Yea i remember that, Mohawk as a cub looked close in age to S Avocas. Reply

Didn't I say sometime ago that there were some photos showing Mohawk as a cub being older than the other N.Avoca?


Then it was said that no, that in fact Mohawk was the same age as DM and Blondie. Reply

I was under the impression that the N Avoca’s mothers were twin sisters that gave birth within weeks of each other, approximately 4-6 months after the S Avocas were born. That DM and Blondie are twins and Mohawk may actually be the older of the three by a few weeks. I thought I read recently Mohawk’s paternal sister is still thriving with their natal pride. Maybe I am wrong though? Reply

Resembles atleast to me, the missing S.Avoca. There was some news recently from Stephanie that one of the females that have been mating with the lone PCM, half brother of this boy, has been seen with cubs recently and it's believed that the PCM may be the sire. A shame that all male offspring by N/S Avocas in KNP are already territorial, it especially would've been nice for PCM to link up with the two Sand River boys, but as we constantly see, with a bit of luck, 2 member coalitions can be successful.

Young plain camp male lion; I trust he will do good. 
I feel he is son of Southern Avoca.

I feel you are right; the Sand River male lion looks like Southern Avoca male lion that has not been seen. Reply
