@Mdz123 Lambile passed away late last year then Mandevu & Ncila abandoned Mbiri Pride and moved into Kruger. They are now dominant over Skorro Pride. Reply

It's fascinating to hear about the dynamics and changes within the Sweni Lion Pride and the impact of the Mayambula male lions. The observation of the lionesses and young males from the mega Sweni Pride suggests a healthy continuity of the pride despite the significant territorial shifts and leadership changes.
The fact that the Mayambula males took over a splinter group of the Sweni pride and then moved westward indicates a strategic expansion and a potential consolidation of their territory. The absence of the three original Sweni pride males adds a layer of mystery to the story, but the emergence of a new generation of Sweni males in good health is indeed a positive sign for the pride's future.
Lions are known for their complex social structures and territorial behaviors, and this narrative reflects those intricate dynamics. The stability and health of the new generation could hint at successful adaptation and resilience within the pride. It's a reminder of the ever-changing and captivating nature of wildlife behavior and the importance of ongoing observation and study.

Yes, Ncile and Mandevu have taken over the natal pride of their own sire, Skorro Thandi Impi.  While still a bit of inbreeding for sure, it's not on par with the inbreeding that was happening with the Mbiris, their own natal pride.  

Their half-bro, the Tumbela Male, is not so lucky....as he was paired with weaker partners.  Maybe at least 2/3, if not all 3, can finally expand the direct bloodline of their sire.  

Any news about cubs from the Skorro Pride?  Or is it early days yet? Reply

Could this deteriorated warrior in his last moments be the long missing Dreadlocks DeLaporte/Nkhulu?

It looks like his mane in previous months before he went missing... Still trying to get confirmation if the male died or the poster was exaggerating.

If that is him, then not only was the S Avocas beating life altering, but he is an incredibly tough male to have made it for so long in such condition. Reply

I am sharing this post for you, to avoid issues with the rule on double posting. I would ask, if you wish to do this in the future, please feel free to contact one of the Mods, and if deemed appropriate, I am sure we can get it shared in a second thread. I understand why you did it, with not being sure if it is him, but we do have that rule. Thanks! Posting this for @Ngonya
