From Birmingham pride, only 2 oldest females dont have new cubs (not sure why), and breakeaway also has 2nd generation of cubs with Ross males, dont know how many or who because theres very little info about that pride.

Coming back to the topic of Black Dam males: I know that with nomads you can not predict thinks untill they stricke a claim. Tomorrow they can just move off to totally different arena, but for now Ross males territory seems to be most likely option to try takeover for the BD males in my opinion because of mentioned in my previous comment reasons.

Except that you were wrong, the very reason the Nwaswitshaka pushed into Londolozi is because the Birmingham Males stopped having a presence on Londolozi. The recent storms and rain completely wiped their scent off the reserve causing the Nwaswitshaka to confidently push in. I also told you that territories aren't borders but presence and my point was proven. Because of Bboys lack of presence, the Nwaswitshaka thought they could push. I didn't see them pushing south into Bboys Mala Mala territory, did you? Only time will tell if their confidence will build and they'll push into east or south into Bboys Mala Mala territory or if the Bboys will eventually push back west. A Londolozi ranger told me that summer/autumn time, the Bboys spend less time in their western territory because the weather pushes the prey eastwards so who knows what will happen next. Trying to make me look wrong and you right does not work here. Sorry to tell you.

Btw, any info of remaining Monwana male?

None of the coalitions there has a permanent presence as they move in and out from the other reserves. 

Nor does it have a pride. So an already established coalition has little use for the territory permanently. 
But it is a good spot to wander around in as its proximity to three prides means there is a good chance of running into a willing lioness. 

This makes me feel the Nwas are not out to take anything over. If they were the most obvious target would be the Mhangeni. Most likely they were just feeling adventurous for mating opportunities without the long term responsibilities of a take over.

Though I just noticed this is about Timbavati? So perhaps we should leave this topic to the Sabi thread?
