 Aquila posted this news in the Lions Database.....
Sad news.... The oldest Mapogo's 5 sub adult male cubs are dead. The Sand River pride consisting of 2 lionesses and their 5 sub adult male cubs were shot and killed after breaking out of the reserve. http://www.leopardhills.com/blog/index.php?itemid=217

Sad news indeed, ( but i have a sparkle off hope) It still seems that it is not confirmed 100% . although all the sighns look as if it is sadly true it is still not confirmed yet. so lets keep our fingers crossed.

The young Sand River Male has lost his fight to survive. Posted by Ulusaba: "Other great sightings included the Othawa pride and one Mapogo having killed an adult giraffe, which they fed on for more than a week. The young Sand River male also joined them at the kill, but as those of you who saw him would remember, he was in a really poor state, and could hardly muster the energy to feed, and unfortunately was found lying dead next to the carcass." http://vlog.virginlimitededition.com/?p=810 A very sad ending for such a brave youngster.

I was not able to sent any comments a week ( didnt work from my work account)
Sadly the death of the last Sandriver has been confirmed now.

( has a picture also )
I was hoping and hoping and wishing and wishing, he would be accepted by the Ottawa pride ( which seemed to work) under the protection of one of the older Mapogo's.
This Lion deserved to live a long and happy life after what humans did to his pride. He seemed to do well a long time taking care of himself. ( he was about 1,5 years old) It really makes me very sad to have heard he didnt survive.
As Duncan wrote in his blog.
We salute this brave young lion.
there is a comment on this blog from Drew who said->
I am sure that he is in that big animal Kingdom in the sky & has joined up with the rest of his Pride who have welcomed him home!
This comment made me very silent.
