RE: Avoca male lions - Blondemane - 04-01-2020
"Up there with some of the best lion sightings ever ?
The cubs of the Sand River Pride unwittingly caused a bit of mayhem.
After attempting to nurse from their mother, they decided to go and bother one of the Avoca male lions.
As the lioness sees her cubs getting a little too close, she reacts which causes the Avoca male to begin roaring and leaves the cubs confused as to what they did wrong."
RE: Avoca male lions - sundarbans - 04-01-2020
The Southern Avocas have been around as pride males for almost 2 years now but I usually find there isn't much information about them compared to their brothers the Northern Avocas. Do they two have any names or differentiating characteristics? What's the dynamic between them? And how many cubs have they sired with which prides?

Theres less info about them because apart from Kirkmans Kamp their territory is mostly in Kruger, while N. Avocas are in the area of Sabi Sands which is most covered with camps and logdes (djuma, arathusa, elephant plains, cheetah plains, chitwa chitwa, nkorho etc..) also with live broadcast such as SafariLive/Wild Earth so they are more exposed to people.
They dont have official names, but they where mostly differentiated as one had bigger mane, while other had smaller/mohawk type mane in their younger days, althrough today their manes are very similar.
Bigger maned :

Apart from mane, now is easier to recognize them by face structure, as the first male has very wide face and nose, while the male in the back is more similar to his northern brothers.
As for dynamics between them idk, but they are known as very agressive males in their nomadic days and prob still are, far more then their northen brothers.
As for cubs, atm they have 1 cub with sparta lioness and few with Sand River. Might have more prides in Kruger.
