It’s not what you think. The title, thankfully, is literal. The Tsalala lioness was found moving along the southern bank of the Sand River with her three small cubs, but …
I was about to write something about the Wild Dogs about to give birth, but then decided against it, as we’ve discussed the power of the jinx before. I’ll keep …
