RE: Lions of Timbavati - RookiePundit - 11-09-2022
As for whether other species of cats are yet to undergo a behavioral change towards making coalitions, I would say we should not overlook not other more basic reasons why they live more solitary live - availability of food sources. African plains with plentiful ungulates (still) can sustain bigger groups of predators, no matter how seasonal and unconsistent that source might be. Other cat species living in different enviroments might not have the same density of food available (ignoring the habitat loss and human proximity capable of having an impact), I would say a jungle or nothern forest can't sustain the same density of large herbivores (interesting point brings the articificial existence of liger in captivity, which suggest that lioness posses a growth inhibitor that limits the size they can reach, I guess them being as big as males would be detrimental nutrition demand wise in a group environment, regardless of social dynamics impact).
Plus lions face a tough competition in the form of clans of hyenas that might become serious threat when outnumbering lone individuals or groups too small. Unlike cheetahs or leopards with their adaptation, lions as apex predators mostly compete through power and strenght. Dholes or wolves elsewhere are hardly comparable.

Three of Black Dam males attack their fourth brother, thinking he is the intruder male “Guernsey male”. They find out later he is their fourth brother so the fight ends and they begin to roar.

Vuyela male at Baobab Ridge with one of the Sark breakaway females, in this case one of the two younger ladies; a very good looking lioness.

The Giraffe pride and the Sumatra male seen at Umlani Bushcamp. With 24 members within the Giraffe pride, they're a force to be reckoned with in the Timbavati.

Another interesting morning here at Kings Camp in the central Timbavati as the 2 Birmingham breakaway males who were absent at last weeks buffalo kill (infront of kings camp) showed up where we had last seen their 4 brother and were trailing a group of buffalo bulls. I watched them and stayed with them for 4 hours as they stalked and attempted hunting the group whilst they moved south into the Mayambula territory. Tracks for the 2 skorro males were seen not far from their location.

He looks bit like Kambula 5, especially on the first picture.

Is the young Western pride male still alive? Skorokoro was attacking him in the past.
