes - hence why Cedric calls them Little Amber and Amber 2. Chela only had the son that's now in Kruger.

You mean territorial males or nomads?
N.Avocas did it with NKs in 2018.
I mean these NKs are not exactly subs anymore, they will be 4 yrs old in few months, females should be going in estrus soon.
I was referring to nomads, taking in subs of both sexes and getting them to adulthood, the way a lioness might be known to do, such as Tailless Tsalala. Territorial/dominant males have accepted others cubs quite a few times, like the Ross Males did with the Birmingham Pride as well.

No... But I havent seen a case where a group of subs lose their moms and not their father, maybe S8 could've done that with talamaties but they still had Tiyelele so doesnt count

You mean cubs/subs who are still too young to survive on their own?
Dont think that happen, as adult male nomad has no value from them.
But yea, male nomads do join other nomadic subs who are older and can hunt.

I thought the Nkuhuma subs were much younger than that, especially the young male, he does not look like a near 4yo male.
I remember the video where Brent lead the pride back to a lost cub using a carcass (many people had an issue with that, I personally did not). That little cub had stayed over night with two unrelated males, I believe they were nomads. They literally paid no mind to the little cub, and even played with it a little, but they did not harm it, and once the males left, the cub was unable to follow them (thankfully) and Brent saw it's return to the pride.

With wich pride that took place?
I don't recall, exactly, will see if I can find the video, and PM it to you, as it was definitely not the Nkuhumas.
