They are nothing but rivals at this point, and if they somehow link as nomads, it would be purely based of a "chance" as any other unrelated males.

We love those "bloodline" ,"long lost brothers" stories, but that doesnt work like that in reality.

With lions, if you are not part of the same group, you are rivals, regardless of you connection in the past and blood, especially as time passes.

Mhangenis kiled her own aunt, who raised them, only 1,2 years after their link broked, Kambulas almost killed their Mhangeni mother in similar fashion and theres many more examples.

Let alone lions who didnt interact for 5+ yrs.

we can't forget previous stories...
There are possibilities that the Rollercoaster males could have fought or even killed one of their fathers (wsm). 

Also: Monwana males probably finished their father, BDM, after he was injuried by buffalo
ofc those arent "brotherhood" situations, yet the males still spent about the same amount of time (or less) separated from their fathers as S. avoca have been separated from N. avoca

It is funny (odd), that you bring up the WSM/Rollercoaster males. I was just reading a couple of days ago, that WSM were the likely fathers of the Rollercoasters, but also that there is a possibility that the Rollercoasters fathered the two youngest Mapogos (apparently seen mating with Sparta lionesses around the time of conception). A conversation for another thread, but I found it funny that you mentioned them when I was just reading about this. Reply
