One of the last known pictures taken prior the collaring of one of Cecil’s Queens, thereafter named Nobhuhle meaning Beautiful in the Ndebele language.

The fitment of the satellite collar has been a necessary measure for the purpose of research so as to know the exact location of the pride at all times, which has been done by researcher Brent Stapelkamp of WILDCRU as he monitors the Lion populations throughout Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Six cubs and two Lioness remain forming the nucleas of what are commonly known as Cecil’s pride. Although still on the run at age 11 months the six cubs of Cecil’s pride are still in fantastic health.
