【查尔斯顿雄狮联盟专题贴】持续更新！！！2014.12.25
本帖从2011年4月查尔兄弟出生开始记录至今，其中包含了将近400张的图片与众多的文字记载，详细记录了查尔阿姨带着这兄弟俩生存的艰辛与它们成长的不易。它们3年多狮路历程的记录映射出非洲草原上每一头能够成功存活长大的狮子也许都有着一段不为人知的辛酸故事。它们所做的一切都是为了生存，为了完成造物主所赋予它们的使命。因此，每一头狮子都值得我们每一个人去尊重！
Born April 2011
Our Auntie, the Charleston lioness has taken great care of us since our Mum died in January 2012. We are venturing out on our own more these days. Follow our stories here.
2011年4月查尔斯顿兄弟出生于 Kirkman's Kamp 营地，它们的父亲是著名的KNP雄狮联盟兄弟，普遍认为是老k的大哥Limper所生。KNP雄狮联盟由两头强悍的大雄狮组成，它们来至于克鲁格地区，在与地主雄狮联盟土伦3兄弟争夺萨比森南部领土的时候以少胜多的击败了对手，夺得了南部狮王的宝座！
查尔斯顿狮群与南部狮群都世代生活在萨比森的南部地区，同时这两个狮群也属于世代宿敌，但南部狮群成员众多，是一个超级狮群，而弱小的查尔狮群在一次次的交战中节节败退。2011年11月之前，它们狮群的成员尚存3只成年母狮，一只一岁多的亚成年母狮，与四只几个月大的幼崽。在11月里它们狮群中最年长14岁高龄的查尔老奶奶（查尔阿姨的母亲）在与南部狮群的战斗中丧生。两个月后两个狮群再次发生战斗，查尔兄弟它们的母亲战死，查尔狮群再次减员。年轻的查尔阿姨成为了狮群里仅存最后的成年母狮，她不得不独力承担起抚养这5兄妹的艰巨任务！

A flash from the past. This is a tender moment shared between the current Charleston lioness and her late mother. This granny was one amazing (yet mean) lioness. Apple didn't fall to far from the tree I suppose...JP Joubert

good news- Charlston mother of 3 found this pm, den sight just off Kingston break...
好消息，今天下午三头查尔斯顿幼崽的妈妈被发现了，他们的窝就在Kingston附近
from Lion Sands May 2011
The two large Kruger Males still remain a regular sighting on the property and continue to move between several lionesses of the Southern Pride as well as all the lionesses of the smaller Charleston Pride. They continue to move between Kirkmans and Lion Sands and can often be found in the eastern section of the property, but have recently been seen crossing the Sabie River into the Kruger National Park, before once again returning to Lion Sands.
The Charleston Pride, Lion Sands dominant lion pride, was once again seen on an almost daily basis during April and May. They continue to move between Lion Sands and their old territory of Kirkmans towards the east. There have also been some new developments in the Charleston Pride, with one of the lionesses giving birth to three healthy cubs. The cubs are in the region of 2 months old and mother and cubs can often been seen in the eastern section of Lion Sands in a large drainage line off Hammerkop road.
KNP联盟雄狮兄弟继续在Kirkmans和Lion Sands游走，它们游走于南部狮群和查尔斯顿这个小狮群之间， 它们经常能够被在东部地区发现，但是最近发现在它们回到Lion Sands之前，被发现在克鲁格公园正在穿越Sabie河流， 他们尝试接管Hilda’s Rock狮群！
查尔斯顿狮群在Lion Sands地区是处于主导地位的狮群，它们在四月到五月期间几乎每天都能够被看到，他们继续游走于Lion Sands地区和他们过去的领地之间。最近查尔斯顿狮群中发生了新的变化，一只母狮生育了三只健康的幼崽，幼崽现在大概两个月大（也就是说查尔兄妹出生于4月初），幼崽们和他们的妈妈经常能在Lion Sands的东部地区Hammerkop路外侧的排水口处被看到。 他们游走于Lion Sands和自己老的领地之间，但是最近他们在Lion Sands度过的时间更多，三只幼崽上个月被报道他们长得很强壮也很健康，而且被确定是一男两女（这个确定最后证实是错的，应该是一女两男），这些幼崽成长得很快，查尔兄妹已经能够跟随妈妈将食物从一个地方移动到较远的地方了！

