Lions: With the bulk of the Kambula pride and both Gowrie males spending so much time in the south, one has to wonder if an encounter with the 2 Avoca males is on the cards? These lions last encountered each other a few years ago and today was the closest they’ve been since. The Kambula pride and their males were viewed near Calabash Crossing, while the Avoca males were at KK Crossing... just over a kilometer away. The 4 youngest cubs in the pride and their mother were seen near Rattray’s Camp.

Well lets hope that nothing happens for sake of all those Kambula cubs and sub-adults.

Bboys are definitely not interested in Sparta pride, because they have big pride on their own,but for S. Avocas, they could smell big prize in Kambula pride, they are in their prime and 2 Sparta lionesses are too little for their ambitious. But idk if they can takeover Kambula pride as only 2, even if they can beat 2 Bboys (i doubt that) you know that 6 big Kambula lionesses will support them if the males will stick with the pride.

I am more worried about the Sparta pride as they are the smaller pride and have only one cub. In any skirmish they will have more to lose than the Kambulas. I don't think it would come to blows if the Avocas are a bit more assertive.

kambula lioness are the ones that killed the sparta lioness when they were with matshapira males. Kambula lioness are some beast! they are almost tall as the males.

I suppose this will be a major test for the Avocas. They were put to flight by the last mature dominant males they ran into (the Charleston boys) about a year or so ago. May be they will be more resolute with a cub to defend. Reply
