That might be a bit too young. I believe only the youngest ones, including HB were born in late 2006/early 2007. Rest of them were born earlier. 

There are also examples of male lion becoming dominant at 3 yrs old, such as OM, and Mjejane, but I just dont think thats the case for Matimbas.

A lot of missinformation floating around about when Matimbas actually become dominant. 

Its not exactly clear, their first offspring was born in 2011 in Mbiri pride, and they started mating with their 2nd pride, Talamatis, only towards the end of 2011.

So at best they become dominant in late 2010, but mostly likely it was 2011. 

So they become dominant around 4-4.5 yrs of age, which is nothing unusual for such a big coalition, especially as they had 1 older male aswell. Reply
