@Potato Indeed. In fact I always thought Shaka was likely the father of both white cubs since both looked like him.

The location and fact it's a white cub all point out to it being a Skorro cub sired by Mongawane.

Other possibilities would be Birmingham pride, or maybe a cub from Mayambula males? Still, I find it very unlikely.

You're correct. Read that confirmation was made on it being a Skorro Pride cub sired by one of the Mongawane males.

Putting it here since they're (SBDM/Avoca) in Kruger and the Imbali males are mentioned as well.

A bit surprising for me that a Kumana male chased a Mayambula considering how precocious the Mayambula males were and the fact they have been dominant for much longer, and are Mbiri's sons, even considering the fact it happened in Kumana territory.

It shows that a son won't be like his father necessarily.

Regardless, with all these big coalitions around, I think it will end up with the Shishagaan being ousted, if they haven't been already by those 3 ( Nsemani male and partners ).

Well, Kumanas are sons of Mluwati males, also legendary lions.

Theres no lion who was not chased of at some point, Mbiris where also chased multiple times.

So Kumanas are territorial over their natal area?

I don't know much about them, where they were born and stuff, but their territory is south of the Shishangaan's in Satara, while Mayambulas are around S126, so they are sort of neighbors.

If that area is their natal area, then I guess they are territorial there.

Every lion got chased at some point, true, but the only time Mbiri got chased 1v1 or 2v2 was when Scar was limping. A Mbiri could have possibly/likely chased that Kumana off, in enemy territory, at the age of 3. But the prime Mayambula couldn't.

But being the sons of Mbiri was just a smaller factor, as it's unreasonable to expect lions to have the same personality as their fathers necessarily. The more important factor was that Kumana are just establishing themselves, being nomads with their father until not long ago and probably not even having to oust males to take over, while Mayambulas became dominant at 3yo, having been ruling for a long time, having cubs already and experience of ousting the 3 impressive Sweni males, so one would expect them to be more confident than a Kumana.

Vlak #2 was seen running in a road, in a "mission" a few weeks ago, and yesterday or so Vlak #1 was also running in the same way through the bush. A few months ago, when Sweni cubs were seen for the first time, Vlak #2 was with them, a bit skinny and limping with injuries to his back and hindlimbs.

Maybe these 2 coalitions have some sort of rivalry already over their borders.
