The Matimba coalition

[Mapokser]

@Tr1x24 damn those Skybeds had fabulous manes, no wonder Matimbas had big manes too.

I also agree we can use face similarities to guess who the father is as long as we have evidence the father is a member of the coalition who sired them.

Edit: also from the earlier discussion on their age it was clear HB was quite younger than the others to a point others had perfect hairlines while he still was starting to grow a mohawk so I doubt any of the others were his littermate.

Edit 2: Not sure about lions but from my experience with cats I feel it's common to have different fathers in the same litter. My current cat cubs themselves, 2 surviving cubs, the male is a copy of the fully black cat ( looks like a panther ) who also lives here, and the female a copy of my brownish cat who died recently, both indistinguishable from their apparent fathers in face and fur, also same eye color with just slightly different shades, but are littermates. I also know the mother definitely mated with both the black and brown cats as she would very aggressively chase any cats male or female that sneaked in close to the cubs but never the black and brown cats who even showed some affection towards the cubs once or twice.

I've seen many cat litters be born and I'm confident they often have different fathers. Reply
