To me, the dominant male is #1, Nsuku. He's older, and I've never seen him displaced by his brothers in any sense.

The the second is between #2 Nenha and #3 Tinyo, but what is sure is that #4 Mfumo is at the bottom of the hierarchy. Maybe now that thye have more land he isn't bullied as much as before, but I don't think he's more dominant than any of the other.

Over at FB people say that Mfumo's dominant because they like him and prefer him, so it clouds their judgement.

I think nsuku is without a doubt still the dominant male the rest is up for grabs maybe nhenha is the second most dominant male but since he is more often than not separated from the rest it's hard to tell where he lies within the coalition.

Between Mfumo and Tynio they used to fight quite a lot but that hasn't happened for more than a year as far as we know, that probably means they have settled who is the more dominant of the two or there is just no need to fight because  they almost have one pride for each member specially now that nhenha is pushing into Londolozi and mating with one of the Tsalala's lioness and all the mating and interactions they've been having with the Kambula lionesses, they currently have three prides.

Nsuku normaly stays with the Styx pride, Tynio and Mfumo take turns between the Nkuhumas and Torchwood pride and Nhenha is trying to find a pride for his "own".

Unfortunately there is no real way to know for certain unless we see them at a kill or fighting for mating rights and the second option is not very likely. Reply
