Avoca Male Lions and Their Male Lineage
|
Interesting travels by the S.Avocas. They traveled about 30 miles from their territory that’s quite a distance. I guess time will tell if they decide to try their luck in new territory or return to the old. They still look to be in fantastic condition, but holding off bigger and younger coalitions who are encroaching on their territory will continue to be difficult, maybe even impossible. Hope they don’t run into any trouble during their explorations and remain safe.
I feel like after the somewhat deciding move with the beating of Dreadlocks and scattering the Nkhulu's, they should be sticking to their guns. In that clip, the Avoca in the back was scent marking so they definitely aren't tuck-tail in completely unfamiliar territory. They weren't seen at Kirkman's regularly anyway so this probably isn't as far out of their territory as it might seem. They'll definitely be back.
They'll be regretting not having finished off DeLaporte which would have made their job slightly easier.
My guess is that they're nomads now, even if they return it'll be a Tumbela/Mohawk scenario where they won't act fully territorial anymore. Speaking of nomadhood, considering how these Avocas travel a lot, imagine if they return to northern Sabi Sand and meet up with nomadic Mohawk, that'd be crazy, though there's no way they'd know each other.

Mohawk still has it in him! Showing massive confidence and speed this 10 year old looked as if he was still in his prime. He has been vocalising all night after seeing him all afternoon yesterday! Such a cool cat!

After all this time I stumbled across the clip that had the footage of Pretty Boy being attacked by Buffalo and was almost killed. I've added this to the Mapogo thread for you :) https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-the-mig...#pid191927   
Does it have footage of him being killed??? Still haven't been able to watch any because I assumed they have that in it.
