The Nkhulus were last spotted around Sabi Sands I believe when they killed that Sand River sub-adult male, so if they’ve not been in Sabi Sands and as far as I know neither the Gijima males nor the NSW males have claimed the Sand River Pride, how is the remaining Southern Avoca nomadic. Unless the Sand River Pride has went into KNP, it doesn’t make sense why he wouldn’t be with them. I also wondered why he didn’t return to that pride or the plains camp pride and the nkhulus aren’t far from sabi sands and haven’t tried to take over either pride  
The Avocas lost their resolve and abandoned the pride. Not willing to actually wait for the Nkhulus to begin their push and beat them up or kill them for the pride.
Meanwhile the Nkhulus simply have no idea what is going on and still believe both Southern Avocas are there. Which they arent confident enough to confront yet. So the pride is left abandoned for now. With neither coalitions brave enough to join them.  (09-02-2023, 12:10 PM)I’m Duco Ndona Wrote: The Avocas lost their resolve and abandoned the pride.

The only thing I can think off is that the Avoca males went into KNP like we all know but instead headed up North thru KNP so when he come back into Sabi Sands the first territory he come across was the Kambulas.

Technically if it’s southeastern mala mala then that is southern avoca territory so he went back to his territory but further north as they don’t go to mala mala often so why so often now?
I think he is just allowing himself to run ahead of the current dynamics a bit. They havent taken over yet, but probably will so in the next weeks.
For the time that has passed and no sign of the brother I hope I am wrong, I think this guy is one more for the number of males now alone in the sands sabi which is quite sad, both he and the mohawk were very attached to their brothers , a thread of hope? He could be Nkuhuma's long-awaited coalition partner, would that be ideal? maybe not, there are lone younger males but none of them seem friendly to Nkuhuma, together they might have a good chance with the talamati pride perhaps.

Though I think I remember word that they were later seen close to their territory, but not photos or videos, nor will I remember now if the info was reliable. I thought it was not confirmed and the timing could be off on when they were with Hamilton pride? Juat what I might have read somewhere. Maybe its totally wrong? Was it actually confirmed true?

Aggression and dominance is largely influenced by circumstances so there’s no guarantees that Lions will behave the same under different circumstances. Look at the Tintswalos and how their totem pole has fluctuated depending on health and fitness. The S Avoca could very well choose to be submissive at the benefit of having conpnioship. Just saying!

Let’s be real Nkuhuma prolly runs away from him the second they see each other. The S Avoca may pursue the relationship without knowing any of the other nomads in the area but if he’s aware of the young Talamati males, young Kambula males etc and even that’s a stretch then there’s no reason for him to side with Nkuhuma.(09-04-2023, 12:16 PM)KM600 Wrote:(09-04-2023, 11:51 AM)Gavskrr Wrote: For the time that has passed and no sign of the brother I hope I am wrong, I think this guy is one more for the number of males now alone in the sands sabi which is quite sad, both he and the mohawk were very attached to their brothers , a thread of hope?

How do you know how agressive this S.Avocas is? We have very little info about S.Avocas characters, let alone how would they behave as solo nomads. For what we know, this S.Avoca was less dominant then his brother. Cant match him physically? Based of what exactly?

No matter how the situation may have ended against the Nkhulu males and Dreadlocks they held them off for much longer than expected and when they caught them together it was said the Nkhulu males left Dreadlocks to get severely injured, it was even reported his back leg was broken and death was imminent at first. Ur right very little info is known about them, but u don’t get a duo this successful and dominant with one completely inferior male especially due to the fact they would have been outnumbered for the majority of their lives. Reason I said Nkuhuma couldn’t match him physically is because Skorro Jr was known to dominate him constantly whether it was females or food during the short time of their partnership, if u can even call it that, was also the reason ppl have claimed it didn’t work out for either male. U got to remember this Avoca has been a pride male for however many years he most likely won’t have the mentality of a nomadic male, yet, don’t be surprised if there’s videos of him chasing off other lions that he could instead form a partnership with, for all we know he still thinks his brother is alive.(09-04-2023, 12:16 PM)KM600 Wrote: Very much doubt it, a male as aggressive as the remaining Southern Avoca needs a male who can match him physically, otherwise the Nkuhuma male is quite literally gonna get bullied over kills, mating rights etc and most likely end up leaving himself and that’s even if the Southern Avoca accepted him instead of attacking him instantly. |
