Dont think so, its normal that big, successful and long lasting coalitions like Majingilanes, Matimbas and Bboys sire many generations off offspring and in different prides, in one area, but 90% or so of their  males offspring will move on and eventually another males from different areas will come.

Which male offspring from Majingilanes, Matimbas and Bboys stayed, become territorial and sired cubs in Sabi Sands? 

1. OM, who is now dead and only has 1 surviving cub atm. 

2. Nkuhuma male looks like another who might stay and sire cubs, although he will be lone male in few years, so his potential offspring is also at question here. 

I hope you get what im saying, out off all Majingilanes, Matimbas and Bboys male offspring, we only have 1 their cub alive now in Sabi Sands, sired by OM. 

And we have completley new bloodline now in Avocas, Ndhzengas, PC males, Kruger/Torchwood males and now new Gijima males. Only Tumbelas share the same genes as Matimbas and Bboys, but thats just in one pride. 

Also for future, another big Bboys offspring in Kambulas are also on their way out of Sabi Sands, 2 are already in Kruger, other 4 will prob also leave as they started to navigate east of Sabi Sands. 

If we go further , next in line are 2 Talamatis sired by Avocas, with strong coalitions in the other areas of Sabi Sands, its very unlikely they will be able to establish themselves here also. 

So as we see, males rearly stay in their natal area, its more of and exception, nature balance herself. Reply