查尔狮群正在进食它们捕获的猎物，这个时候狮群建制还算健全，3头成年母狮外加1只正在成长的雌性亚成年还有3个小幼崽，显示出一副欣欣向荣的场景，但谁也想不到几个月以后将是另一番消极的景象！

interesting morning, charlston pride with 3 cubs and one kruger male feeding on a old buffalo, of which they scavenged. not even 100m away southern pride were seen hunting huge herd of buffalo, 6 lionesses with the other kruger male. furthest north the southern pride has been seen. pushing in on the charlston pride territory... very interesting
8月30日在Kirkman's营地的查尔斯顿狮群还有三只幼崽和KNP雄狮在一起吃一头水牛，南部狮群的六头雌狮和另一头KNP雄狮在不到一百米的地方也在狩猎水牛，南部狮群正在将自己的领地向北推移准备侵占查尔斯顿的领地……非常有趣

From Paul Rocky Bester ~ Kirkman's Kamp
charlstons lost another member to the southerns last night. lioness got beaten badly, and had her back broken. southern pride were very vocal last night, and this morning were spread all over the reserve. no sign of any charlston members. this could be the last of the charlstons, with no males for backing. sad times..
Paul Rocky Bester it was the lioness with the 7 month old cubs, so as it stands now, only one lioness stands with a sub-adult who is still not hunting.
Paul Rocky Bester 14 yr old lioness died in november by southerns . they were over thrown, while on a giraffe kill. lioness was never seen again.
Linda Pettit .......Charlestons were down to only 3 lionesses (after the 14 yr old lioness died recently ) - the young 2 year old female - the two older females have the cubs. These two prides had a fight on 2 Jan 2012 as well but all came out ok. obviously not this time....
****
so as it stands now, only one lioness stands with a sub-adult who is still not hunting
waiting on word of remaining 7 month old cubs
1月16日，查尔斯顿狮群在昨晚上又失去了一名成员，再次与南部狮群的打斗中，查尔妈妈的后背受伤了，她遭到了南部狮群严重的击打，昨晚上南部狮群奏起了响亮的胜利号角。今天早上我们没有发现任何查尔斯顿失群的踪迹，她是七个月大幼崽们的母亲（这个时候的查尔兄妹应该是9个月大了，也许是记录者的笔误写成7个月大了），因此目前的情况是这个狮群只剩下一头母狮和一头仍然不能打猎的亚成年。
去年十一月份另一头14岁的母狮也被南部狮群杀死了，母狮们再也没有被发现了。查尔斯顿狮群只剩下三头母狮了（在14岁的母狮死了以后）还剩下一只两岁的母狮，两只带着幼崽的母狮，这两个狮群在2012年1月2日进行了一场战斗，但是没有狮子受伤，因此很明显不是这一次！（我认为所指剩下的3头母狮里应该是包括了那头快两岁的亚成年母狮

Just in from Kirkman's Kamp via Paul Rocky Bester
charlston pride were found last night all 4 cubs counted for. as it stands now one lioness about 4 years old with a 4 month cub, 1 sub-adult with a blind eye, and three 7 month old cubs,( 2 males 1 female) . sub-adult still too young to hunt, so survival rests on the shoulders of only one lion.. tough times..
The prides survival now rests on the shoulders of one 4 yrs old lioness. How will she manage?
查尔斯顿失群昨晚被发现了四只幼崽都在。一只大概四岁的母狮（也就是查尔阿姨}和一只四个月大的幼崽，一个瞎了一只眼睛的亚成年（查尔表姐的一只眼睛应该也是在这场战斗中失明的），（同样的问题，这个时候的查尔兄妹应该是9个月大了）和三只七个月大的幼崽（2只雄的，一只母的）亚成年雌狮仍然太年轻还无法狩猎，因此生存的压力就全部落在了这头4岁查尔阿姨的肩上，，，这是一个极其艰难的时期
战斗结束后的第二天，南部狮群的16名成员正在 Kirkman's 营地寻找食物，似乎想扩大它们的领土。两个狮群一度非常接近，但查尔阿姨成功的带着所有的5个孤儿安全离开了这是非之地！

