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.

SafariExpert found Blondie alone on a foray in the south, and then both Birminghams. No mention of how far they were from each other.

@Tonpa thanks for the map. I, however, asked this guide called Diffmarimane again about Ronson property and he said this not Robson property. Anyway, he's not 100% sure that it was PC males that had travelled there, just saw tracks were seen going into Ronson property from western sector (his words).  We will wait and see to find their latest whereabouts.

Avocas might have killed the Kambula cubs

So much for the idea that Mohawk and Blondie were only trying to extend their territory.

The sole motive behind cub killing is just removing competition. So it doesn't say much about why they were there in the first place. 

The cub isn't yours, so you kill it.

In any case, if cubs were killed.
Its a sad reminder that these animals aren't the princes and noble kings people make them out to be.

According to Safari Expert, this is false and it was a meal they stole which was why she was distressed. Even if it was true, this isnt the Lioness with the 5 cubs eithed so if they came across cubs, it might have been small cubs that she was hiding

Male lions territory is not much about piece of land itself, but about controling pride(s) which operates in this piece of land and if males want to takeover pride they have to kill cubs which are in the pride.

@Potato , my friend, you hit on exactly what I was referring to. However, it sounds now as if no cubs were killed. But, I agree entirely, if the cubs were killed it would likely be in a takeover of the pride, as opposed to to a simple land expansion, as some had believed the Avocas were up to.

Truly amazing how Tinyo resemblances a lot to HB and the old Skybed males. What a stunning specimen he is. Although he is looking really tough and with a lot of cuts in these times, In my personal opinion  he look even much impressive right now

Lions will kill cubs that aren't part of their group whenever they run into them. Regardless of circumstance.
Even if this was just about land or they were just lost. They would have killed them if given the chance. 

So it doesn't really say anything about the Avoca's intentions at all.
