He would not really gone back in North at that time as PCM chased him in the West on January 15 and then his next sighting is with the Kruger Male in the South already having the injuries on February 4, most likely both have gone down the same time or 1 is early than the other and then Kruger Male was sighted alone in North on February 21 per reports of the Elephant Plains. 

Maybe Kruger Male and Southern Avoca have been separated February 4 onwards and that is why Kruger Male was alone at North at February 21

So the mystery dates would be January 15-February 4 & February 4-February 21.

Jan 15 - Southern Avoca chased by PCM at West
Feb 4 - sighted having injuries at South (Umkumbe) with Kruger Male
Feb 21 - Kruger Male reported to be back in North alone with no mention of the Southern Avoca

When I said 'back up north' I meant relatively to Kirkman's Kamp, which is right down in the south of Sabi Sands, and south-east of Umkumbe. Assuming the pictures of him alone at KK were taken first, he was chased out of the west, ended up alone all the way down in KK with fresh injuries, and then later linked back up with the KM in Umkumbe. Now that I think about it it's not so strange, nomads bounce around all over the place, but interesting that he ended up back in his old territory. Reply

Lions tend to return to familiar places when they really are shaken mentally. Reply

I am starting to think that Mohawk is the last, and that isn't even 100% at this point.  He's not seen that much either anymore. Reply
