This is 1/3 Imbali males who are territorial at H1-2 road, they are sons of Mluwati males.

Gijima males were mating with one of the Talamati lionesses, would be the wrong move imo. Unless the Talamatis were to move South, they’d have no support for the cubs surrounded by coalitions, no way the cubs survive. Even if they were to move South, u still have the NSW males along with the 4 Kambula young males and no doubt part of their territory would intercept with the Mhangeni pride controlled by the PCMs. There’s too much competition in Sabi Sands rn to have cubs with absent fathers.

Unless they've abandoned the Southern Pride, and if that is the case it'd be even more disastrous, imo.

If that happens and the four bboys sons swooshes in to claim the southern pride then it isnt too bad but then personally i dont want that to happen because my current two favorite biggest coalitions will eventually clash

The two sub females, that the Gijima have allowed to stay, may not be so lucky with other new males, they still aren't old enough to procreate to date. If that happened, the pride could essentially be down to the remaining older female again, and that would absolutely be a disaster imo.

Wait the Southern Pride has 3 females and only one of them is old enough to mate with?

@KM600 I am moving this, as we had another tangent go a little too long. But, this is my reply regarding the Southern Pride.

Yes, the last adult had two daughters from the Nwas that the Gijimas allowed to remain with the pride when they took it over. There was word that she has since had more cubs, but I have not seen pics of them. Reply

Surprised they stayed with the pride considering the lack of females, then again there isn’t any other pride near them that isn’t/wasn’t under control from other males. Reply

There is the Styx pride, which was left in limbo when the Nwas left. But most likely the Gijimas werent aware of them at first.

At that age, the daughters were capable hunters. So the Southern pride had three lionesses hunting for them and one available to mate. Which isnt too bad of a result for a first takeover. Reply

New Scar video Reply

Scar is saying that the next Avoca sighting after their sighting with Hamilton pride, was the one with only one male in Mala Mala. Maybe the previous info about them being seen down south again after leaving the Hamilton females wasn't reliable after all. Reply

Just a quick thought, would any of u say the legacy of a coalition is altered by how successful their offspring becomes, I’m not just talking about making it to independence but how successful they go onto become in their own lives  in terms of furthering their bloodline or would u say a coalition/lion is rated on how much offspring they produce that makes it to adulthood no matter what kind of life they end up having.

For me personally, I believe it is how they see their own cubs to adulthood. Too many unknown dangers out there to hold happenstance against the father who did his part, and saw the cubs grow up. Reply

To be honest. Most of the lions and coalitions of the past few years will likely be forgotten in a few years. They are nothing more than the average, lions take over a pride, have cubs and are then beaten stories we heard a countless times.

Its more when something unusual happens. Like the Othawa Duo. Tailless Tsalala, Mhangeni twelve or the Mapogos, that they truly enter history. Reply

Well. Take your pick of the current coalitions. Only few of them have a cool or tragic story attached to them that is likely to be brought up in 2033. Reply
