Avocas all of their lives.  And the boys are still not totally independent as nomads...if they are even considered nomads.  They are being accompanied by their Dad and were back with the pride last week!  The Nkhuhuma young males don't know anything about the harsh life of being nomadic male lions.  They've been very lucky thus far.  However, this could cause them some issues with their development as pride males going forward. We'll see. I also think both of Purple Eyes twins are relatively small.  Lip Scar was bigger than his brother; however, they are both small for their age of 4.5 years old. And of course the youngest boy is very small for his age of almost 3 years old. Wrote: One of the NK females with a bad horn injury to her chest, with her I think it's the almost 3yo NK male:

If not for his balls I wouldn't be able to tell this was a male. It just shows yet again how much quickly the NK Breakaway male sub is developing, as he is almost a year younger than his cousin here but much more well developed.

Seems that the Northern Avocas male offspring have either turned out to be on the bigger or smaller side. Dzwihala, Khanya, Chelas boy, Ridge Nose boy all seem to be massive males but the surviving twin and the 2021 male seem to be on the smaller side. I don’t think Lipscar was a small male but wasn’t as big as his two other brothers so seemed a lil more average in size.

Always wonder with how much adversity these young males going up against, it surely affects their development. Whether this has been scientifically proven or what idk, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Ridge Nose breakaway son has that darkness in his mane already while living a seemingly stress free life before RN died. Obviously genetics plays a part but I believe so does the upbringing.
