Ximhungwe had a male cub last year, unfortunately he passed and to make matters worst she didn't mate ever since. Choosing to help raise her partners cubs. I haven't heard of Tiyelele in a while... Alone in the north, i hope she is fine and will show up eventually. Regardless of that, both lionesses should start aging sooner or later. Ximhungwe being born around 2012 and Tiyelele around 2015-16 (09-21-2024, 02:50 AM)Ngonya Wrote:(09-21-2024, 02:21 AM)Go131810 Wrote: What a beautiful lion he was. They were beautiful lions.

I the Talamatie lioness was with the 4 Kambula male lions last seen. Would have had liked for her to be with the young Kambula sister that is now with the Styxt lioness. I even thought maybe if she was or could be with the young Kambula lioness they may go south and the Talamatie lioness could go with her young cousins and relives with the Gijima male lions, but hopefully she is ok. She is alone would like for her to be with the Nukhuma if she could. She was seen with the Nukhuma lionesses and Mohawk and black damn male lion.
Tintswalo - April 2017
The resilient survivors of the Ximhungwe pride at Tintswalo during early 2017... 2 young females and 1 young male on ´Scratches Plains´ Ximhungwe young male, he had a concerning limp during that time and wasn't seen afterwards. Meanwhile his two sisters came back into Sabi Sands  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author 1/2 Ximhungwe females  *This image is copyright of its original author

Every time I see a photo of the Selatis I imagine the what if one of them wasn't injured by the buffalo.
My guess is that it's likely the local population would make a quick recover after the Mapogo era. Othawa pride had 8 cubs over 1yo. Ximhungwe pride with 4 females and cubs too. Mangheni under Majingilne. A shame what happened. (11-29-2024, 02:49 AM)Mapokser Wrote: Every time I see a photo of the Selatis I imagine the what if one of them wasn't injured by the buffalo. It is funny (odd type funny), how one small thing, something seemingly inconsequential as a single injured male lion, might instead be hugely significant, having a big impact for decades. Precisely why many are bothered by the insistence of some to intervene when a lion is injured by natural causes, because it may well have enormous consequences down the road. If the injuries are known to be caused by man, then by all means, intervene, I believe we have a moral responsibility to do so in those instances, but not if the cause is from a natural source.
Yeah. After that all Othawa cubs were killed and having only 2/3 fertile females, they never managed to have big successful litters again, then not much longer one of the fertile females was killed by hyenas.
Ximgungwes didn't lose their cubs as easily ao had to avoid Majingis and were decimated by Othawas. The rest is history. If the Selatis had remained in power, however, we'd probably be seeing the West divided by a huge Othawa and Ximhungwe pride, with a huge Mangheni pride in Singita.

Still strange how the Magingilanes went west, but must be when Matimba male lions in Sabi sands were with Styxt, Kambula then is like Birminghams male lions followed Matimba male lions, but yes Ximhungwe, Othowa; I had read Ximhungwe had daughters of older brothers in west. |
