The blonde Fourways male and Torchwood male return to the leeupan pride- Kruger National Park

The 2 Foruways and Torchwood males currently control the leeupan and Mazithi lion prides, having sired cubs with with the Leeupan pride back in 2020
and the Mazithi pride last year. They have returned to the Leeupan pride to spread their genes for a second round. The original cubs have turned into beautiful sub adults now at around 2 and half years age. It’s the right time for a second generation with the leeupan pride. Having spent the better part of 3 days with the two males and several of the lionesses. The two lionesses that were in the company of the two males were reluctant to mate. Particularly the one in the company of the blonde fourways male. We did see the Torchwood mate on a couple of occasions on day 2 and 3 so we hope to see some new cubs. The blonde fourways male did reunite with his black maned brother a couple of days later near Mazithi dam while the Torchwood male remained around Tshokwane. It will be interesting to see what develops in the next couple of months as we have seen the coalition as far north as the S86 in recent months. Will they try take over another pride further north or try sire a second generation with the leeupan pride while protecting their current cubs with the Mazithi pride.
