There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

They mentioned finding two bodies of adult lionesses. So I guess they did.

No word on any cubs or Skorro found death though. But I think at this point its a given that atleast the cubs perished.

Sad  ( This post was last modified: 08-20-2022, 10:58 PM by afortich )

So sad but dignify dead to buy the cubs another chance of survival.
RIP for both may their deaths be worth it!!

Just to provide FULL CLARITY. 

The only carcass confirmed to have been found is of Auntie.  That’s confirmed by Savannah and Dulini.  

The Savannah post that’s been shared confused matters a bit because it intimated both bodies were found.   But they’ve provided clarity in saying it’s only PRESSUMED she’s dead. 

I do believe she’s gone.   It’s a foregone conclusion at this time.   There were sightings around 13 August if her two cubs alone.   These cubs have returned to the pride….without her.

It seems strange to me that a lioness, elderly, experienced, has started to fight against two adult males. Two males can kill an isolated male, let alone a female. How old are the sub-adults she was feeding?

The post is from Savannah below. As you can see it’s a bit badly worded cause it doesn’t speak as an assumption.

2 lionesses
5 cubs


Is there any possibility that the older lioness was Junior's mom, not Aunty?

June 2011 - Western SS

Othawa M
An old buffalo had died on Portion Five earlier in the week. Shangwa (female Leopard) and her cub were feeding on the carcass on the previous day. The Ottawa Pride had taken over the carcass. The 2 Ottawa males are becoming large lions.
