The
Hoaruseb and Hoanib Floodplain groups
The genealogy of the original Huaruseb Pride (below) gives a schematic
overview of the composition and relatedness of the group. Xpl-10
(“Sarah” – named after the shopkeeper at Purros)
and her daughter (Xpl-25) moved to the Hoanib Floodplain towards
the end of 2006. Xpl-37 & 38 (Xpl-10's second litter) remained
in the Hoaruseb River and produced their first litters early in
2008. Initially the two sub-groups interacted occasionally, but
the frequency of these interactions decreased significantly towards
2008. The male (Xpl-44) joined the Hoaruseb lionesses in March 2007.
The two Hoaruseb lionesses (Xpl-37 and Xpl-38) gave birth to their first respective litters early in 2008. These lions are the focus of intensive research and monitoring, and the implementation of sustainable lion eco-tourism in the Kunene Region is based primarily on them. As a result, a large volume of information is available and it justifies the allocation of a separate web page to the Hoaruseb lions, and in particular to the development of the cubs. Regular updates, photos and video clips will be posted on this page.
