They had an altercation with the Mababe males (Tsunami and Gaam) last year in which they injured Gaam and then chased both, which happened on the border of both territories. Now, however they seem more in takeover mode and have been scent marking everywhere, clearly knowing their numbers advantage.

The dynamics of Savuti and the Marsh Pride especially recently are very interesting to say the least. The Mababe males ended up taking over from Sekekama and TornNose and essentially switched territories, Mababes decided to take Marsh Pride and Sekekama and TornNose went into Mababe. All seemed normal until photos of what seemed to be a younger Tsunami come out, photos I’ve already sent in here, which isn’t exactly definite proof but makes it a real possibility for Tsunami to be a direct son of Sekekama and TornNose and being born into Marsh Pride. Gaam could also be related but no such evidence exists for him.

Quite a head scratcher. I’ve never known of two seperate related coalitions possibly fighting over their own natal pride. 

We saw the Mbiris have some exchanges with the Tintswalos, but such ocurrences are indeed quite rare. The Mibiri Males intentions still remain puzzling, given it was right after that incident, the Tintswalos left, and so did the Mbiris. It is rare that males take over their natal pride to begin with, but then to have two coalitions of males battling over their natal pride is even more so, especially since this is only the second time I have, personally, heard of it, ever.

I too thought of that but Mbiris were Tintswalos first ever pride, both the Renegade and Mababe males controlled different prides first. Still incredibly rare tho as u mentioned.

Very strange indeed, that they would control another pride, then return to their natal pride, unheard of really, as far as I am aware. Reply
