Avoca Male Lions and Their Male Lineage

[Duco Ndona]

Its going to depend on the circumstance. 

If one of the lions runs in the pair of the others. He is going to get mauled and the other will be run off.  
If they stay together and avoid the above scenario. The Birmingham's will win for the time being. 
Its clear that the groups are not interested in a 2vs2 fight. So the status quo will be maintained. The Avoca will likely continue to pick off cubs and steal land and the occasional lioness. But the pride will remain in Birmingham paws which have no reason to flee yet. Afteral, they don't cares about hectares, just about having a pride. 

However. In the long term. They will be slowly abandoned like Hairy Belly Matimba was.. The pride will start noticing the Birmingham boys are no longer suitable males and will begin seeking more suitable mates elsewhere. They will begin to meet up with the Avoca's more and more and hang out with them for far longer periods of time like a normal pride would. New cubs included.   
Eventually the amount of lionesses sticking with the Birmingham's will dwindle to nothing. Likely just the few ones who's cubs haven't been killed yet.  The Matimbas would no longer reliably get kills to feed on or get to mate. So they will be forced to either take over their own pride again or wander of hoping for better opportunities. Reply
