ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - B - THE LION (Panthera leo)

[Tshokwane]

Now that I read this, about the Mapogo part I do know that the Ottawa pride females are daughters of the Mapogo.
That said, I don't know of any male cub that has make it to adulthood.
To compare, the Majingilane males already have two sets of sons that are mature enough to conquer a territory, the Fourways males(two males, a third was killed in a confrontation with the Matimba males) and the Styx males(two males, maybe a third was also killed by bigger males). And in the Sparta pride 3 young males are almost at the age of being expelled from the pride and becoming nomads.
A real shame that much of the Mapogo inter-conflicts did this, considering how magnificent this males were.
