Neither of them is guaranteed to stay is Sabi Sands or even reach to adulthood. There were similar talks about older Mhangenis and older Talamatis conquering Sabi Sands or Avoca males conquering Timbavati, but with the nomadic males you will never know where they will settle untill they will make terrytorial challange. Trying to predict how will male lion dynamic look like in the coming 4 years or so is usseles as there can be totally different male lions in the arena than we new expect to be, same as now there are totally different coalitions in region we would 4 years ago expect to be there.

Those times where different.. When Mhangenis, Talamatis and Styx males reach "nomadic" phase.. All but south Sabi Sands was conquered by Majingilanes, Birmingham Boys and 2 monstruos S. Matimbas moving around, and theres no way they could beat them..

All of those young males moved towards south of Sabi Sands where lion coalitions where smaller/weaker and later on they moved further in Kruger, because they couldn't beat 2 powerful Charlestons even in the south..

In 1-2 years, when those Othawa, Kambula and Talamati yougster will reach nomadic phase, you will have 2 old Bboys, HB will prob be gone, Tumbelas will prob stay in the west, lone Othawa male and 3 split N. Avocas.. Those coalitions will be nowhere near the power of Majingilanes and Bboys.. So some of those youngsters could have a shot in central and northern Sabi Sands, while Nwaswitshaka will prob dominant south..

I know its unpossible to predict, some of them will prob gone to Kruger, but those youngsters will certaintly have better chances to stay in Sabi Sands then those before, because this days theres no big and powerful coalitions around..

Just look at Monwana and Xikukutsus males, they barely moved out of their natal areas and are dominant, because theres no big dominant coalitions around them.. Reply
