So what actually happened when Mbiri males (I mean Zigzag and Shaka, to avoid confusion lol) 'infiltrated' the pride? Nothing happened? And they just joined back into the pride? Fascinating

The young subadult was not sighted when the Mbiri males were with the pride. So he must have fled and succesfully escaped (I also don't see Mbiri males tolerating him). It's also possible Mandevu and Nzuri were not with the pride at the time of the Mbiris' visit. But most likely all three males fled. Surely they must have at least heard Mbiri males presence when they were there

Hopefully they do not meet. I was wondering and I had a question. Mibiri male lions are getting older. How long would other male lions stay ? Menduvo is eight? Maybe he could not alone, but Orphen male lions may need experience. 

Have they all been seen? Sub adult Mibiri? Orphen male lion and Menduvo?

Yes, in the latest Tintswalo video all were seen, so Mandevu, Orpen son (Nzuri), and the young male subadult. The young subadult is not part of the coalition, though, he still hangs with his mothers, aunts and sisters.

I am not sure if I understand your first question correctly, but Mbiri males are getting older yes, although they are still very capable and healthy. I think they could remain dominant for two more years.

About Mandevu & Nzuri, yeah, well, I agree the Nzuri male needs experience, actually I mean experience outside the pride, because he is still with the pride that he was born in. Ideally Mandevu & Nzuri would be ousted and move to other areas / prides, imo. Reply
