I think only the Southern Avocas are littermates, which is almost certainly the case, being that they are at least 6 months older than the others.... The S. Avocas were born around 3/13, while the others were born 6-8 months later. They were seen in a pic together as small cubs with another male the same size, along with a lioness.  She had a litter of 3 males, but lost one of them.  I was trying to find that picture that I saw a couple of times.  The others are probably not....but there is an outside chance that Mohawk and Blondie might be, since they were closer to each other than to DM.  DM didn't have a littermate brother, but he did have a sister with whom he was close until he went nomadic.

The Southern Avocas are extremely close, always patrolling and mating together.  I've never seen a coalition more in sync with each other.  They are now at a prime age of 9.5 years. Reply
