Hey James, Do these Matimba Males snatch kill from Tsalala females? Or they hunt for themselves most the time?

Hi James, do you think the Majingalanes pose any threat or with the Den site being North it would just be too far ? Did I read there was a recent altercation between the Matimbas and the Majingalanes with the Matimbas chasing them back West?

Hi Mike,
There have been a couple of altercations recently but from the looks of it it has been the Majingilane that have generally had the upper hand. They would certainly be a threat to the cubs as there were signs of a scuffle between the coalitions less than a kilometre from the densite…

Great update! They are so precious. I can’t wait to come back and see these new babies.

Can u update us on the Matimba Males progress

Hi Ramone.
Unfortunately not, we haven’t seen them for months.

Those babies are just too cute-
