Wonderful to see Solo growing into a beautiful male lion, I hope he can keep out of the Majingilane’s clutches.

They just ca’t catch a break can they… Any indications as to how?

We are grateful for each update. Thanks.

It seems the Sparta young lions made a lot of bad choices… Other lions encounter Majingilane too but nobody suffered such losses ! If they associated themselves with 2 older lionesses maybe their experience guide this group for a normal process , young lionesses became a unit and produce cubs , the next little spartans…
We have 3 lionesses four years old and they never show interest in breeding. The 2 young males four years old don’t look like spartans neither , are too underdeveloped and scared .
I hoped Tsalala young male will help the youngsters but the effect was contrary on long term.
Anyway he is the only one who benefit from his association with Sparta pride . He is the only one who survive well fed and without scratches .
I really hope some day to heard that this male turn and fight for his pride and don’t run for his own safe …

Adam/Rich, any news on the badly injured lion?? I know you guys are busy – doing things other than chatting to us 😉 and I appreciate the time you take to keep updates.

Please Adam/ Rich don’t let us in dark… What happened with that lion and what is the status of Sparta pride now ?

Hello Adam/Rich any chance to find news about that badly injured lion ? Is still alive ?

At present the lion is doing okay and is with the pride. The current make up of the pride this morning is as follows:

3 young females
2 adult females (one of which has broken off to mate with the Majingilane over the last week and then returned)
1 young male (the brother of the three young females)
Tsalala Young Male.

Many thanks Rich for news … could I believe that the 2 Breakaway sparta females reunited with younger lions and now are a single unit ?
It will be fantastic for the future of the pride …..

Yes that is what has currently happened. It will be interesting to see how the Mating with the Majingilane turns out.

Hey Rich,
thanks for the updates.
Good news the the injured lioness is still alive and is with the rest of the pride. Let’s hope for a full recovery.
But now is sounds like one of the young males is missing? Any information as to what happened to himß
Thanks and regards
Peter
