Othawa Pride

[Duco Ndona]

I dont think the Othawas are in that much danger really. Sure they should avoid the Ximhungwes and perhaps the larger hyena populations and such. But none of those are actively hunting them down but just small groups minding their own bussiness. Even male lions would have little interest in the girls aside from stealing the occasional kill as there are no adult lionesses in the pride to dominate. So it was relative easy to stay below the radar. 

The Sparta cub probably had better odds than the Othawas did after she lost her mother. Unlike the Othawas, which grew up playing in the comfort and safety of a pride. That lioness was born in a harsh nomadic life and never knew any other life than that. So she was already very experienced and seeing she survived for a few months, was able to put this experience into practice. Unfortunatly luck just wasnt on her side in the end. 

Without a proper date of birth or information on his exact backstory, its hard to determine Wonkys exact age or time as a nomad. Which makes him a great honerable mention, but I wouldnt pin the record on him. 

Ultimately though. Our records only go back a few decades and only cover a few territories. We probably had younger survivors in the past so I dont think we saw the lowest age yet. Though we probably are only a few months from its absolute bottom as obviously cubs cant survive in the wild alone. Reply
