There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world.

This week also saw the reappearance of the Ross and Hercules females as they popped in for a brief period. Both girls were looking in good shape and their bond seemed as strong as any other lionesses, which is fascinating considering they are unrelated. The biggest surprise of the week was the appearance of eight members of the Avoca Pride in the south-west of our concession. Whilst we didn’t venture down to see them, it was interesting to hear that this pride made a very rare and random visit to our area and were encroaching into the Giraffe Pride territory. It seems they were trailing a buffalo herd and this led to them coming north, but time will tell if it was a one-off visit, or not.
Could someone give some background on these two lionesses and how they're related to current males with the same name? Thank you in advance.
Ussualy coalition of males are named by the name of pride they came from so for example Birmingham males are called such because they came from Birmingham pride, Avoca males are called such because they came from Avoca pride and so on. Same case is there with Hercules male and two Ross males. I do not know tho how old are those lionesses so idk if those are brother-sister or mother-sons or cousins or what.
It depends who does the naming and if it’s practical to do so. Some reserves coalitions based on locality. In the case of YBM and TYM they originate from two separate prides (Birmingham and Torchwood) , two separate localities (Ngala and Sabi Sands). I will assume they will get a name that will most likely be related to the area they seem to dominate first. My guess.