fantastic news for charlston pride,, all cubs alive and well. killed a young giraffe this morning
第二天，一个美妙的消息，狮群所有的幼崽都被看到，还有一头刚刚被杀的年轻长颈鹿。
查尔阿姨不愧为是一头伟大的母狮兼母亲，为了这个岌岌可危风雨摇摆的狮群，她单独杀死了一头年轻的长颈鹿！

Another member of the Charleston pride was killed this morning by the southern pride, the sub adult had an injured eye as a result of a previous fight with the larger pride and so was severly disadvantaged during the fight. Were Still looking for the remainder of the Charleston pride.
查尔妈妈战死20天后，今天查尔表姐也在与南部狮群的再次战斗中死亡，它的那只受伤的眼睛就是在20天前那场战斗中造成的！我们仍然在继续寻找查尔狮群余下的成员

Kirkman's Kamp retracted her death but say she's in very bad shape.
Feb 6 2012
from Kirkman's Kamp Private Game Reserve
Confusing reports came from Kirkman's regarding the young lioness. First report was the Southern Pride had killed her....then later they reported she was seriously injured. Her eye damage happened in the fight they had a week or so ago. This time she had bites to her back end.
The charleston pride was found this morning without the injured female,she was seen walking on her own yesterday after the attack which is promising although in a very bad way. The smallest cub has also not been seen in 5 days but with all the drama that has happened she maybe hidden away.
The southern pride left kirkmans shorlty only to return with the knp males. Another pride was seen at our ecologists house (eye field or skukuza?) So the charlestons are between two prides at the moment,hopefully they dont bump into each other tonight.
同一天2012年2月6日，Kirkman's营地撤回了有关查尔亚成年母狮的死讯，而是说她现在的状况很糟糕 。来自Kirkman关于年轻母狮的令人感到疑惑的报道。第一条消息是说南部狮群杀死了她，之后他们又说她是严重受伤。她的眼睛在一周以前的打斗中受伤了，这一次她被咬伤到了背部。 查尔斯顿失群今早上被发现了，但是没有看到受伤的亚成年母狮，她昨天被发现独自一人在行走，在受伤后虽然它的状况并不好，但是看起来似乎还是有希望的。最小的那只幼崽也已经有5天没有被看到了，它有可能是躲起来了。南部狮群短暂的离开 kirkmans后又和KNP雄狮一起回来了。另外一个狮群被发现在我们生态学家的房子旁（有可能是solo三人组或者skukuza）。因此查尔斯顿现在游走于两个狮群中间，希望他们今晚不要相遇！

查尔斯顿幼崽们今早上捕猎到它们生平里的第一只猎物，一只年轻的条纹羚，幼崽们还不到一岁，真是令人惊奇，非常有趣的是一只生病的南部狮群的母狮被看到一直跟随者存活下来的查尔斯顿狮群！

2011年11月27日，查尔阿姨与查尔兄弟到小水坑前喝水，它们几个幼崽就在喝水的时候也不会停止它们之间的游戏，图片中最后的那头幼崽体型明显要比查尔兄弟小，应该不是它们一起出生的妹妹，应该是狮群9,10月新出生的小幼崽，这个时候查尔阿姨的妈妈已经在11月最近一次与南部狮群的冲突中离世！

