RE: Lions of Timbavati - adamstocks16 - 06-29-2024
Yeah it seems Mapoza has a good bond with his sons, reminds me of the situation with Mohawk and a similar scenario may end up playing out. Did it mention if the young Birmingham male was present at the time as he and the Avoca boy have been hanging together recently.

Good to hear that Mapoza is spending a lot of time with his sons, he will eventually lose the pride and can lean on that strong bond to occupy somewhere else with his sons.
Hope Avoca got away without serious injuries from his father and cousins.
How many Monwana young males? Looks like 5 or 6 on the video if im not mistaken.
When are these guys born in 2020 exactly? They look good.
I believe they were born in 2020, heard there’s 3 older brothers and 2 younger ones.
Didn’t look like a serious beating, they just slapped him around a bit and allowed him to run off.

Think the BB and Avoca male split just as quick as they joined together, atleast for now. The BB was following a buffalo herd that 3 BDMs were also said to be following just the other day.

Those young Monwanas look big, powerhouses in the making.

Birmingham boy was seen in the same area with BBreakaway female recently.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mapokser - 06-29-2024
Scar Mbiri with some Birmingham females and cubs, he is in great conditions. Guide gets a bit too excited saying "watch the size of this one, the size of a car."
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mapokser - 06-29-2024
Scar Mbiri with cubs at Ngala, thanks @Ngonya for sending me this:

But he is also similar to Tyson Ross male, so who knows.
My 1st thought was he resemble Tyson but thats before I read Avoca-Giraffe males were still domonant at that time.

That guy with that name isn't a guide tho, just a fan.

He isn’t a guide. Just a follower of lions

The boys are looking in top shape, a force to be reckoned with without a doubt!

Tanda Tula update
The lions enjoyed a good week of life at the top of the food chain, and we saw them with a few kills this week. The River Pride made a reappearance, but it was not a long-lived one. The pride were found feeding on an impala towards the end of the week, at the same time that one of the Vuyela males spent two days feeding on a large zebra carcass. Fourteen members of the Sark Breakaway Pride (including two cubs) were found feasting on a zebra in the eastern part of their territory (and the central part of our concession) which left the pride pleasingly accessible to us for most of the week. The pride then spenta couple of days trying their luck with a large herd of buffalo around the two most central waterholes, but they didn’t even seem to get close to coming right. Later in the week the cubs were found on Nkhari, and we enjoyed a couple of magical drives of not just the three cubs we showed off last month, but also their three newest members! With these additional cubs, the pride now sits at 18 members strong, plus the five pride males – the real makings of another super pride. The Mayambula pride were not present this week, although we did find a single young male walking around close to the buffalo herd one morning – I suspect he was more concerned about getting away from the Vuyela males than he was about hunting buffalo. The Vuyela males showed themselves a few more times, and we even got to hear the odd, distant roar coming from these impressive boys, but with their interests drawn to the Mayambula Pride once again this week, we sadly didn’t spend as much time in their company as we would have liked. A small portion of the Giraffe Pride were seen once during the week, otherwise their presence continued to be erratic, to say the least.
