Avoca Male Lions and Their Male Lineage

[sik94]

Darkmane and talamati pride were seen on safarlive today. Darkmane still has a small limp from that paw/leg injury, that limp seems permanent to me but shouldn't bother him in hunting or dealing with other lions. 
The talamati cubs all look like mini darkmanes, he is quite a unique looking lion and you can clearly notice the same look in most talamati cubs. A few of the cubs looked  like mohawk with the long face and the crazy eyes. 
I thought Darkmane came to djuma looking for his brothers but seems more like he just came down with the talamatis after the talamatis realized the nkuhuma territory has moved south along with blondie and mohawk. Darkmane seems to be acting like the 5th mantimahle or nduna matimba, he is pretty much on his own. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point a younger coalition ends up becoming dominant in djuma and splits the northern avoca coalition into two. Reply
