I am so pleased to be able to report that the male lion we collared in January has become a father! We have yet to see the cubs ourselves, but there have been reports from the game scouts of 2 small cubs moving with their mother, and sometimes with their father. Lions were previously extirpated from the area, and in recent years the Lions in Mapungubwe have been largely transient. This is the first time we have evidence of them settling in the area, and it is a really good sign for the Lion population in the Limpopo-Shashe TFCA as a whole.
