Kambula/Ntsevu males

[NLAL11]

Steve tried tracking the Nkuhumas from where they were with them last night, but were unsuccessful. Tracks indicated that they were moving in a north-east direction. The Kambulas came from the east, from the Torchwood area. There was a poll on which viewers voted for which coalition they wanted to settle on Djuma: 60% voted for Kambulas, 25% voted for Mohawk and sons (???) and the PC males and BD males both got 7.4%.

It's tricky because from a purely genetic standpoint, yes the PC males are completely unrelated to the Nkuhumas so they are the best. But if it comes at the cost of prides in the west being decimated/splintered its not great for the local lion population. While the Kambulas, although partly related to some of the females (not all), would be better for the overall lion population, as they would most likely force the PC males back into the west, continuing the growth and development of all prides. The Kambulas are almost completely unrelated to Amber Eyes two daughters, and share maximum 25% genes with the 2021 girls. Which hardly counts as inbreeding. The biggest issue is the two remaining Birmingham daughters - Pale Eyes and Ridge Nose's daughter - who could potentially share up to 50%. It could also potentially less than that. But as @Mapokser has said, and I've definitely heard Kevin Richardson say this as well, it takes a few generations of proper inbreeding to really cause a genetic problems, so I think they'd be fine.

Steve and Cedric have both said they want the Kambulas to settle, knowing full well that they are sons of the Birminghams, and I have to agree. It's basically overall stability vs maximum genetic diversity. But of course, when have lions ever done what we wanted them to do. Reply
