These boys are dropping buffaloes like crazy. They are getting bigger with each passing week.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mabingilane - 09-13-2022
Hard to tell if all 3 cubs are from both females?
Out of both females, One is a young mayambula female (Mbiri daughter) and the other i am unsure of.

Yup.
in response to a comment about them being a coalition
"Yes, I learnt this yesterday. He stood and watched them from the other side of a waterhole, then chased them south until he list them! Yesterday's relationship was not so great."

Personally I bet it is yet another case of miss ID.

Avoca lioness with male unknown to me (note: possibly Skorro young male son of Orpen males). Looking in good condition and sure of himself. They have been mating several times over a few days.

Interesting developpment, Skorro YM mating with Acovas. Although Avocas have no dominant male which means it is open for him to take over, he needs to be careful as he is still surrounded by bigger coalitions.

Maybe or maybe not.
Mapoza and Xikukutsu's are not exactly too close, and its more of a 2+1 coalition in a similar note as N. Avocas where, as Mapoza is with 1 pride and Xikukutsu's with another, they dont interact with each others prides.
Xikukutsu where never seen with Monwana pride and their cubs since those cubs are born (as far as i know), so Mapoza prob feels protective when Xikukutsu's come close, as they actually might harm those cubs.
We already discuss this, as i taught that Mapoza and Xikukutsu's where not seen together since they left for Sandrigham and Southern Thornybush, but somebody said and posted that they where seen together after (cant remember exact date, half a year ago or something like that), but still, they rarely hang together and they dont operate as 3, so bond between them is getting weaker, Mapoza prob doesnt want them near Monwana pride.

Xikukutsus are bigger, younger and are two while Mapoza is by himself so even if Mapoza would want to chasse Xikukutsus around I doubt he could. Moreover Xikukutsus are the dominant males on their own turf so rather they wouldn't be easly to intimidate unlike some young nomads which could act overcautious in such situations.
