The Birmingham Males

[Duco Ndona]

11 is a good odd age for a lion. If they are living a healthy life, they would still be in a good shape. But if life is rough they can detoriate rapidly. They cant handle anymore what they could at 5. 
Think about 50 to 60s in human age. 
Though Londolozi is right that they are nearing their end. At that age the chance that a new coalition pops up that is stronger than you is higher than that its weaker and once driven into nomadhood its typically over quick. The chance that they will be gone in a few year is higher than being alive. 

They are alive, still being fed and occasionally get to mate or currently having cubs. That's enough to be successful in my book.
