RE: Avoca male lions - Mapokser - 02-14-2023
Based on their ages it's surprising that Mohawk ended up with Blondie and DM instead of his southern brothers.

Is there any proof that Mohawk is actually older then Blondie and DM and at the same age as the S. Avocas?

So based on this, It looks like Mohawk is indeed older than dark mane and Blondie. And dark mane really did have a close littermate/ sister! I hope she’s still with the pride.
In first pic, Mohawk and Southern avocas are of same age.
But in second last pic, DM/ Blondie are younger to southern avocas.

For some reason I cannot see the photos

RE: Avoca male lions - WildLeonis - 02-17-2023
@SMK350 Thanks so much for posting pics of the Avocas when they were cubs. It’s interesting that Mohawk ended up with DM/Blondie even though he seemed to be the same age as the S.Avocas. Wonder what happened to cause him to get left behind. Also it’s interesting that based on these pics it’s been concluded that Mohawk is older than DM/Blondie. When they first arrived in the SS the guides assumed DM was older because he was much bigger than the other two and of course was already displaying a dark mane. But that could’ve been all genetics rather than age.
Regarding the S.Avocas the latest pictures we’ve seen has been that of one and not the other, they appear to be separated. Perhaps one is out of camera shot which is giving that impression? They’ve always seemed to be inseparable. Hope their coalition is still strong.
RE: Avoca male lions - SMK350 - 02-17-2023
You’re welcome. I was glad to find that too since a lot of “cub” photos I’ve seen of the Avocas in the past was sadly not actually them.
Here are the two Southern Avocas seen recently:

I hope Mohawk does not oust the subadults, it could be safer for all of them.

The boy to the right before the camera starts panning left looks exactly like Blondie. Lol. Glad to see Mohawk with the four boys.
