The Cat Report: 28 April - 4 May Posted on May 5, 2018
"In the world of the Sabi Sand lions, the first salvo of the battle between the Avocas and the Birminghams was fired by the three youngsters this week. On Sunday, they did something magical. Something which reminds me why this cat features in legend from cultures all over the world. It began slowly at first like one of them is coughing up a fly he’s inhaled. But then it exploded. The Avoca males announced their intentions in spectacular way. ROAR-we are here to stay ROAR this is our land now. ROAR-if you Birminghams want it back, then you’ll have to come and fight us for it
Two of the Birmingham Boys, Tinyo and Nsuku, duly appeared a few days later. On Thursday it was clear they’d been in a scrap, Nsuku limping and sporting boxer’s closed left eye. A fight with the Avocas? We don’t know. But we do know that the coming war of nature and legend’s most revered species will keep us on the edge of our seats. We think that Mfumu and Nhena are still down south on the Sand River establishing their reign there and it looks like the Birmingham Coalition may well have spread themselves too thin over the Sabi Sands and perhaps they are not long for the northern reaches."
