Avoca Male Lions and Their Male Lineage

An interesting sighting in which she attempted to entice copulation. She flirted with him, potentially in a state of false-oestrus in order to draw him away from the area of the rest of the pride and the recent litters of cubs.

This male is believed to have already been responsible for the infanticide of two cubs. The Northern Avoca coalition are pushing for dominance over the Kambula Pride and thus will kill the cubs of the resident Gowrie males in order to increase their own chances of siring offspring.

In this instance, the Northern Avoca male rejected her amorous advances with an aggressive physical attack. The surreal visual was accompanied by symphony of deep, guttural growls, which escalated into a thunderous roar with saliva and the condensation of his breath in the brisk winter darkness encapsulated in a backlit dust-cloud kicked up under tooth, claw.

This is Mohawk. As far I know, wasn't Blondie who killed the cubs? Reply
