I know what u mean but they’re not 100% Matimba cause the Skorro Male mothers are not. JS. Lol.
I get it. So who are the fathers of the Skorro pride females that raised Skorro males? Old Birminghams?

RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 03-07-2022
What a morning we had here on Mjejane Game Reserve.
This morning game drive start with a call on the radio “there are 2 male lions chasing Mo close to Erf 5”! We immediately decided that we are going to follow up on the action.
The two male lions that were chasing “Mo” are the 2 Hippo Pool Males. They are a bit younger than Mo, but they have a numerical advantage. He, on the other hand knows the reserve very well and he has cubs that he needs to protect.
At the moment we can only speculate whats going to happen with Mo and the two Hippo Pool Males, but it looks like Mo knows he is outnumbered and it seems like he is using different tactics to try and keep the intruding males from finding his cubs and maybe to try and tire them out.
This morning he was seen running from the two hippo pool males, but he kept evading them and then making a loop around, sneeking up behind them, then turning around and moving in the opposite direction, marking his territory and roaring, as if to tell the intruding males, “come and catch me if you can”. I get the feeling he is trying to tire them out and he could also try te keep them away from where his cubs are hidden. We don’t know for sure and we will need to wait and see what happens over the next few days. By late this morning Mo disappeared into a block and the 2 Hippo Pool Males where still searching for him, but settled down under a bush. We will follow up on whats happening this afternoon and keep you updated.

Farewell Moria Madoda, The One Eyed King
We are saddened to report the death of the legend Moria Madoda, the one eyed icon. He was born in 2008, but started his independence at a very young age when he was four by fighting and taking half of his father's (Makulu Madoda) territory, driving him away so that he could be a dominant male and a father to many.
Moria continued as a successful dominant male, until his three sons (Hoedspruit males) grew up, and history repeated itself, the sons did to Moria as he did to his father. But Moria's sons didn't just take his Kingdom, they also took one of his eyes. He was able to survive the battle and managed in one way or another to seize two lionesses from his old pride and retreat to the South of the reserve, and there was peace for a long time. Moria and his lioness were hard to track as they kept a low profile. Moria always looked like a prime lion even at 13/14 years old. He was a huge lion with a perfect black big mane, anyone who saw him was amazed. But after many years together with his two loyal lioness, one of the lioness died recently, leaving only one lioness remaining with the legend until his last days.
We were saddened to hear about his health deteriorating lately, we have been following him for many years and are always keen to know anything new about him, but lately due to his health he was barely seen. He died of natural causes. He was 14+ plus years old. He was a widely known king. He lived and died as a true legend, spreading his wonderful lineage that possessed a black mane and amazing size. Rest in peace, legend, legends never die.

Is it possible they got into an altercation and Mo somehow managed to injure one of them? I know he has numbers disadvantage but Hippo Pools males are young and inexperienced.

Yesterday a chase was reported between both so it is a little likely that this has happened, it remains to wait for some image of Mo.
