This week also saw the reappearance of the Ross and Hercules females as they popped in for a brief period. Both girls were looking in good shape and their bond seemed as strong as any other lionesses, which is fascinating considering they are unrelated. The biggest surprise of the week was the appearance of eight members of the Avoca Pride in the south-west of our concession. Whilst we didn’t venture down to see them, it was interesting to hear that this pride made a very rare and random visit to our area and were encroaching into the Giraffe Pride territory. It seems they were trailing a buffalo herd and this led to them coming north, but time will tell if it was a one-off visit, or not.
Could someone give some background on these two lionesses and how they're related to current males with the same name? Thank you in advance.
The last Ross lioness is most likely the sister of the two Ross males. The age of the Ross lioness seem match with the the age of both Ross males, worn teeth among other characterics. Mostly of the coalitions in the Greater Kruger National Park and KNP get a coalition name according in the pride they were born. Ross males were born into the Ross pride, Hence the name of the Ross coalition comes from. Same for the Torchwood young male or Birmingham young male, As well, For the three River pride, Skorro males, Monwana males & the Black dam young males among others. Regarding the Hercules lioness, I didn't get any pic of her so far. So, once I get pics, We'll guess his age and see if match's with the 'Born timeline' of the Hercules male
