No, he wasn't.  In fact, he was not the dominant one until the 2 others became weaker....and he grew into himself, becoming bolder and more assertive.  I'm not saying he wouldn't have become more assertive if the other 2 had not declined....but it seemed to almost coincide.  I saw more footage of Blondie Tumbela mating with Sassy than Skorro Jr....but they probably both mated with her. Scar, however, was definitely the dominant one, mating the most in the very beginning. Remember, Sassy went into heat WAY early after the soft takeover happened....so this was before the current Tumbela went into full dominance....hence his brothers mated much more in the beginning. He didn't seem nearly as interested in mating as the other 2 for a few months, at least, so maybe he was just a late bloomer.   In fact, it was mostly his 2 partners I saw mating with big Aunty Othawa and Sassy, whereas I saw more footage of him mating with the other Aunty....and she went into heat much later than Sassy, so makes sense if Skorro Jr was the sire to most, if not all, of the younger 3 cubs.....
