Ok so it's the Matimba daughter who is the second mother

So the oldest litter with 2 cubs sired by 1 of the 2 selati daughters
second litter with 3 cubs sired by the matimba daughter
Is that correct?

Talamatis all the way down to Sabi Sabi.  I count 7 members.   This brings more fuel to the fire that they may have indeed have lost a female member.

Well, I have different thought. 
I hope imbali malemale to get permanently settle in djuma and previously DM avica held territories. 
He already had control over 3 talamati girls, hoping he would get rest oof lionesses under his belt too. See, ralamatis needs stability and it seems only imbali can provide them. 
He just need to ousted two young boys which shud be a cakewalk for him.

What you're saying seems to be the most obvious outcome but I have the hope that after having such a rough time, DM shakes off his insecurities, forget about his injury, and rule back again.
Looking forward to seeing DM's future.

Tbh DM or Imbali it's all the same. Stability doesn't come from solo males.

He can't come into Djuma proper until Mohawk and Blondie are gone either, south Djuma is part of their territory overlap with DM

True, that's why I'd love to see DM finding a partner/partners.

In the far south there is a lot of room the settle down. Hopefully they will do that and finally start mating with either 3 newcomers that are challanging Ndzenga males or with Southern Avoca males. 

I find that funny how Talamati boys are misstaken there for some sub adults duo to their lack of mane. I wonder how much would those guys be suprised if they would see those Talamatis standing up.

The Plains Camp males

Thick-set and oozing with confidence. Time will tell whether they continue to push west and cause further havoc with the Othawa pride.

How will the Tumbela males respond? With 3 different male lion coalitions in the western sector at the moment, there's bound to be some serious action
