An image of Sassy and her 3 cubs from May 2021.  Here, you can see how she had a little runtie.   This might explain the difference in size in one of the three girls still alive today that some had hoped was one of Junior Mom’s daughters.  

This smaller female is most likely the one ID as the floppy eared girl in the ID cards above.

It is absolutely amazing, these girls are what, around 20 months old, already been by themselves for a few months, meaning they weren't even 18 months old when they ended up alone, yet they continue to provide for themselves, and have had at least one confrontation with a clan of hyenas in which the Othawas growled at and got aggressive with the hyenas. Not to mention, while still with Sassy but I am not sure if they were even 1 year old at this point, they actually took a kill from the Manghenis.

Some will call it luck, some perhaps age induced naivete', no matter how you label it, it is certainly an amazing story so far, and not even 2 years old yet. Reply
