Vuyelas and Black Dams have established as the undisputed strongest coalitions and then you’ve got the upcoming Birmingham Breakaways and Monwana Males. Couple of solo males in Hercules and Giraffe/Makeppies Male will have to be careful surrounded by all these big coalitions. 2025 will be a year of transition for all the prides involved.

Another thought, where on earth is the Southern Black Dam Male who left his brother and moved back up there? Sure his last couple of sightings he was hanging with the young Avoca male but seems like nothing on those two in ages.

All very good points. Change is inevitable for all of us, but in this case, it does appear that massive change, for so many lions, is going to be condensed into a relatively brief period of time.

As for the SBDM and Avoca Male, I have not heard anything on either, in quite some time. I inquired about the SBDM a few weeks back, and nobody had heard anything on his whereabouts. Reply
