Some of the sibling groups that have pics in the Cheetah ID topic include:

Kij Kij June Mates (2 males)

Muskateers (4 males)

Rooiputs February Males (2 males)

Sprinters (2 males)

etc. etc.....

We Kalahari addicts can certainly post PLENTY of them, just not sure exactly what is wanted here.

I presume this is a sibling group.

An easy one...female with cubs.

These are male coalitions, not sib groups.

Coalitions are groups of males.

Siblings groups are (non permanent) gropus of adolescent littermates made up of males and females together or females only. The mother leaves the cubs, who then form a sibling, or “sib” group, that will stay together for some months and improve hunting skills. At about two years, the female siblings leave the group and start adult life (breeding), and the young males remain together for life.

Brothers?

At what age does the fluff come off?

Flutterby's "brothers" still have a bit of the juvenile mane, so they are a sib group or a coaltition of youngsters.


As for the "sib group": are they all the same size, or is one larger? Is there any fluff left (difficult to see frontal)?

Here's a side view of three of the siblings. I seem to remember they were all the same size.

, one can see that the one on the right is a male

the one in the middle looks like a female

[Flutterby]

I was wondering if that was 'evidence' of a male on the right.
