I think they are territorial already (or atleast some of them) for few months now (they chased 3 territorial males), but they are yet to land full time pride.

Not sure on their status with Imbali females, they should give birth to them.

You may well be right, I mentioned territorial/dominant, as typically being territorial involves remaining in a particular territory for extended periods, which I have not seen from them, these boys have been quite atypical from the start, they seem to be, instead, constantly moving. If they are territorial, then their territory extends from Manyeleti all the way into north SS, a rather large territory. As for dominant over prides, again, they come in, run off dominant males (to date having only driven off solo males), mate with a few lionesses, and they are off moving again. I do not know if they have even returned to any of the prides they have mated with, once they have left. I would love to see them settle, provide some longevity and security to some of the prides involved, for sure, and begin building a legendary legacy, but we haven't seen it just yet. Their Kruger brethren seem quite the opposite. Reply
