Indeed a shame what happened to them. Many lions went missing during the unfortunate days of lockdown.
I've always wondered if a coalition made up of mostly unrelated males that joined during nomadic life could be as formidable and united like the normal brothers/cousins from the same pride coalition...
I honestly think the DeLaporte males were developing a real close bond together and becoming more of a unit day by day.

I guess the Ndzhengas could be taken as an example of how strong the bond with an  unrelated male can be. Since Ubuso was unrelated but was as close as a brother. Not only having a great bond with the others but also good to mention when the Ndzhengas came for the rescue of their unrelated partner when the Gijimas got hold of him.
