Lions of Sabi Sands

[RookiePundit]

Was it specifically said it was dominant tumbela (aka Skorro Jr.)? I mean we all kind of expect it to be him, but so far I think I've read only "tumbela male" which could theoretically be either of the two. Technically Limper is a dominant male from Tumbela coalition too.

Either way it is a problem. Plain Camps somewhat remind me Southern Avocas in the sense they seem to always stick together so yeah, it is in theory 2 vs 2 but there is a possibility Plain Camps finding out 2 vs 1 in their favour and even if Limper would wholeheartedly take part in the fighting they are still rather favourites - if they managed to find a confidence to do this and stick together only their inexperience in such fights goes against them (and they took part in killing a lion before at least). Tumbelas are not much more experience though, at least on the winning side of it, we don't know what they experience in Kruger.

I find it hard to root for them but Plain Camps ruling over Northwestern Sabi Sands and Ndhzengas in the centre should be good for lion ppopulation of Sabi Sands - genetic diversity and stability wise. The 3 new males finding their place would not be bad either (ideally if they can magically exchange places wth Tintswalos in Manyeleti without any bloodshed that would be great gentic diversity wise, but currently virtually impossible). Plain Camps also have potential for great healthy physical appearance due to who sired them, they seem to be missing just darker shades of manes now and that should come with time, hopefully there is nothing wrong with them they could pass on.
