Lions of Sabi Sands

[Duco Ndona]

By positioning themselves between several prides. They force the surrounding lionesses into aknowledging them as a potential future takeover candidate or atleast a risk to the cubs. Especially if they are more impressive than the current pride males. Which will lead the lionesses to seek them out later for mating.

So they may just be pursuing this strategy rather than the traditional takeover.

Ultimately the pride is more a term for the social construct of lionesses living together. Much like coalition is for males.
So should Ximhungwe die before leaving a successor. The Ximhungwe pride will continue to exist, but entirely out of Othawa blood. Which will be another dark twist on the already dark history the two prides have with eachother. Reply
