RE: Lions of Timbavati - Duco Ndona - 04-02-2024
I think its perfectly normal behavoir and easily explainable without adding motives like malice or revenge to the mix.
Its probably underreporded becouse its first of all rare that we get to witness the actual death of the lion, rather than just finding his half eaten corpse later so the damage is wrongly atributed to scavengers.
And if there are witnesses, people may be reluctant to post it out of fear of backlash, social media rules or to preserve the delusional lion king image these animals have.

Tanda Tula update
Perhaps the explanation for the good leopard viewing was that the lions were not as active around the area this week as we have become accustomed to over the past several months. Although we had lions on a daily basis, it was usually one Vuyela male, two there, and a River Pride lioness on her own or with the cubs, but the whole pride was not seen together this week. The Sark Breakaways only pitched up in the latter half of the week, and a few members of the Giraffe Pride were also seen scattered around the west before they regrouped to 21-strong as the week drew to a close. The Vuyela’s continue to be present and roar their dominance over this piece of the Timbavati, and this is doing the job of keeping the Birmingham Breakaway males and Mayambula to the south and east of our concession.

How many are their daughters vs unrelated lionesses and are the Ross males going to be having a 3rd round of cubs?
Very happy both Birmingham groups and their pride males are doing so well!

Giraffe male, partner of limping Monwana and son of famous BDM :
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mapokser - 04-05-2024
Speaking of the BDM's sons, was the first partner of the Guernsey male also a BDM son?

No, son of last Trilogy male, that boy was massive.
Speaking of that, shame that these guys (Giraffe, limping Monwana, Guernsey and Monwana) didnt form a coalition of 4 males back in their early nomadic days when they where seen together for some time.
Obviously we cant know if they would succeed then, but would had greater chances as both duo coalitions failed (Monwana got killed, Guernsey also after that in new coalition and Giraffe had/has no chance to become territorial with limping Monwana because of his condition).
Not sure what will happen with limping Monwana or how long he can survive, but in theory Giraffe and Avoca male could be good match if they can somehow link, and with ageing Ross and Mbiri males, there could be room for them in Timbavati in future.

Who killed the Monwana male?
