Kind of. After Ross males pushed out Trilogy males for good, 2 Sumatra males appeared in the region. It was again very unstable time for Avoca pride.  Avoca lionesses were mating by that time with both Ross and Sumatra coalitions. Later on one of the Sumatra males disapeared and the remaining one moved out of the arena. Cubs sired by Sumatras were killed off by the Ross males. Ross males also moved away to Ngala after some time vacating Avoca pride. All the cubs sired by Ross males in Avoca pride died out as well however to some disease. In the end you can say they were dominant over Avoca pride all the way to 2018, but for part of it they shared dominance in the region with Sumatra males and in the end they left no surviving offspring in Avoca pride.

But, by that report Ross males came later then Trilogy males, in mid 2016, and Trilogy in late 2015 after Avoca/Giraffes abandon them.. Xikukutsu are born in late 2015/early 2016..

The white-faced Giraffe male was with the Avoca females on September 2015 and Xikukutsu males were born in December. Anyway, It was confirmed by Johan Adolf Smalman that the Xikukutsu males are sons of the Ross. Reply
