Xikukutsus were born in early december 2015. They were the only litter of cubs in that pride in that time so we can be sure what it comes to that date and the lion's pregnancy least 100 days so they were sired around September 2015.

Also i found this images of Avoca pride by Makany Lodge around that time:

December 2015

So those subadults are still N. Avocas and their litter? 

Theres no sign of new cubs tho.. 

Also it seems that as you said, neither of those coalitions where dominant over Avocas, only prob mating with them occasionaly.. 

But yea, it seems that Xikukutsus are most likely sired by Ross males.. Reply
