Merry Christmas

Detlef (Edpbs)

Hi again Peter! I always look forward to your posts on my page. You always find such interesting and sometimes amusing things. LOL I don't know what to say about the number of cubs. Wish I could go there and count heads. :) Saw recently it was said the Tsalalas had 8 cubs instead of 6. Still can't confirm that. Also, earlier this year it was reported that Sandy Patch had joined up with another lone adult lioness that also had cubs. Of course that wasn't so.

Following the lions sure is interesting isn't it Peter? :) Thanks again for posting.

Hi Peter, I too am confused about the Sandy Patch cubs. Saw the Simbambili report as well as a report from a Nkorho ranger that saw all 3 on the 19th. Will try to find out more.

Thanks

Wanted to add that I haven't heard any reports on the Sandy Patch lioness or her cubs except for sometime during the past week when Rexon mentioned she was alive and well and at least two cubs were seen with her.

Awww Such sad times in the bush. I was really hoping that the Sand River youngster would make it. He sure gave it a good fight. :( If you haven't already, maybe you could share this news in the lion discussion thread.

Haven't heard about the Nkuhumas during the last couple of weeks but they were in the Western sector and doing well on last report but there was no mention of how many were seen on those sightings nor was there mention of the cub with the bad hip.

Thanks for the updates! Been working on some projects and haven't been keeping up with all the reserves and their sighting updates like I usually try to do. Going now to try and catch up on these. :) Was getting worried about our old Roller Coaster male too.

Hi Peter, in communications with a ranger at Mala Mala... they are concerned also about the missing emaciated Styx lioness and cubs. They fear the Mapogos may have caught up with her and the cubs after the last sighting. :(

Hi Peter,
Indeed the walking with her lions ( marlice) is lovely!
I ordered the film
