But I dont think Diff is going to confuse a lioness he knows is there and mating with the Tumbellas with one that hasnt been in the region for a while now.

As for the Avocas. As they push south, they will leave the north wide open for a takeover. 
Though if their respective prides are getting into estrus again its more likely they are going to stay home for now.

I only know one is male, the other two I don't know. Very difficult to to tell when they're cubs

I know. It's possible the photographer might got it wrong about these lionesses. The problem is both of them are blacked i.e. we can't see their faces.

Silver Eyed Talamati Queen
The well known matriarch of the Talamati pride. This queen is roughly 13 years old, born in 2008. She is doing great and was seen a few days ago at Nkhoro on a fresh kill.

Update: The photographer has made a correction and these lionesses actually are the Talamati female lionesses.

I believe the consensus is that she was probably sired by Dozie the Nkuhuma male, although I don't think she was ever photographed as a cub so who knows ey

Ok thanks for letting me know, someone said that this was taken in Londolozi, and the only lions that look like that in Londolozi are the PC Males or NK young male. Guess the person was wrong or I misidentified
