Othawa Pride

[RookiePundit]

I agree, luckily the usual patern of new males arriving into Sabi Sands from Timbavati trhough Manyeleti has stopped for now (only 2 of Black Dam young males visited briefly some months ago, iirc) and new influx of males is now from southern direction (Ndzhengas, Plain Camps, Gijimas if they establish themselves after all). Sabi Sands is quite full so hopefully new generation of males born thre will indeed move off unlike Tintswalos in Manyeleti. Othawa pride, to stay on topic, and its neighbouroughing prides/individuals has provided some opportunities, but it being bit isolated area, to get there is nto a given for wandering males and they are more likely to find ooportunities elsewhere first (northeastern Sabi Sands, southern Manyeleti and possibly adjacent area in Kruger have rather smaller coalitions (of 1 often) so any males having numbers and confident to challenge for a takeover have their chances there or rather could easily lure some females off existing prides creating another breakaways. Skorro Jr. is boxed in but likely won't have influx of new potential challengers (outside of native Sabi Sands young males perhaps) and will have the same troubling neighbours for a while. Or not we never know what will happen. Reply
