is almost over, at least as dominant males. 
Today was posted in the Sabi Sabi facebook page that the Charleston males

have been seen roaring and scent marking in what is part of Sand river territory, "sending one of the Sand River males running for the hills" as they wrote.
If you recall, already one of the Sand river males had a confrontation with one of the Charleston males over a kill, with the youngster making a fairly good stand against the older male.

Now, both those actions of roaring and scent marking are a very powerful statement, sending their intentions of staying for good in the territory.

In a related subject, the same is happening for the Fourways males. They had their honey moon with lionesses of the Souther pride, and then they left them to find each other, strenghten their bonds and keep going in their conquest of the Sand river territory.

I'm beginning to wonder if the confrontation between the young males, any of them, and the Sand river males will take place, but if it doesn't, it's good to know that this good looking lads are bringing new blood to the territory, and hopefully soon we will have some lovely cubs carrying Fourways and Charleston blood.
