Apparently, recently the Ross males chased one of them off. From what i've heard

Any word on if they might have caught Scar?

I saw scar on a separate post today with the Pride.   I suspect it’s all ok with both.   

The chase of Shaka was a few week back.   They ran him off a kill.

With the Machatons north across the river and the Masungulos still primarily south and east, the Kudyela males are coming into maturity and mating with the pride females

Very nice. 
Mapoza male seems to be very dominating. 
Young avoca male also look quite good.

The Mapoza male wasn't seen with the Avoca pride in ages. This is such a good sighting. Let's see what happens

Mapoza bloodline

RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 06-29-2022

Shot of Marvin the Monwana pride male in 2009 in Thornybush before he reached his prime. I'm posting this shot to show how similar Marvin looks to the two Monwana males fathered by the Blackdam male, one of whom is still alive. Marvin was one of Blackdam's older brothers, and must have been a hell of a fighter, he battled the Blackdam male and his partner the Timbavati male and initially held them off. Even when they eventually won, he hung in there and joined their coalition. Image by Tangala Safari Camp.

If Marvin is actually BDM’S older brother, this means that they were both sired by old Ross males? If thats the case then their bloodline is really strong, they are also fathers to Avoca/Giraffe males, Rockifig male, etc. There are 2 coalitions that go by the name old Ross, the other old Ross coalition sired the current Ross males
