Coalitions of Kruger National Park

[Brahim]

Recent sighting of the last Eastern Bank male mating with a young lioness from Jock Pride “ she is a daughter of the Thomson males “ she and her sister are a Jock breakaway pride. These two lioness split from Jock pride about a year ago along with four cubs when the new males “ Easter Bank Male & South Shishangeni “ took over the pride to secure their cubs safety. Both lioness were recently seen doing great and all of the four cubs are still alive, these four cubs who are all males were fathered by the Mpondo males. There is also a young male in Jock pride who is son of Thomson males and is a sibling of the two girls of the jock breakaway pride. The young male who is son of Thomson males is treated badly daily by Eastern Bank Male as he is not his son. Hopefully the Boy can overcome this. The breakaway girls sometimes join the core pride time to time but usually run when the dominant males South Shishangeni and Eatern Bank come to protect the young ones.
