Othawa Pride

[Cath2020]

And this reminds me about why decisions to allow or not to allow previous offspring back into the pride, may predict the future.  The best thing the old Manghenis did was allow the 2 Majing. daughters back into their fold after they went nomadic for a long while.  They were very reluctant initially I read, but accepted them in the end.  Contrast this with the Othawas, and their refusal to allow the breakaway young lioness back, which might have sealed the fate of the very young subs, plus reduced the pride numbers.  She could have provided valuable help for the fleeing young with Sassy, and now she's helping to grow the Xim. Pride.... 

The 2 Majing. daughters helped the older mothers hunt and aided in Tinya's upbringing, now they are very much building the pride numbers with their breeding potential. 6/10 cubs are theirs. Reply
