Birmingham Coalition Male Lineage

[Duco Ndona]

1 to 3, for now. Though its always possible K4 reunites with the rest. Or that some of his brothers join him.

The two groups are living entirely different lives at the moment. K4 is acting like a matured male lion, seeking out sex and territory and now he has been seperated, he gets to live that life. 
I don't think its a coincidence that the one most interested in lionesses ends up being found with the lionesses rather than the rest of the group. Which as K5 demonstrated, apparently isn't that difficult to reconnect with.
While the others are still not ready yet to be territorial, and are mostly just wandering along surviving and avoiding other lions. 

With the groups having such different conflicting priorities and goals at the moment, it makes sense that they aren't in a hurry to reunite.

I don't think the sister has anything to do with it. Any of those males can now be the first to just leave the others and join K4, leaving the sister in the care of the others. But for some reason, they just don't. Reply
