“Tintswalo male; Ncile To be in the first place in the dominance, and then lose it completely is a pity and this is what is happening now with the one who was once the main dominant male in the Tintswalo Alliance of three males, he lost his position after he was exposed to a bad snare that hit his mouth and almost killed him, but he was rescued before several months ago, he recovered, but lost his position, and also lost his control of his brothers and his pride, usually they are aggressive against him. He was seen yesterday in Kruger alone.
Well, if thats the case, that they still act agressive and beat him when he gets closer or deny him access to food, then its better for him to be on his own.
But more recent reports said that they are starting to accept him, so i dont think he will completly abandon them.
So, this isn't the most recent report? I assumed it was. I didn't see a date. Strange to report this after he was starting to get accepted, if not. Otherwise, he was too far on the decline for way too long for them to ultimately accept him back.

Well, i dont consider this as report, he was filmed in Kruger and then they wrote what we already know what happened with Ncila, they didnt see any interaction of Ncila with Mbiris, of which latest reports from Tintswalo say that is getting better.

Mandevu is a gorgeous cat! It’s a pity for Ncile, the snare he had caused on him a significant lost of mane. Glad that he has thrive after the snare was removed.

It's good to see him recovering, but who knows if he'll be 100% again. Hopefully his mane will grow back one day. I don't follow him and his brothers very closely. I was always puzzled why they choose to stay and breed with their natal pride....but this highlights how important older males are in driving off the younger ones when they come of age.
Now there are about 4 cubs? Including the Orpen ones?

The Two Orpen Sub adults and three cubs.
The Tintswalo were actually driven away by the Orpen but the Orpen died very soon afterwards afterwards so they never went far and with no other competition there sort of had the territory theirs for the taking
Great hint by what seems is the entire Mbiri Pride. Even the young cousins wanted in on the action hehehe. While Ncila was not seen in the hunt, he was later captured eating at the carcass.
