Lions of Timbavati

[Potato]

Monwana males were very promising duo. Sad if death of Monwana male will turn out to be true. Also respect for the Sumatra/Hercules for pulling out takeover on Monwanas. They prove to be stronger than expected. Also that puts in another light Mbiri males takeover of Skorro pride. Many considered Sumatra/Hercules  as not too difficult opponents for that Mbiris, but their takeover of Giraffe pride shows they are strong duo, just Mbiris are remarkable and of yet another level duo.

Actually it is common for male lion coalitions to challange for territory at the age of around 4 if they have numerical advantage of 2:1 or more. Beside Monwanas you could look at S Avocas chassiing Matshapiri or Ross  facing Giraffe male and Mabande male. Birminghams were around 4 beside Nsuku when they challanged Matimbas. Majingilanes still had Mohawks manes around 1 year after takeover from Mlovathis so they also could be well before 4 years of age at takeovertime. Mbiris were just over 3 when they chassed Mapoza male through Kings Camp and so on... Reply
