Its remarkable to see how N. Avocas pushing down south in the past year or so has effect all the way to Manyeleti, DM moved further south, and Imbali male on his territory around southern Manyeleti which lead to Imbali pride following him, just as Nkuhumas follow Avocas. 

Current dynamics between Bboys - N. Avocas and DM - Imbali male and their prides are quite similar..

I don’t see any similarities between what Mohawk/ Blondie and the situation between DM and Imbali at all. Since January, DM has been spending more time in the south. In fact there has been a huge vacuum in that area for months now. Also I don’t think he’s has even been that interested in the Talamatis for ages although he does meet up with them. These natural instincts are in lions so they don’t just stay with the same pride and inbreed. This pressure is exactly what he needs, even if he doesn’t want it, and to be honest in my opinion is good for his future. There is no future for him trying to stay with his adult daughters from a reproductive stand point. 

Mohawk and Blondie are pushing out males who want to stay and have no back up territories or prides.

Finally, the paternity of the cubs doesnt matter, only who thinks the cubs are theirs. The three older lionesses avoid him and continue to take care of the subs but eventually will accept him if they have no other options. Reply
