I think that Tumbelas are now in great situation territory wise for quite some time, with demise of OM, potential new coalitions in the area will most like go for Mhangeni pride and wont push further west. But its questionable how long will they be satisfied with Othawas, and if no roar from the east might be enough for them to go explore that area..

I think it would be good if Nukhuma Male and Styx Male try to take over Mhangeni Pride as they are age-wise and ready for a pride. I am not sure where they are right now, but, you know, OM chased them away from the area two weeks' ago. They might attempt to return that area..

Im cheering for that also, as 2 inexperienced males might not kill OM's cubs, unlike some dominant and older males like Avocas..

I had a live chat with diffmarimane earlier today and he said he wasn't able to capture a footage or a picture of Scar Tumbela today because Scar was in thick thicket along with his two brothers, two lionesses and 3 cubs, though Limper and Auntie Othawa had came out for a little while before moving back in. Also, according to diffmarimane, Junior's mum wasn't there with the group because she was still denning.

The good news is this family has given birth to three cubs now after more than two years being free of any cubs. The Othawa pride consists of three lionesses, one of them at age of six, sired by Majinglane males, and the other two lionesses are advance in age by the day they are now at age of +13/14 and sired by the famous Mapogos. Sabi Sands, South Africa. Clip credit: @ginajovanna 
Ehrm they successfully raised 4 cubs in the past 2 years. I think only Jr's mom lost her cubs a few months ago.
