Tintswalo should be proud of their coalition but why do they think, or even want, these boys to stick around? The only pride in that area is their natal pride and I’m sure their mothers aren’t going to tolerate them forever. They need to disperse IMO.

This males are still in their mind a part of the pride, they are still not in dominant/territorial phase, except Nharu, they are not even 4 yrs old.. As I noticed, they are not seen with all Mbiri females, only with few of their sisters..

The Tintswalo males have the numbers on their advantage, I think they can took-over a pride in Manyeleti easily at the moment. Especially for the males around (1 Orpen male,1 Red road male and 1 Northern Avoca male) the number it's everything at this stage. The Red road male, Despite, He is considered the biggest lion in Manyeleti, Can't fight against 4 males with a purpose

This shot comes from the same series of photos as the one Tino posted of Brutus taken in April 2013 when Brutus and his bro were at Shindzela. They also visited Ngala at the time but it was then that they took over one of their father's abandoned prides - the Avocas - and settled in Shindzela and Makanyi. Funny that Skorro & bro were sniffing around Shindzela then too. Photo credit: Senaratne Wilmot  *This image is copyright of its original author Skorro is on the right.

I guess appearance on camera is deceiving just like how Nhenha is the largest in Sabi Sands but people think others are larger. I think it also comes with the fact that he has still been coming into his peak unlike the Othawa Male. They are around the same age but have different developments. His size also makes me think the 3 Nharu females who are the Birmingham Boys sisters are huge lionesses as they look decently sized next to Red Road. @Tr1x24 you said all the Avocas besides DM are average but remember photographers and guides say the Ring Eyed Southern Avoca is larger. just a thought but does anyone can confirm if the kambula lioness are bigger then the nahru lioness?

The Kambula as the Nharu females are considered to be big females. So, Hard to tell which one is bigger than the other |
