P-33 (female). P-33 (female). Though she is not wearing a GPS collar in this photo, she was captured in mid-February and outfitted with a special collar for sub-adult lions, which has an automatic drop-off mechanism as the cat grows larger. For some time, our biologists thought that P-33 may not have survived since she was not seen in some of the remote camera photos we picked up of her mom and other siblings. Maybe she was just camera shy, because here she is at age 15 months looking healthy and strong.
