Avoca Male Lions and Their Male Lineage

[Mapokser]

Yeah, but when Mohawk was first forming a coalition with his 4 sons, even roaring, I was confident we'd see him as a dominant male again, but it turns out he is truly retired.

Age and the stress/blow of being ousted and losing your coalition partner hits every male differently.

Some remain very strong like Nhenha and the Kruger male, others deteriorate like the Avocas, even if they are healthy.

Gotta hope the 2 remaining NK males become as successful as their S.Avoca uncles, being a duo, but it is a shame that they could have been a 4 strong coalition, or even 5 with their father... Though at the same time, maybe it was for the best, you never know how damaging these big coalitions can be, especially if they had stick to Sabi Sands where everybody is raising new generations of young cubs.

The fact we have so many duos raising cubs currently is remarkable when we have 6 Nkhulu in the south and 4 Kambulas in the north. Reply
