This is bad news☹️A week ago, there was an incident where it was said that Gijima Male accidentally brought back Msuthlu Pride‘s youngest three cubs to Styx Pride. Eventually, Msuthlu Pride brought the cubs home,However, sadly, I have found that in every sighting video or photo since the incident, I have only seen one youngest cub for a whole week... Unfortunately... I believe Msuthlu Pride‘s youngest cub has lost two more, and this litter originally consisted of four cubs ??? syork2816? Seems like a bite mark on the cub and it really did not help when even though they have been eating in the pas sightings their body is still quite thin.

I think Msuthlu pride is having a hard time to get enough food, they are 4 lionesses and 7 subadults + cubs
Even the adult female looks a bit skinny. They will need Gijima's help to catch big prey. As our safari continued and the sun began to set, we came across the Msuthlu Pride resting. Just before we were about to leave, the pride started to stir. Some of the subadult males were contact calling, likely reaching out to the female we had spotted at the start of our drive. We stopped for sundowners at a safe distance —far enough to relax, yet close enough to return quickly if any action unfolded. The following evening, shortly after our sundowner stop, we received word that the Msuthlu Pride had just taken down a warthog. We quickly made our way to the scene and were met with a breathtaking sight - the pride feasting on their fresh kill. We watched in awe as they devoured their hard-earned meal, fully immersed in the raw power of the wild. The following afternoon, while still enjoying high tea on the deck at Bush Lodge, we noticed a small herd of waterbuck suddenly clearing the open area in a hurry. Sensing something was amiss, we kept a close watch on our surroundings. It wasn’t long before the reason became clear - one of the Msuthlu Pride females emerged from the drainage line and stepped into the open. She made her way to the waterhole in front of the lodge for a long drink before confidently striding across the clearing, her sharp gaze scanning the landscape. Wasting no time, we sprang into action, climbed into our safari vehicle, and moved into position for a closer look. What followed was a wonderful sighting of this powerful, muscular lioness. Her posture exuded determination, yet she kept her true intentions concealed. Eventually, as the afternoon heat intensified, she disappeared back into the shade of the drainage line, vanishing as swiftly as she had appeared.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Full report and more photos: https://www.sabisabi.com/discover/weekly...sh-vol-543
