@LIONLOVERS5 According to Umkumbe there's still four of them and the one that wasn't involved in the fight was seen with the other three later in the day. Perhaps we'll get a sighting of all four together at some point to know for sure.

@LIONLOVERS5 Honestly surprised they chose not to euthanize her. Wonder if there's a change in policy taking place in the Mara?

[Matt @Southerner85]

@_StephanieMyers All those people within that one area and the guy only has to engage one of them before getting past all of 'em. Wouldn't trust any of them to protect me from a swarm of gnats, lol.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Guessing the older cub was out of view?

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Believe he may have been following two lionesses. Pondoro posted two lionesses a few days ago moving through what appears to be exact same location.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 No problem, Crooked Tail is the third one sighted.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Thanks, good to see he's still around. Any idea what the nature is/was? I remember asking someone about it a while back but don't recall if they ever got back to me or not, lol

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Any idea who the lion they killed and cannibalised in southern Mala Mala was?

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Don't know if Nora had lost some of her hearing or if the multiple diesel engines running drowned out the sound of Bella2 coming up behind her, but it looked as if she had no idea of the danger until Bella2 was on top of her.

@LIONLOVERS5 Knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened, doesn't make it any easier to see though.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Not the most ideal place for him to be given the PC's and Nkuhuma/Talamati both control areas of Singita, but it's definitely nice to see he's still around. Guessing the dead male found in the south is/was the injured Mazithi/Tshokwane. All 5 Nkuhlu males are accounted for.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 I asked him about the identity of the lioness to be certain if it's her. Hoping it is since I haven't seen anything on her in months.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Speaking of the Msuthlu Pride, any idea if they've all been a counted for? Someone was alleging that one of the subadult females was the dead lioness from a few weeks back but my attempts to independently verify that were unsuccessful

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Was reading elsewhere that a male lion was said to have been seriously injured last Tuesday and was unable to move on Wednesday, no word on who it was though. Mazithi/Tshokwane was mentioned as a possibility as well, as one is said to be crippled to some degree.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Great to see she's still around and appears to be in good condition.

[Matt @Southerner85]

@LIONLOVERS5 Same here. If I see anything I'll share.