From Paul Rocky Bester ~ Kirkman's Kamp
charlstons lost another member to the southerns last night. lioness got beaten badly, and had her back broken. southern pride were very vocal last night, and this morning were spread all over the reserve. no sign of any charlston members. this could be the last of the charlstons, with no males for backing. sad times..
Paul Rocky Bester it was the lioness with the 7 month old cubs, so as it stands now, only one lioness stands with a sub-adult who is still not hunting.
Paul Rocky Bester 14 yr old lioness died in november by southerns . they were over thrown, while on a giraffe kill. lioness was never seen again.
Linda Pettit .......Charlestons were down to only 3 lionesses (after the 14 yr old lioness died recently ) - the young 2 year old female - the two older females have the cubs. These two prides had a fight on 2 Jan 2012 as well but all came out ok. obviously not this time....
****
so as it stands now, only one lioness stands with a sub-adult who is still not hunting
waiting on word of remaining 7 month old cubs
1月16日，查尔斯顿狮群在昨晚上又失去了一名成员，再次与南部狮群的打斗中，查尔妈妈的后背受伤了，她遭到了南部狮群严重的击打，昨晚上南部狮群奏起了响亮的胜利号角。今天早上我们没有发现任何查尔斯顿失群的踪迹，她是七个月大幼崽们的母亲（这个时候的查尔兄妹应该是9个月大了，也许是记录者的笔误写成7个月大了），因此目前的情况是这个狮群只剩下一头母狮和一头仍然不能打猎的亚成年。
去年十一月份另一头14岁的母狮也被南部狮群杀死了，母狮们再也没有被发现了。查尔斯顿狮群只剩下三头母狮了（在14岁的母狮死了以后）还剩下一只两岁的母狮，两只带着幼崽的母狮，这两个狮群在2012年1月2日进行了一场战斗，但是没有狮子受伤，因此很明显不是这一次！（我认为所指剩下的3头母狮里应该是包括了那头快两岁的亚成年母狮

charlston pride were found last night all 4 cubs counted for. as it stands now one lioness about 4 years old with a 4 month cub, 1 sub-adult with a blind eye, and three 7 month old cubs,( 2 males 1 female) . sub-adult still too young to hunt, so survival rests on the shoulders of only one lion.. tough times..
The prides survival now rests on the shoulders of one 4 yrs old lioness. How will she manage?
查尔斯顿失群昨晚被发现了四只幼崽都在。一只大概四岁的母狮（也就是查尔阿姨}和一只四个月大的幼崽，一个瞎了一只眼睛的亚成年（查尔表姐的一只眼睛应该也是在这场战斗中失明的），（同样的问题，这个时候的查尔兄妹应该是9个月大了）和三只七个月大的幼崽（2只雄的，一只母的）亚成年雌狮仍然太年轻还无法狩猎，因此生存的压力就全部落在了这头4岁查尔阿姨的肩上，，，这是一个极其艰难的时期
战斗结束后的第二天，南部狮群的16名成员正在 Kirkman's 营地寻找食物，似乎想扩大它们的领土。两个狮群一度非常接近，但查尔阿姨成功的带着所有的5个孤儿安全离开了这是非之地！

Kirkman's Kamp retracted her death but say she's in very bad shape.
Feb 6 2012
from Kirkman's Kamp Private Game Reserve
Confusing reports came from Kirkman's regarding the young lioness. First report was the Southern Pride had killed her....then later they reported she was seriously injured. Her eye damage happened in the fight they had a week or so ago. This time she had bites to her back end.
The charleston pride was found this morning without the injured female,she was seen walking on her own yesterday after the attack which is promising although in a very bad way. The smallest cub has also not been seen in 5 days but with all the drama that has happened she maybe hidden away.
The southern pride left kirkmans shorlty only to return with the knp males. Another pride was seen at our ecologists house (eye field or skukuza?) So the charlestons are between two prides at the moment,hopefully they dont bump into each other tonight.
同一天2012年2月6日，Kirkman's营地撤回了有关查尔亚成年母狮的死讯，而是说她现在的状况很糟糕 。来自Kirkman关于年轻母狮的令人感到疑惑的报道。第一条消息是说南部狮群杀死了她，之后他们又说她是严重受伤。她的眼睛在一周以前的打斗中受伤了，这一次她被咬伤到了背部。 查尔斯顿失群今早上被发现了，但是没有看到受伤的亚成年母狮，她昨天被发现独自一人在行走，在受伤后虽然它的状况并不好，但是看起来似乎还是有希望的。最小的那只幼崽也已经有5天没有被看到了，它有可能是躲起来了。南部狮群短暂的离开 kirkmans后又和KNP雄狮一起回来了。另外一个狮群被发现在我们生态学家的房子旁（有可能是solo三人组或者skukuza）。因此查尔斯顿现在游走于两个狮群中间，希望他们今晚不要相遇！

