Who are the dominant males?

In all videos I've seen they call the current dominant males as the Pridelands males. I know a few years back the dominant males were the Masungulo that killed Lagertha's mother.

Can't say for 100% certainty if they're under the 4 BDM's currently, but they've been mating with them as of late. I suppose they will be (if not already) in the near future.

Yea i also heard they are mating with them.

I hope Guernsey male leave this area, living in the territory of 4 males wont end well, he lost partner to them and he few times had close calls.

Leaving this area would open new opportunities of finding coalition partners, like Skorro Orpen, Giraffe/Monwana (who he knows) or young Avoca, who all roam around.

Even Sark breakaway is not too far, and he also is massive beast.


RE: Lions of Timbavati - Potato - 04-17-2023

Avoca females mated with many differnet males through the past year and it doesn't look like they are settled with Black Dam males or any other males.

Quite tiny he looked in comparison with Monwana male (Trilogy son). Also young Avoca male is matching him in size so I think this male should be below avarage to avarage max in comparison with other males around.


RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 04-17-2023

Avoca females are heavily pregnant. Xikukutsu males are again on Sandringham. 

Map will be posted today. Some prides weren't added because they shifted their territory into Kruger

I was talking about Sark Breakaway male there.

Timbavati map as of April 2023. (Next map will be posted next month)
Birmingham prides not were added in the map because they've shifted their territory into Kruger and only often are sighted in the Timbavati. Mongawane males weren't seen in a long time in the area, last sighting was in Kruger. Avoca pride shifted their territory into Southern parts of Thornybush, they were seen at Shindzela a few days ago after of a long time. The seven Birmingham breakaway young males are nomadic and traverse the whole reserve. Same goes for the the white Birmingham young male and his brothers, they're back and forth from Timbavati to Kruger, they haven't an specific territory so far, thus i decided don't add them here. Same for Ross males.

Sincerely do appreciate the map! I'm not very familiar with the Timbavati area so this helps a lot!

Thank you for this awesome map! Much appreciado!!!


RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 04-17-2023

Thank you everyone for the kind words. In the next map, we will try to add some other Lion coalitions once their territories are specifics and not nomadic males due the fact they tend to traverse the whole reserve and even went into nearby areas
