He’s from Avoca but if different generation. I have been treating him as a “Timbavati lion.

I would much prefer if this male stayed with Khanya for the time being. Been getting seen a few times by himself recently, much more than he use to.

I agree and has been my wish as well that he departs the pride and remains w Khanya. He has no future w the pride and has been very lucky till now that at least three different invading coalitions have not killed him. If he insists in staying, tables can quickly turn and his luck changes 
Mohawk playing a very dangerous game spiting the Xhimungs. PCM's may not like that much.

This thread is for Avoca males who are/where in Sabi Sands and their offspring, not Avoca pride. Content related for Avoca pride should be posted in Timbavati thread.

Hope that helps to answer your question. 
@sik94 Mohawk couldn't even dominate one of his 3yo sons in a carcass once.
He is old and skinny, his sons big, strong and 4,5-5yo now. Only reasons lions split in such scenarios are A) they're much stronger than their partners and want to get to a better area alone, like DM Avoca; B) They're much weaker and are having trouble competing for food and/or mating opportunities. Mohawk is clearly option B.
Older lions sometimes prefer to return to areas they know well, when they feel getting weaker. Not necessarily to die there but... Mohawks is not weak yet, but it might be factor as well. If he still gets Nkuhumas there as a support system, what's not to like from his POV, if he is more in a survival than domination mode.
Just feeling like we are jumping on being outcompeted by his sons narrative way too much, might be multiple factors (including unknown events and encounters) and in the end lions don't always act logically and rationally ("by the book") nor they have maps and info we have (and usually we don't have some of the info they have, to see the whole picture from their POV). 
Basically what I think happened to a what he did to darkmane sorta kinda I guess that’s why he was seen alone first then back in sabi sands
I think he was constantly going solo, tried to force it, and then got tired of hanging with teenagers

Did anyone notice how this male is similar to his now gone, older brother Lip Scar? He even has lip scar in exact place.

I think that might be dried mud or something, not sure if I’ve seen him with a scar near his lip although very few sightings are close up so hard to see. Then again, maybe the scarring has come within the last few weeks with all the different males he’s been around. |
