    Does anyone know the lioness composition in the tawny lion pride? Normally i can research these fairly easily but WMSP has always been quite vague in this department. Thanks for the help

    My list may no longer be upto date but here goes;

    Scar - born 2010
    Amber - born 2012
    Ambush? (Unsure if M/F) Born 2012
    Hernatty - born 2020 - Tsavo x Scar
    Harabi - born 2019 - Tsavo x Amber
    Hira - born 2019 - Tsavo x Amber

    I belive the other 8 are all males, but I could be wrong

    Does anyone have any updates on numbers regarding the Tawny pride?

    Emma, Nahla & Hira(0:3) were all rehomed to Blackpool last year and a male(Hunter) was also rehomed to Port Lympne.

    3:0 were moved to the new lion lodges so still on site but separated from the main pride.

    How many tawny females are left?

    Unless I'm mistaken I believe there is now only 0:3 lioness' left in the pride with 3:0.

    1:0 was rehomed to PL
    0:3 were rehomed to Blackpool
    4:0 were relocated to the new lion lodges

    The 0:3 lionesses left are
    • Scar(born 2010),
    • Amber(born 2012/2013)
    • Hernatty(born 2019)