Brandon was out this morning clearing some roads with Raymond. There after some of the rangers decided to go for a drive around to see what was out there. Their comments.... " Awesome morning drive! Definitely a lion day starting with the Southern pride that had killed a wildebeest but were chased off by the KNP males. The Charlston pride female and 3 cubs were found off Skukuza road with the Hilda’s rock pride just down the road. 4 males of the Sand river pride were also found chasing buffalo on the Sand river. A young male leopard was found hunting but was lost in dense bush. Various rhino and elephant sightings were dotted all over the property. Puza manzi hyena clan were found playing in a pool in the melechuaan river bed." Unfortunately it was a working drive so no cameras were taken.

to Linda Petit .., there have been amazing changes happening to the pride lately. After the Southern Pride killed 2 of the 3 Charleston lions the injured female has been hanging around with the remaining Charleston female. It will be interesting to see whether she will be accepted into the pride... There is also some MAJOR news for the Southern Pride as one of the females is pregnant and is scouting out potential Den sites on Sabi Sabi. This could again change the dynamics of the pride and may cause a split to occur...we will just have to wait and see!

Three Lion Prides in a day
The first lion pride to be located was the Charleston Pride. The lone lioness and three cubs were located in the eastern sector of the property, relaxing in the shade of a Tamboti thicket. A few minutes later, one of the Rangers located the eight females and ten cubs of the Southern Pride in the western sector of the property, relaxing in the Mlechuaan River in the shade of a large Acacia Tree. To top off the drive, the Hilda’s Rock Pride was later found on the banks of the Sabie River, where the four females and three males were relaxing along the water’s edge.
All the vehicles out on game drive had an incredible sighting of one or other of these lion prides, photographs a constant reminder of these incredible encounters. An impressive way to end off another week at Lion Sands. For more interesting sightings and updates visit the Lion Sands Private Game Reserves Facebook Group.
今天阿姨带着3只一岁一个月的查尔兄妹在Lion Sands营地的东部的灌木丛中放松的休息，同时在这个营地的西部看到了8只南部狮群的母狮带着10只小狮子在一颗大树的树荫下，而就在 Sabie河对岸也发现了Hilda’s Rock 的4只成年母狮与三头雄狮。

Assistant Head Guide, Landon Eades : This morning we had an amazing sighting of a young male lion trying to get to an impala kill that a leopard had hoisted. Lions are not as good as leopards are when it comes to climbing and maneuvering around trees. The leopard kill was hoisted right in the canopy of the tree on branches that were just out of reach from the lion. Reluctantly, the lion eventually gave up and made his way down...nose first!!!!!

