There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Nhenha, not Tinyo..Tinyo was attacking her aswell..

Tinyo wasn't atacking her either. From Londolozi blog (https://blog.londolozi.com/2020/05/25/tsalala-and-cub-update/):

"Despite how it may appear in the video, the Birmingham males didn’t seem to want to actually attack her themselves. One of them was only interested in mating with one of the Ntsevu females (Nhenha), and the other (Tinyo) who seemed to be involved at the centre of the whole thing, looked like he was almost acting as a peacemaker, reluctant to engage with the Tsalala female, and even swatting out at some of the Ntsevu lionesses."

That was what Londolozi said but MalaMala said Nhenha was trying to keep them out at first from the west, you even saw at the start of the video how he was chasing and attacking the pride and even making Tinyo back up but they still ended up going there. Regarding Nhenhas interest, If all Nhenha was interested in was the Ntsevu female, he wouldn't have involved himself at all and stayed with the Lioness instead but he was chasing the pride away. Like I said he was confused. He was chasing the pride away from her but not letting Tinyo anywhere near the lioness he was mating with. It was instincts vs thoughts. Nhenha and Tinyo also seemed to be have a single mindset when it came to the lioness. Nhenha didn't attack Tinyo whatsoever despite having high testosterone due to mating. Unlike during the Mangheni, Kambula incident. Nhenha was trying to pull the Mangheni lioness away from the pride but Mfumo attacked her so Nhenha attacked him. The Birmingham did good jobs in keeping the Mangheni and Tsalala safe from the Kambula. The Majingilane ended up killing the Xhimungwe lioness when the Othawa caught her.

They didnt have run in with Avocas before.. The 2 that chased them before where not Avocas, because that happend west of Skukuza on S1, waay out of Avocas territory.. 

Also Dominant Nwaswitshaka was seen in Kirkmans Kamp before..
Didn't know that. Saw all those video claiming that they were the S.Avocas. Assumed it took place in the Kruger east of Kirkman's.

Yea, first reports where that they are "most likely" S. Avocas, but then later came out video of that chase with description that this happened on S1, near Kruger Gate.. thats around 10 or more Km out of S. Avocas territory.. I dont know who that 2 males where, but based of area, those where most likely DeLaporte males..

Are the Northern Avocas the fathers of her cub?

Tintswalo had sightings of Avoca and xhimhungwe in March 2019 and September 2019 so Avoca males are most likely the father of her cubs. Xhimhungwe have been fairly nomadic and mated with other males. So it's a 50/50

She was seen on wildearth in very bad shape before she died. No major injuries as far as I remember, just very weak and skinny.
