Great sighting and updates of the lions in the Western Sector of Sabi Sands. Tumbela male on his own this morning at Inyati.
Othawa did not find her 3 daughters but hopefully soon they will be reunited. Ximungwe female and Othawa breakaway female still together. Inyati, South Africa.

Scar had it really bad, for the way the pride would turn on him, and attacked him over kills when he became weakened by illness, and who can forget Limper, who seemed to have a really playful, free spirit, side to him. Just like NYM, who has had a rather tough go of it his entire life as well, I do hope NYM and Skorro Jr's stories have a much happier ending, since they are still being written. NYM had as previous partner/friend Big-Boy Mangheni, and after his death, the Styx young male, right??

Yes, and tragically lost both of them.

You're right, NYM's story is very heart breaking as well.   
The Tumbela male has continuously surprised and impressed us all.
For the most part of two weeks he has been in the vicinity of the two Ximungwe females and lately been in great condition. However, this morning we found one of the Plains Camp males in the west again! Probably bring another change into the already super dynamic lion drama.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
Does anyone has video of Skorro Jr. roaring again? and source of info that he chased Talamatis?

Apparently the source is Leopard Hills. Though I cant find it on their Insta. Ive seen an unedited clip on the Othawa fan page aswell. 
Interesting, looks like he is starting to feel confident again, but PC males are also west, so not sure how long until PC boys will intervene.
He has been showing mixed signs of being territorial for a while now. In fact, this video was kind of expected to pop up sooner or later.
But yeah. He is making a huge gamble. I think he is hoping that the PC males are content with what they have and accept his existence as a neighbour for the time being. |
