I know the Fourways pride is elusive and difficult to keep track of, but anyone have any idea which males the lionesses might be daughters of? Obviously the Kruger males were dominant for a while but I'm not sure how old daughters of theirs would be be now. Aha so they would just be old enough to be accepted by the males now, but they have cubs that are at least a few months old... so maybe it's not them, and is indeed a breakaway group or some part of the Torchwood pride. It's a shame Mala Mala doesn't show the map location before each encounter anymore as that would give more of a clue as to which pride they were.

And they're in Londolozi so they could clash with Kambula Boys, Nwaswitshaka/Ndzhenga Males, PC Males, Black Dam Males, Talamati Boys. Hope the fathers around here are on guard. 
"Over the weekend we were spoilt with various sightings of the Gijima males and Southern Pride. Occupying the southern parts of the reserve around our private airstrip, they moved during daytime where they were successful in bringing down a big warthog that served as a sufficient meal. After the males and females had their share, they moved to the side panting heavily. The cubs saw this as their opportunity to get their piece of the kill. They were very active trying to get meat off the carcass but with their teeth still developing they couldn’t get much. They soon moved closer to their mother to drink and fill their bellies with the right nutrition."

With the Nkhulus in the heart of the reserve, literally everybody is at risk now, not only Gijimas and Avocas.
Even the Nkhulu's half-brothers in the western part of SS might find themselves in trouble. I hope the dominant coalition can deal with them before it's too late.

Gijimas and S.Avocas showed that Nkhulus are not ready yet. Nkhulus even bypass/avoid them and are exploring further north atm. And if there is only 3 Nkhulus here, i dont think there is any reason for territorial coalitions to be concern of at this point. Sabi Sands is currently "hot spot" for up and coming nomadic coalitions, Nkhulus, Kambulas, Talamatis, lone NK and Skorro male. Tension is building, this is too much males/coalitions in small area, clashes and prob deaths will happen.

I think the only really worrying point at the moment would be with the prides, the vast majority have cubs and due to the amount of males circulating around they are very exposed, the fact that the dominant coalitions have few numbers being briefly a pair, makes them can't cover their territory and defend their pride so effectively, if they stay together I don't see these males being dethroned for now, but prides can suffer irreparable damage even with dominant males

I believe that it has been said that they haven't even really been 6 brothers for some weeks. I think it was said that 2 of them were sickly or showing signs of not getting food. When Dreadlocks bought it, there were only 4 brothers with him at that fight. So if only 3 are venturing north who knows now I guess.

At this Londolozi video there are: - 1st male is one with slight limp (slightly unhealthy one, he looks better now tho) - 2nd is the most famous Snip Tailed one - 3rd is 1/2 blondish "twins" So there is no : oldest/biggest Smudge Nosed one, 1/2 "twins" and youngest/unhealthy one. They still might be scattered from S.Avocas encounter.

I guess the question here is... does this end up a fight between them and the BDM's/N'Was/or PCM? Or do they end up in a battle with one of the other 4+ lion nomad groups rolling around?

Give or take half a year?  (06-19-2023, 10:40 PM)Mapokser Wrote: With the Nkhulus in the heart of the reserve, literally everybody is at risk now, not only Gijimas and Avocas. Definitelly. With their numbers Nkulus can roll over any current coalition of SS and probably soon will take out at least one currently dominant coalition. I do not think loosing De Laporte male will hold them back at all. |