Field Ranger Brandon Birch : Yesterday I was sitting with the charlston pride who were staring longingly at a giraffe. They didn’t notice the small herd of about 10 male buffalo approaching them until they were about 40 metres away. Expecting the small pride to turn and flee when they picked up on the presence of the buffalo, I was rather surprised as the lions started stalking the buffalo. I was totally taken aback when the lioness broke cover and started chasing the herd who turned tail and ran!
1 lioness versus 10 bull buffalo? Opportunistic to say the least! She gave chase but half heartedly, rather testing to see if there were any sick or young with them. No such luck for the small pride though, but still a lovely sighting!
一天后阿姨带着3个小兄妹从马拉马拉高速转移到了南部的lion sands营地，并且正在全神贯注的盯着不远处的长颈鹿，但它们没有注意到大约10雄性水牛正在接近它们，直到它们之间大约只有40米开外才反应到这个情况，我们希望这个小狮群立刻离开这个危险的牛群，但惊讶的发现它们却开始打牛群的主意。阿姨开始追逐牛群，虽然没有成功，但对于这样的一个小狮群来说，这仍然是美妙的一幕！

To top off the drive, the Hilda’s Rock Pride was later found on the banks of the Sabie River, where the four females and three males were relaxing along the water’s edge.
All the vehicles out on game drive had an incredible sighting of one or other of these lion prides, photographs a constant reminder of these incredible encounters. An impressive way to end off another week at Lion Sands. For more interesting sightings and updates visit the Lion Sands Private Game Reserves Facebook Group.
今天阿姨带着3只一岁一个月的查尔兄妹在Lion Sands营地的东部的灌木丛中放松的休息，同时在这个营地的西部看到了8只南部狮群的母狮带着10只小狮子在一颗大树的树荫下，而就在 Sabie河对岸也发现了Hilda’s Rock 的4只成年母狮与三头雄狮。

Lion Sands Game Reserve
Assistant Head Guide, Landon Eades : This morning we had an amazing sighting of a young male lion trying to get to an impala kill that a leopard had hoisted. Lions are not as good as leopards are when it comes to climbing and maneuvering around trees. The leopard kill was hoisted right in the canopy of the tree on branches that were just out of reach from the lion. Reluctantly, the lion eventually gave up and made his way down...nose first!!!!!
一岁两个月的大鼻头试图爬上树盗取花豹杀死后吊在树干上的黑斑羚尸体。勇气可嘉，但能力有限，最终它很不情愿的放弃了！

Assistant Head Guide, Landon Eades : 19th June - this morning we stopped for drinks on the banks of the Sand River...the scenery here is spectacular and there is always something of interest to see. In the distance we could hear a bushbuck alarming, a clear indication that a predator may be nearby. A few minutes later they appeared...the Charleston Pride crossing the river in full view for all to see. What an amazing sight!!!
伴随着羚羊群骚动的声音，查尔狮群的4名成员出现了！

Field Ranger Brandon Birch : Yesterday I was sitting with the charlston pride who were staring longingly at a giraffe. They didn’t notice the small herd of about 10 male buffalo approaching them until they were about 40 metres away. Expecting the small pride to turn and flee when they picked up on the presence of the buffalo, I was rather surprised as the lions started stalking the buffalo. I was totally taken aback when the lioness broke cover and started chasing the herd who turned tail and ran!
1 lioness versus 10 bull buffalo? Opportunistic to say the least! She gave chase but half heartedly, rather testing to see if there were any sick or young with them. No such luck for the small pride though, but still a lovely sighting!
一天后阿姨带着3个小兄妹从马拉马拉高速转移到了南部的lion sands营地，并且正在全神贯注的盯着不远处的长颈鹿，但它们没有注意到大约10雄性水牛正在接近它们，直到它们之间大约只有40米开外才反应到这个情况，我们希望这个小狮群立刻离开这个危险的牛群，但惊讶的发现它们却开始打牛群的主意。阿姨开始追逐牛群，虽然没有成功，但对于这样的一个小狮群来说，这仍然是美妙的一幕！

Field Ranger Jono Harper : The Charlston young male early a few days ago. I watched the three emerging cubs participate in a hunt on the open ares formaly known as the Toulon golf course.
This was the first time I have seen the cubs on the hunt, the adult started to stalk two Zebra for ten minutes or so and then as lions tend to do the cubs started to flank around the zebra with intent on chasing them into the adult. Unfortunatly thier little experience in the hunting department gave their precence away and the zebra shot away with a dust cloud behind them.

