Avoca male lions

[Duco Ndona]

I think Lionesses in general aren't really that loyal to begin with when they are in heat. 
They more or less mate with every suitable male present, outsider or not, to increase their chances. So if the dominant males are not available. They will just seek out the neighbours. 
Seeing how fragmented that pride is, the Birmingham Males probably just aren't able to be present at each lioness at the right time. So its not that surprising some are mating with the Avocas.

However as long they aren't being cut off like Hairy Belly was I don't think it means that they are abandoning the Birmingham's. 
They will stick with the dominant coalition once the emotions subside and so far they are not spending time with the Avocas outside of mating. 


This whole thing reminds me how people were convinced a while back that the pride was roaring for the othawa male to come over.
While we now know how that ended. Reply
