Oops, they have already been done with the project for quite some time. I had chosen to believe that
Otto and his SO (forgot her name) would do a comprehensive and long stretched study like Gus Mills
with the cheetahs
Thanks for posting the article, Lis.
However, I now wonder if the bias of 56% male lions might not have even increased ever since the study ended.
Of the visible lions / cubs, it feels like there must be a huuuge gap between the amount of females and male,
in favour of the males.
Which in the end is no good for the gene pool, as we all know

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

I don't know about the numbers, only that there were lions all over the place in November and many single males lying around
