James I love this blog. It is interesting to look back and to see what is happening now and how the predator dynamics has changed. Would love to see more of this.

Thanks for the update James. Still amazing and never gets old. I almost need a scorecard to see who is still around and who is not. Such is the life. It seems like there has been really impressive numbers in the young leopard population. Is there something special about the Londolozi Preserve that allows this level of success or is this a normal reflection of year to year cubs (both leopard and lion) and growth to adulthood. Thanks again.

Fun blog, James. I’m especially happy to hear about the Three Rivers female. We spent hours with her and her brother just before Xidulu was killed and are glad to see she’s “made it!”

The Three Rivers female is awesome! What a survivor!

James, thank you for connecting the dots from a year ago. I began to follow the Londolozi Blog in 2017 and when I arrived this past November, was thrilled to finally see some of the lions, leopards and painted wolves I’d read about in various blogs. I hope that in another year, your blog will provide equally or improved news about these families.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the Tsalala female. Hopefully good news. Looking forward to reading more on the Ottawa male and maybe a Birmingham update too 😉

Thanks for the walk down memory lane James. Some sad and some happy memories, but guess that is simply life in the bush. All our beloved animals lead a very hard life in the bush don’t they. Thanks for sharing with us, a nice blog.

I loved this perspective and hope you’ll do it again! You pick the timeframe. Every single image you presented was perfection! What a array of superb images you must have gathered over the years!

Time for me to start sit ting sown with a diary/notebook so that I can sort out Who’s Who in the Londolozi family – who’s a leopard, who’s a lion, who’s had babies, who has this or that distinguish mark? And why ‘Tailed’ lioness. This looks like being an interesting exercise. Has an enterprising member of the Londolozi Team thought of writing a novel about the Main Characters? Thanks again for my ‘Daily Dose’!

So great to see the Birminghams! How I miss seeing them on Djuma and SL. Mfumo was the big mating male at the time and the other 3 were roaming the territory. Is that picture of Xidulu the same one that has mated with Hukumuri and has cubs?
