I am afraid for what may happen when these guys decide to take a pride if they are anything like their fathers and uncles it won’t be good unfortunately… BUT they all look great

Kambulas may try going for the easiest move of taking over the Skorro male's territory, an area that sort of is the backyard of the other duos around, PCM, Ndhzenga and especially BDM.

Still the BDM definitely heard their roars, and possibly the Ndhzengas too, ans recently Ndhzengas were tracking Skorro.

Not so sure they did, BDMs were on WildEarth a couple of hours ago following 7 members of the Nkuhuma Pride who happened to be running away from the duo. No Mohawk or Nkuhuma YMs in sight. As they were on WildEarth, they’re somewhere in Djuma away from their usual territory in Chitwa Chitwa.

Was thinking the other day, with Ndzhengas seemingly pressuring BDMs in the North it’s very possible that Skorros territory has shifted further West. If this did happen he’d be closer to the Kambula YMs, very bad place to be as a lone male.

Would have liked to see all 4 members of the Talamati breakaways in good shape but atleast the adult lioness is looking good, she’s the primary hunter anyways so definitely the most important member right now.

Yeah I thought exactly the same.

Not sure if Skorro Breakaway has a "full time" territory, as he is pushed by everyone, regardless, that area where he is is quite small, even for 1 male.

What might happen, with demise of S8, now big portion of northern reaches of northern SS are empty, BDMs might move further north, and Kambulas might squeeze in that area where BDMs where.

Although with Kambulas being 4 males, not sure if thats sustainable in the long run, as theres no females there to keep them busy.

And the plot thickens… Remember saying the control of Northern Sabi Sands could come down to who’s quicker to take advantage between the Nkuhuma YMs and the Kambula YMs, don’t want to necessarily dismiss the BDMs but the odds are against them if these two coalitions stick around. I doubt the Kambula YMs go back to being fully nomadic now they’ve had interactions with females and it could even convince them to challenge the BDMs especially as I’m guessing they’re with the same 3 females the BDMs were just with. BDMs need to take this threat seriously and properly oust them, they can’t afford not to.

Only one Kambula YM confirmed to be with the 3 Nkuhuma lionesses, did see a post an hour or so ago detailing that the 3 brothers were contact calling for him and were heading towards Chitwa Chitwa, no idea what happens with the sister at this point.

Interesting, BDMs yesterday seen following NKs, not sure if they are aware of this, or if something happened over night.

I think we soon might have a conflict between 2 parties.

As for sister, hope she doesnt get too close, 3 NK females would prob attack her.
