WSM controlled the Ximhungwe pride, and the Othawa Pride ( where Split Rocks come from ) lived close by. Split Rocks sired BB's daughters.

Some say Split Rocks resembled WSM a lot, if they were sired by WSM it'd add more inbreeding anyway.

So bascially a lot of this inbreeding was caused by the WSM having too many decendents that didnt move off to to other areas and stayed in SS. At least it doesnt seem to have too big of an impact as the lion population remains thriving, mostly due to the totally unrelated genes of Majingilane, Matimba, N'was, PCM etc

And don't forget the Birminghams, probably one of the most successful coalitions in terms of siring offspring.

True and probably the number 1 coalition but they also were involved in the inbreeding with the nkuhuma pride and the torchwood pride Reply
