Lions of Timbavati

[Mapokser]

Dunno if this is a good move by them, I was confident they were going to retire with the Birmingham core pride, seeing how they're turning 11yo now, but if we look at their past, they have always abandoned their pride when the cubs were close to 2yo and now the oldest Birmingham cubs are 2yo so they might start a process of switching prides and maybe even their territory.

Considering they aren't getting any younger and the competition in Timbavati will be insane with many huge coalitions of young males, of which weren't Mapoza's sons with some Bbreakaways after clashes with the Ross males? It's quite possible the missing Ross male was killed by them.

I'd rather have the Mbiris retire with the core pride, raising all the current cubs, a new adventure given the current scenario may not end well for them, old lions rarely try to expand or take new prides unless they have great numbers, they lack that fire from before and understand they aren't as strong anymore... still, they have surprised me many times, so who knows, we may see these Mbiris at the age of their uncle Hairy Belly raising some Breakaway cubs lol.
