In a fascinating turn of events the Windmill pride has returned to MalaMala with what appears an intent to stay. They have been frequenting the eastern Flockfield region, however have been very mobile searching out areas both north into the territory of the Styx and Eyrefield prides and south into Charleston, typical Charleston pride territory. This pushing of the lion territories is bound to result in some spirited encounters between rival prides in the near future. These lions have been hardened by years surviving in the KNP and are slightly thin but in remarkably good condition. The cubs all appear to be around the one-year mark and are looking to become very successful lions in their own right.
