That could have been said when they took northern reaches of Mala Mala and Londolozi and mated with Tsalala lioneses, but that is not the case anymore. MOst recen Avoca's actions are definitelly more than that.

Avocas already started claiming arenas which used to be so far Kambula pride territory and they mated with some of Kambula females. BIrmionghams are clearly lossing their grip over that pride.

If it would be so easy then they would already get rid of Avocas long time ago.

Thats something you just cant ignore. If a rival lion does that, you either flee or attack.

What Avocas are doing is open challange as well. They are just taking piece of land after piece, slowly striping Birminghams from their lands and pride insteed of going for everythink at once like Othawa male has done.

1 - As far I remember only mated with the cucbless Ntsevu lioness, did they mated with the other females? therefore, they didn't lose the control over the Ntsevu females, as most recetly, all the lionesses are speding the time with the Birmingham males.

2 -  Avoca males are tooking piece by piece the Birmingham males territory, but as per the recent MalaMala image of lion territories, shows that the Birmingham males still have a very big territory. Reply
