This lioness in the video is in fact one of those original breakaways. This relationship goes some way to explaining why the Nkuhumas have accepted the young Talamati males so easily.

andbeyondKirkmansKamp: here at Kirkman's Kamp bordering the Kruger National Park, we are very lucky that we see different and new animals on a regular basis.
The Fourways Pride - a Pride we rarely see - recently patrolled all the way to our shores of the Sand River. Pictured is a fully grown male Lion, who has joined the Pride and is being seen regularly with them.  *This image is copyright of its original author

The othawa male, this is the Majingilane son? Because he’s quickly becoming my favourite Lion in sabi.

Talamati boy. This is the guy who was trying to mount Nkuhuma Amber Eyes the other day. He better watch out for the Avocas, because they won't hesitate to take him apart if they think he is a threat to one of the lionesses they have mated with. Image by Yvonne KB at Djuma, November 9, 2018

@Pbonz the Avoca males have mated sporadically with the Nkuhumas for the past 3 months or so, without maintaining a continual presence. Individual Avocas have fed side by side with the Nkuhuma sub-adults along with the Manghenis and Talamati male. Perhaps the dynamic would be different if one or more of the Nkuhumas come into heat, but remain with the pride, because initially one or two of the Nkuhumas were mating with the Avocas (including Amber Eyes) well away from the rest of the pride to protect the sub-adults. Current footage from Djuma, credit to Safari Live, 9 November, 2018, edit by Theokulkija:
According to Elephant Plains' Ranger reports the young Talamati males were kicked out of their natal pride when the Avoca males starting making advances. Since then Talamati females have been mating regularly with the Avocas, which has taken pressure off both the Nkuhumas and Styx pride, booth of whom have sub-adults fathered by the BBoys that they want to protect. https://www.elephantplains.co.za/big-5-blog/category/ranger-reports/
Southern Avocas. K for kill or be killed; the first of two lions that we tracked. Overnight he and and his brother had killed a water buck, and he was busy feasting when we found him. Look at them belly — FULL. Images by flawfulwritings at Krikman's Kamp, November 8, 2018

Wow. So the males will eat with other males without killing them or forcing them out sometimes? That’s good for the young sub adults. The other adults you mentioned are full males now? And still share.
What happened to the really mangey looking lions. |
