There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

That is what guide wrote exactly:
"We can’t help but wonder if they have noticed the absence of the Guernesy and Young Avoca males after the Mbirhi males killed one and chased the other off. Those males had posed a threat to all of these cubs for months, and the pride is now much safer with them gone."
saying "terrorizing" indicate there were some actual encounters between Guernesy, Avoca males and the Birmingham pride which is not the case as Guernesy and Avoca males were spending their time in Shindzela, not Ngala. Guide rather clearly indicates that their presence in the region itself was a threat for Birmingham pride, not that Guernesy and Avoca males were terrorizing Birmingham pride

I guess you forgot that G/A attacked Birmingham pride and cubs few months ago when Shaka was seen injured near by? And females themselves managed to fend them off..
And now again tried to kill the cubs but Mbiris stand in.

Obiviously we are not getting daily, or even weekly updates from Ngala about lion dynamics.
Just because we only have info about certain situations it doesnt mean that more was not going on.
And this is not only from Ngala, but from every reserve, some reserves put more info out, some less.
And even these who put regular info out, can miss some big things what happens, especially at night when lions are more active.
G/A where mating with Birmingham females towards the end, and where in Ngala/Shindzela area for many months, its very unlikely they encountered Birmingham pride only once before final clash.

Neither it means more was going on

No, they were mating with Birmingham breakaway lionesses, a different pride owned by Ross males. On top of that it was on Shindzela not on Ngala so far enought from Mbiri males and Birmingham pride territory.

They were in Shindzela arena, not in Ngala.

Considering there was: no single report or any other signs of those males clashing with Mbiri males nor with Birmingham pride, not a single report of them even crossing into Ngala and that they were regulary seen on Shindzela property it is very likely that this single encounter that was reported was the only one that happened.
Birmingham Pride of lions
