Great update @Tr1x24 as usual. Not knowing the particulars, I have to imagine that the current lion dynamics of Sabi Sands is likely the historically typical layout, with mostly one or two dominant males in smaller areas prior to the arrival of the Mapogos. Perhaps things are returning to some sense of normalcy, this many years later? Reply
