TOUGH DAYS UPON 4 EASTERN BANK MALES
1 EBM was heavy injured what it seems to be a territorial fight against multiple enemies, its hard to tell bu its seems that this injuries will be fatal at the end, especially if he doesnt find his brothers and prides soon:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author And other sick/wunded male who somebody post a video few days ago in that area, is another 1 EBM:  *This image is copyright of its original author It seems that they are getting pick up 1 by 1 by invading males, territorial males even when in a big coalition often patrol alone, or some males stay with prides, so its easier for invading males to pick them off as they invade as a gruop. So this once powerful coalition of 5 males soon could be down to only 2. Its unknown which males are invading their territory, maybe 5 Mpondo males pushing further south? Or 2 Thomson males which Mpondos pushed into EBM territory, or some new nomadic coalition? We'll see. But this Toulons sons wont back down against any opponent , they will fight and die in a most honorable death that male lion can have, death in battle.

Image By: Hanno Erasmus.  *This image is copyright of its original author PD: A few days ago I shared here a video link where two of these males were seen marking territory and with full pansas but the link disappeared from their home page and I decided to remove it from the forum. If I find it I share it again. This image is just from that moment when they marked some bushes on the side of the road, this was seen in the video that I mentioned.

1 of the 2 Leeupan males with Mazithi pride around Tshokwane :
 *This image is copyright of its original author Old Lubyelubye male:  *This image is copyright of its original author 1 of the 4 young Jock Males:  *This image is copyright of its original author 1 of the Styx males coalition partner near Skukuza:  *This image is copyright of its original author Its very strange that he was seen that far north, they where around s26/Mpondo dam, but with Mpondo males going south in Jock and Afsaal area, those 4 males might try establish themself in old Mpondo territory. Its unknown if the other 3 where with him, but there was sighting of 3 males today just little south of where this guy was:  *This image is copyright of its original author But i think those are DeLaporte dam males who are resident males in this area, with Hildas Rock male on the left, Three Tooth Tsalala middle and Dreadlocks right.
Territory as piece of land is worthless. It is all about the prides and as far as I know neiter Styx's male coalition nor De Laporte Dam males do not controll any pride so far. Do you know what prides are in arena where those two coalitions are present?

Do you know what prides are in arena where those two coalitions are present? No, idk which prides are in this area, but that doesnt mean that there isnt prides and they dont control some. DeLaporte coalition where seen with lionesses few times. Styx males coalition we seen for the first time few months ago, theres 0 info of them, that doesnt mean that they dont have any prides, its more likely that coalition of 4 has prides then not. Prides in a areas without a Camps are not named in Kruger,you can see that prides which are known in Kruger are mostly around Camps. For example even for famous and big coalitions like Mantimahles we dont know for sure how many prides they have, i know for Sand River (its a word that they abandon them as older lionesses died), Nkhulu pride and Plains Camp pride, but somebody said that they control 5 prides in total. All this 3 prides are around camps so we know about them.
Sand River Pride, near Kirkmans Kamp:
 *This image is copyright of its original author Sighting of 8 subadults around 3-4 yrs old, 5 females and 3 young males, their mothers 2 SR females died not long ago, due to an old age prob (i think 1 lioness was around 15 yrs old), their fathers Mantimahles seems to not visit them anymore because of that. Females will be ready to mate in a year or so and carry on the pride, and 3 boys will prob leave them aswell in that time.
