They are dominant in Singita for ~ half a year now, and have 2 Nkuhuma breakaway's and cubs.

They are definitely here to stay, so thread soon might be a good idea, as we have about every coalition in Sabi Sands.

Last reports suggest that coalition is down to two or even one lion. So its not a good fit and other than that there really isnt any other reason to assume its them. Its not rare to have a coalition of such composition.

We must beware of paradoxes, smile ...
Here it is a question of the genetic transmission by the maternal lineage, but only from the point of view of the presumed paternal inheritance, the whole, in the will to put in perspective the importance of the maternal line in the perpetuation of the genetic inheritance ...
After a good start, we come to the opposite conclusion, the strength of Bibi's father's blood line, of what what was supposed to be demonstrated.
It's a bit like the dog biting its tail.
I understand, of course, what you meant, but I wanted to point out, that it is difficult not to give in to certain reflexes.

It is difficult to determine the main generator in a bloodline, or to attribute such or such apparently hereditary characteristic to the maternal or paternal line with certainty. This is all the less so as the monitoring of populations is not absolutely possible.
We then tend to focus on physical appearances, which very often, when they are really detectable and distinctive, seem to emerge from the paternal genetic heritage, according to the latest studies in the field (to be taken with a grain of salt, both scientific advances tend to contradict each other as they evolve).
Our considerations in this regard can therefore only be subject to caution and necessarily arbitrary.
