Recently we shared a sighting of a lioness of the Birmingham pride that appeared badly injured. Ngala Private Game Reserve have been keeping en eye on her and have given a positive update on her wellbeing!
“From recent sightings of the Birmingham Pride, we suspect the adult white lioness was badly injured by a buffalo during a hunt. The wound is very large, extending from her upper chest down and under her front leg.
This pride has been earmarked for regular TB testing, and so SANparks section rangers and the &Beyond Ngala Conservation team decided to dart the lioness in order to test for TB, and use the opportunity to tend to her wounds.
After this, we kept a close eye on her progress. She was given a 10% chance of survival based on the severity (the cut just missed a vital artery, so she was very lucky to survive at all). Despite this, she has since been sticking closely with most of the pride, who has been hunting successfully. The pride has fragmented after a coalition of 5 male lions has been roaming the property, but for now she continues to gain strength and is managing to keep up with most of the members. Regular monitoring of this pride by SANparks and &Beyond Ngala Conservation teams will continue.”
