Do you think guys Nguvu could be the father of newest litter of Mhangeni? I think (maybe exept Nhehna) BBoys totally stick to Kambula pride when Nguvu is with Mhungeni females ever since he was forced to leave Ottawa pride. Ever since BBoys dominated Kambulas I didn't see any raports of interaction between BBoys and Mhungenis at all. Did I miss somethink?

RE: Majingilane Sons - Potato - 11-24-2018

Yes. Older famales of Othawa pride (including his mother) were sired by Mapogos.

Younger cubs are atleast 2 month old + gestation period of 3.5 months... 
Totally 5.5 months...
Then it is BBoys

Can anyone guess as to why the Tsalala males still havent taken over a pride yet?

I don't think they got the chance to dominate a pride and in any event they were too young and in-experienced to hold on to one. In their most recent altercation they were chased out by the two Avocas in the south. That was six months ago and I think now they can mount a serious challenge. They still don't stand a chance against B-Boys or even the Charleston's but may be they can challenge an older or smaller coalition. I do hope that for the sake of genetic diversity they stay out of SS.

I honestly didnt even take into account genetic diversity ... but I guess it might be best for them to move out a little ... they seem to be successful hunters / scavengers so I dont think they will have a problem finding food and gaining more size to push around ... I think they get stressed out with all the traveling they do ... hopefully they will settle down in a place with a pride or two where we can occasionally get some photos of them.

Given the geography of this particular section (or of any cul-de-sac) there is a strong possibility of a genetic bottle neck or sub-prime situations developing. Right now we have very old males in Matimbas and before that the Majings in the West who have a hard time hunting and end up taking resources away from cubs and the pride. I saw some reports of the older Othawa cubs dying from starvation. On the other hand, we have a very young and immature male in Othawa who won't be able to protect the cubs should any threat materialize. I am not sure how common this is/was but this looks untenable in the long run. It would probably be better if a new and unrelated coalition made it's way to the West though geography makes that hard.
