According to our ranger this has never happened, where the male lions didn't kill off the cubs of another male. He doesn't know if them letting the cubs live is just an anomaly or simply a matter of time.

One of the old boys showing the incredible physical strength for which they are known. Video by Justin Hall at Dulini. November 13, 2018.
This was one of the female lions of the small and unique pride that roamed this part of the reserve. It consisted of 2 adult females, 3 cubs, and 2 older adult males. Part of what made it unique is that the cubs did not belong to either of the males, and yet, they were peacefully coexisting. Our ranger explained that this is normally not the case, and that males tend to eliminate cubs that are not theirs, but apparently they have been living like this for a couple months.

There is something about being in the presence of a male lion, this particular individual was part of the Matimba coalition that called Londolozi home, they were not the biggest lions but they were beautiful. Image by Avijja Fonseka, November 14, 2018

@Raj8143, yes this fact is well documented, which makes the above report quite interesting, perhaps the photographer was simply mistaken. Here's an older image of Ginger (I think) when they used to spend time in Mala Mala. Image by hphpublishing posted November 14, 2018
