Avoca male lions

[Tonpa]

Northern Avocas

Sightings:
• The first sighting of these males was on the 10th, when they were south of Clarendon Dam; this is further east than we expect to see them.
• On the 25th, the two males were with three lionesses and seven cubs from the Nkuhuma pride south of Mlowathi Dam; they fed on the remains of an adult zebra. The group remained in the same area for the next two days.
• On the 28th, the two males kept the company of 18 Nkuhuma lions while they all fed on a buffalo bull's remains in the Maponyoleni Donga's lower reaches. The same grouping moved north and was around Mlowathi Pans on the 29th and 30th.
