There should be 5 males from 2021 based of this picture:  *This image is copyright of its original author We can clearly see 5 males around the same size, with 1 male being bigger (3rd young male from Mapoza). Thats prob the male who dominated Birmingham Nephew and often hangs alone. Idk if he is part of these 4 who are in SS, or if he is alone?.     
Hello friends.
I want to share a finding, actually I don't know if someone noticed this before. I was researching Plains Camp pride, which required some effort because it's a pride with scarce reports. I found pictures from december 2020, of 3 cubs sired by Southern Avocas (the one on the left is the "PC young male") with the last Eastern Bank female, who joined Plains Camp pride (I will explain this in a new Lion Tales post soon). Well, I noticed that the cub at the middle has an spot on the right eye iris.

Identical whisker pattern. Credits Jiaso Yu  *This image is copyright of its original author Same Spotted Iris female on 2023 (zoom into her right eye)  *This image is copyright of its original author Same female on 2024  *This image is copyright of its original author So... we have a S. Avoca daughter of 2019 generation living in PC pride. I have more IDs of PC pride females, that I will post later.
It is well known that PCM left their natal pride, ousted by S. Avocas, along with 2 sisters sired by Mantimahles. Through some research, I could ID both females, both of them returned to their natal Plains Camp pride.
PCM Sister #1: "Eye Scar" lioness She is easiest to identify. This female has an "arachnid" shape scar on the inner corner of her left eye. April-May 2020: Eye Scar with 1/2 PCM during their nomadic phase  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author December 2020 3.5 years old - With a big battle scar on her forehead  *This image is copyright of its original author June 2021 - 4 years old - Screenshot from this video where she appears with S. Avocas and PC pride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1X3RDMpBZg (from 1:50)  *This image is copyright of its original author July 2022 - 5 years old: In the background, second generation of S. Avoca offspring. She was mother of some of those cubs.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author November 2023  *This image is copyright of its original author Last sighting, Feb 2025 https://www.instagram.com/p/DF-mRL-Nc5t/...ODBiNWFlZA==  *This image is copyright of its original author Tomorrow I will share the ID of her sister!
PCM Sister #2: "2nd Mantimahle Daughter"
This lioness was also seen with PCM ins SS during, their nomadic times. She was rather difficult to identify, because she doesn't have any striking feature, therefore, ID is based mainly on whisker pattern that somone posted long ago: https://web.facebook.com/groups/25724698...7007779222  *This image is copyright of its original author May 2020 *Wound on the right front leg  *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 June 2021: 2nd Mantimhale daughter (4 years old), followed by S. Avoca subadults and the PC pride matriarch:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
