Yeah he doesn't have the lifespan anymore of the other younger males but I can't rule out him succeeding in at least partly controlling the pride for some time. I think we tend to underestimate old but fit and experienced males like him.

Monwanas have a good chance, I agree. But they may need some more time before realizing what 'territorial' is vs nomad life

Styx male doesn't hang out in the north and first needs to find a partner. Don't see it happening

Khanya and Nkuhuma don't hang out in the north / Nkhuma territory either (I could be wrong though, happy to be corrected). So low probability, although I like this duo as a potential territorial coalition

Mantimahles seem to focus on other prides for now

Kambulas I don't really dare to say anything about lol, the potential is still there since they are with 4, but for now, K4 with injuries etc, no

Yh ur right I forgot Kruger male. Do u see him defending the pride from invasions of grown males? Wouldn’t u need to be a red road male caliber lion to pull something like this off? How big do u see his chances of raising offspring to independence with them? 

I feel u on the monwanas. I gave them 1 year before acting territorial. Do u think they need more time to get into territorial life mode?

Since I heard that nomads roam around a lot I thought any male lion around sabi sands could be the next nkuhuma king. I mean Kambulas where all over sabi sands as nomads. How limiting is location as a factor?So if giving Styx, nkuhuma and khanya only the chance to become king where they are actively chilling? (I know u doubt that Styx will even find an coalition partner and be king)

And yh I truly feel u on the kambulas. Potential is theirs but past experiences hasn’t shown, that they will make major moves in the future. Reply
