Do we, by chance, know when this was taken? His new, and recent, eye injury does not seem present, unless this image has been transposed.

The Londolozi blog says 21st July. Reply

Yeah, that makes sense, as that would be before the most recent eye injury. Thank you, for that, my friend! Reply

Well, they are back together again and in the West.

Photos and blog to go with the Londolozi virtual safari video they posted. The boys on the hippo bull carcass.

Both PCMs back in the North, which is good as Kambula males are also at EP.

Why is it a good thing that Plains Camp males are in the same area as the Kambulas? (Just curious) Reply

Together the PCMs are untouchable against the Kambulas, separated however, they can be caught. Although that’s unlikely in itself with the Kambula males behaviour but they have been taking advantage of their numbers against recent lone males just recently. Chased off the Kruger male and stole his lionesses, then chased one of the Mantimahles. Reply

The PCMs have returned to the Mangheni Pride , chased Tumbela away and joined them on a Buffalo kill. First time they have visited the pride since May.

I think they were attracted by the big kill rather than a desire to visit, but I'Il take that, better than nothing, it gives some reassurance to the pride that they sort of still have dominant males and shouldn't try to go nomadic. Reply

True, regardless of their reason for returning, the PCMs presence is a net positive for the Mangheni pride. Reply

Appears to be mistitled, as that cub is a female. I understand it isn't your video, it is still a great clip of him interacting with the Mangheni cubs. Reply

Actually, no, I am not sure it these aren't the Xim cubs, I just assumed them to be the Manghenis, given their recently having paid them a visit. Reply
