Yep. In another video, the ranger explained that probably because Lagertha was alone for long time she may sometimes want to be alone.

MAPOZA
The legendary Mapoza male is still reigning successful in Thornybush. 3 powerful coalitions are threatening Mapoza, but the king is still roaring and ruling. The 6 Birmingam Boys, Hercules&Sumatra and 4 Black Dam Boys are all trying to take over Monwana pride. Somehow Mapoza has managed to keep his crown and protect his family. Mapoza's 5 sons are taking their first lessons in hunting, it's just a matter of months, before they are forced to leave the pride. Mapoza has done an exceptional job and left a huge trace behind. Yet his ambition just keeps getting bigger. There are 7 new cubs in the pride and more pregnant lionesses. The game starts again and the king is always one move ahead

Can Mapoza form a coalition with his sons?
Now the area seems to have a lot of lions...
I saw the post below on Facebook.

There are inconsistencies with the information in that Facebook post.
I am NOT AWARE the Birmingham Breakaways have really been seen pressuring Mapoza at all.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Potato - 03-10-2023
Yup noone is currently really pressuring Mapoza male. In fact he is just a loner so when one of the mentioned coalitions will decide to make move on to Mapoza's territory, it will be very short competition and Mapoza will be easly driven out.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 03-11-2023
As Potato mentioned, Actually, Mapoza male isn't getting pressure from any coalition nearby. Black dam males could have been a problem for him. But they're not being, so far...
RE: Lions of Timbavati - veritas - 03-11-2023
Oh, thank you, my friends, I'm glad the Marpoza is safe, I hope the old warrior stays healthy for a long time.
Surely FB sometimes confuses me.

@Timbavati @Like potato @criollo2mil
Just a few guys from FB are knowledgeable about the lions in the different areas. Like Aruna, our WildFact member, @"Brahimlegend" among others.

Question... Dreadlocks De Laporte and the 6 Nkulu males, are they in this region?
Thank you Tr1x24. I will move my questions to the Kruger post.

They where never at Timbavati, they are around Skukuza.

The two Older Kudyela males, it looks like they abandoned the small Singwe Pride and went across the river, seems they've now outsted their remaining father

Tanda Tula update
As for the Giraffe Pride, they too were quite cooperative this week. After starting the week on the plains the pride crossed into the Klaserie – a rare voyage for them, but they didn’t get more than 100m in and we could see them from the boundary. It was that evening that they returned and killed the wild dog. The next day we found three of the young pride males in the same area, and a day later we picked up on them still looking for the pride. By the end of the week, all 25 members were back together and spent another two days on the plains. Although we didn’t see them on any kills, for three days in a row we could see that they had eaten. The males put on a great roaring display for us one evening, and it was encouraging to see that even in his poor condition, the Sumatra male is not scared to proclaim his dominance.
The week ended with one of the young males having once more gotten separated from the pride. The Sark Breakaway Pride also made a welcome return to the west this week and three members were seen feeding on a waterbuck one evening. The next day all four lionesses, the five subadults and two of the Vuyela males were together in our western sections. We saw these two Vuyela males one morning marching down our access road causing quite a traffic jam; we opted not to spend time there and got to see two other Vuyela males in the east on our journey there in search of cheetahs. These same two males had been spending a great deal of time with the three River Pride members. It seems as though these girls are bringing these males back into the area that they used to use as their territory when they were with the Nharhu males. This push from the River Pride and the roars of the Vuyela males are keeping the Mayambula Pride in the southern reaches of their territory, and generally just beyond our concession. It will be interesting to see how these dynamics unfold over the coming months.