We had a few really nice sightings of the Charleston pride. On the first day of the month we watched the lions trailing after a large herd of buffalo at Sibuye Drive. For these lions to execute a buffalo kill from a herd such as this would be a tremendous feat, considering that there is only one lioness that is mature enough and has the power and skill necessary for the task. It usually takes a few fully grown lionesses to bring down a buffalo, and even then there are no guarantees. Even with the odds stacked against them, the four lions were not short of courage as they ran among the buffalo and attempted to pick out an ‘easy’ target. This action carried on well into the night and judging by clues from the scene on the next day, it is safe to say that the buffalo won this particular battle. Three days later the Charleston Pride showed themselves again. This time they were much further south, close to the Flat Rocks. We became really excited when they spotted a young giraffe and began to actively stalk it, closing in on the giraffe. When they were just about in position, the giraffe managed to gallop away and the lions missed another opportunity. The three sub-adults are around fifteen months old now, and should be able to start contributing more significantly towards hunts. Interestingly, these sub-adults look just as developed, if not more so, as the young lions from the Styx pride that are a few months older. This may be due to the fact that they have no choice but to participate in hunts to assist their surrogate mother.查尔狮群正在追捕水牛，这是一个艰巨的任务，因为它们当中只有阿姨是成年狮子，并且只有她具备成熟的捕猎技巧与能力。通常围捕一头成年水牛需要几只成年的狮子合力完成，而且未必可以做到。即便如此，查尔狮群的4只狮子仍然不缺乏勇气。这次的围捕进行到了晚上，第二天我们看到水牛赢得了这场战斗的胜利。3天后查尔狮群再次出现，它们发现了一直年轻的长颈鹿。查尔兄妹大约15个月大了，它们已经能够在阿姨捕猎的时候给予更多的帮助，冥河狮群的亚成年比它们兄妹年长几个月，但它们看起来有一样大的体型，可能由于这是查尔兄妹不得不帮助这位代理母亲长期捕猎的缘故！

The bush is already looking sparkly and new, as the layer of dust covering everything dissipates. This morning saw the two Eyrefield males roaming the open areas near Skukuza airport, as well as lots of zebra and rain soaked impala looking very sorry for themselves! The Charlston pride were on a bull kudu kill yesterday evening in the Sand River, with the son of the Rollercoaster leopard hunting bushbuck in the reeds next to the giant sycamore fig, and the Schotia female lounging in a Jackalberry tree next to the Msutu river all day along...

CHARLESTON PRIDE = 3
1 ADULT FEMALE 7 YEARS 8 MONTHS
2 SUB ADULTS 1 YEAR 4 MONTHS
SOUTHERN CHARLESTON
(3 sightings)
The Charleston Pride enjoyed a relatively good month of sightings. Throughout the winter, they have been spending more time to the north of the Sand River. It is likely that we would enjoy even more sightings of them, although their domain is in an area not often travelled. This pride has been devastated by bad luck in recent times, and this month was no different. The sub adult female has been missing since around the 16th of
August and is now presumed dead. It is believed that the pride had a confrontation with the Selati Pride and the young female was on the wrong end of the battle. This is a terrible blow to the pride whose numbers were already depleted. At least the adult female is an experienced hunter and assistance from the young males is mounting daily as they mature. As with last month, these lions were seen on occasion trailing the large herd of
buffalo which has been passing through that area. Although the lions made a few attempts, the sub adults will need to gain more experience before they will be able to execute a kill of this nature.

Update from Kirkman's Kamp
The charlestons are alive and well and on kirkmans, the southern pride has crossed south through tinga, and apparently have been seen going towards Phabeni gate in the knp. The female lioness has led the Eyerfield males away from the Knp male, but he is still trailing them as we speak..
查尔狮群仍然活着，并且过得很好。将近两岁的查尔兄弟的体型已经和阿姨相差无几了
