Chris.
How long do you think you will be allowed to go on like this, evidently trolling people until you get a response?
Now, if you're really interested on new reports on the lions, you can also contribute to the forum and post such new reports. With the articles posted, almost everyone here also links the original article to the page where it came from. There you can get the new reports and share it here with us.
Don't you think?
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tshokwane - 06-23-2017
By the way, @Fredymrt I love to see those news on the Trilogy male. I'm slowly catching up with the news, so thanks for sharing it.

Lone Sumatra Male Lion in Klaserie Mates with Ross Females
*This image is copyright of its original author
"Lion pride dynamics in any reserve are always shifting and changing with the wind – nothing is ever cast in stone, which is why we can never become emotionally attached to local prides. Prides splinter, lionesses stick together and once strong kings are ousted when the testosterone fuelled sub-adults seek to take over. Sounds complicated? Well…It is.
Males leave their birth pride and form coalitions with other males at roughly the age of 3. This is the age when they seek to take over prides and form strong bonds with other males. Young males that don’t find a coalition become nomadic, always in search of lionesses. You have nomadic males and coalitions coming in search of prides to rule and lands to reign over. There may be warfare or quiet retreats from old pride kings. It’s all about power, land and females!
You see, the life cycle of a lion and its intricate, dramatic family life is a spaghetti-like world of complication. At the moment, we’re watching the intricate web of Klaserie lions becoming more and more involved. Today, yet again, we received further information about a male lion, which adds another twist in the tale from our Klaserie rangers.

Just when we thought the Mapoza’s were going to take over, they disappeared deep into the thickets. The Trilogy male triumphantly returned with a sidekick and bodyguard. Were they scoping out the lay of the land in the hopes of forever reigning supreme? We don’t know, because they disappeared as quickly as they arrived. Then we had the Sumatra males testing the waters, a nomadic male and a male with lionesses.
Last week, Luan heard two male lions brazenly contact calling through the land and upon seeing them, we’ve yet to discover just who they are. There’s speculation that they could be the Mbiri male lions – and it’s not the first time we’ve spotted them.
Shortly after the sighting of this duo, rangers reported a sighting of another Sumatra male ! This is actually the third sighting of the Sumatras (previously we saw two young Sumatra males in the area) and this time it was a different male
*This image is copyright of its original author
This Sumatra male has JUST been spotted mating with the Ross Pride Breakaway lionesses. We spotted the male yesterday and the Ross girls moved off into the thickets. This powerful male had a full belly – a clear indication that he’d just enjoyed a recent kill ! Kevin said the stench of the kill was strong, but they couldn’t see the carcass anywhere. The wakes of vultures and clans of hyena are sure to approach the kill site in the next day or two. The one thing that appears to be consistent on our traverse in the Klaserie is the presence of the notorious lion sisters – the Ross Pride Breakaway lionesses. They leave no male lion untouched and have birthed many cubs, none of which have survived. At least they’re our reliable lions of the area."
But, are we complaining? No – we have a heavy presence of lions which is always a good thing, despite their origin!

WEEK IN PICTURES 26-30 JUNE ’17:
Nearly four weeks not being sighted once, the big male of the Mohlabetsi coalition has returned. He was seen one morning with the rest of the coalition resting close to a dam, and was later seen again with them on a giraffe kill that the Kudyela Pride killed but were chased away by these males. He has some injuries around his hind legs which indicates that he was involved in a fight and can explain why he was not seen for such an extended time.

The Mohlabetsi male seen again after an absence of 4 weeks as he recoveres from wounds sustained during a fight with 3 rival males.

Safari Update
The last 2 days has been epic at Tintswalo Safari Lodge in the Manyeleti Game Reserve!
We all were very lucky to spend some time with the 3 gigantic Avoca Male Lions in the North of the Reserve! These boys managed to bring down a young Buffalo bull and is still currently in the same area feasting on their success.

The Thanda Impi male Lions and the rest of the Mbiri pride including the cubs has moved further to the South close to the Lodge on River road . They must have heard the distant roars of the Avoca males and was forced to move the cubs further away too safety. Its going to be interesting to see if the Avoca’s move back North after their visit, or will they penetrate deeper into Thanda Impi country! The Thanda Impi male lions were found this morning at Ingwemanzi.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Chris - 07-04-2017
Are there the fathers of the 2 young avoca males in the sabi sands? I think so.

They are not. The avocas were fathered by the old Ross males (not to be confused with the half brothers of the avocas, the Ross males) in the Timbavati. The last remaining old Ross male is over 13 years old and has been missing since the end of 2016.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - NCAT33 - 07-04-2017
Yes they are
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Chris - 07-04-2017
So they are are brothers?

No I believe the two young Avocas currently around Londolozi were fathered by the Northern Matimbas but I´m not sure
