They recently sent the Othawa male running for his life from a young buffalo kill he had made, and thus far don’t seem to have been bothered by the slow advance of the Northern Avoca males.
Still spending the majority of their time with the Ntsevu pride, they have protected the pride well enough that their offspring are almost independent, and the adult lionesses should be coming back into oestrus soon...

Birminghams definitely showing they still have it recently, what with chasing the 4 N'waswitshaka Males and now the Othawa Male. Was expecting some interaction between the 2 due to the Othawa Male mating with the Kambula lioness recently. I think Northern Avoca expansion into Northern MalaMala and Londolozi is more due to the Nkuhuma Pride filling the void left there by the Styx Pride becoming nomadic. Don't think its the Northern Avocas actively trying to take over Birmingham territory.

Interesting times ahead in Sabi Sand. The Othawa male yet is 5 Years old and inexperienced . too for the N'waswishaka Boys have between 4 and 4.5 yet, in a couple of years they should be a force to be reckoned with.


2 - About Avoca,  Blondie still is Limping, and seems to be a Chronic limp. Mohawk is in good shape despite the TB. And Dark Mane in the South of Manyeleti... So in the case of can happend a fight between two Coalitions my point are for the Gowrie. Are in better shaoe than the N. Avoca at the moment. Reply
