He wasn't raised with those females and he's starting to show an interest in mating now.  He was seen, I think, showing this interest with at least one female in the pride not long ago....  If there are no males coming in to take over soon, he could, unfortunately, stick around and try to mate with these females.....  Meanwhile, what will the Styx male do?  Is he even around still?  Will they both stay together???  

I haven't exactly seen them together much lately.  Did the Styx male leave?  I guess he definitely would not have the instinct to hang around in order to mate with females in his own pride! The females should abandon them, ideally speaking....  But, if not, will the Nk male just make himself at home for as long as possible?

Its hard to tell what will happen in this situation.. 

He might try and mate with females, but i think its more likely that he will left with Styx male eventually..based of other examples of this kind, where unrelated young male joins a pride with other young males in it..

For example young male that joined Fourways pride and Solo with Cleo/Leo.. They moved off and formed a coalition.. Reply
