Where are these guys? do they have a thread of their own now? Whats the coalitions name?

These guys are Mongawane males, composed of Birmingham young male (Avoca/Giraffe son) and Torchwood male (Bboys son).  They dont have a thread yet

I was just reading about this. Post I read implies these two might be looking to take over the Avoca Pride.

The Mongawane boys have been seen mating with Avoca pride lioness but not much serious effort to take the pride has been seen since.    You can follow them better in the Timbavati Thread BTW.

Thank for that. I replied here, because I was replying to a specific post that mentioned it. Reply

On a cold rainy afternoon, we found the Styx Pride soaked to the bone. The cubs snuggled up close together to stay warm, making for a beautiful scene for those brave enough to venture out on safari

the Talamati male that's still with the pride. 

No word of the other one it seems...

"The Unknown Kruger male has persisted in his pursuit of the Southern Pride female over the weekend. We also managed to find her two sub adult cubs a fair distance from these new males."

Full version of events when two young Kambula females tried to have a go at their Aunt. She did very well for herself imo.
Two things i must point out...

- Is that Eorenji chasing Amahle away? They both look identical.
- that huge belly on the female. I think she is pregnant. Was that a kambula sub adult or one of the 6 O.G females? Reply

Looks like amhale chased oe, amhale has a large head Reply

@Hairy tummy thanks! And yes it was Amahle. He has a different "hair line" compared to Eorenji. 


Im glad these boys have the Kambula pride. They are good pride males and good with cubs. Reply

Kambula #6 (infertile) is being attacked by the two daughters of Kambula #2, daughters of the Birmingham Males. OE arrives roaring. Amahle arrives with one of the two daughters of Kambula #1. She is probably in Oestrus or in a false one. Young lionesses tend to have multiple false ones before being fully ready. Kambula #4 is the lioness who was pregnant which makes sense. She and #6 were the first to mate with the Nwaswitshaka because they were with the Avocas. These three young lionesses are turning 4 in June/July.

Status of Kambula females:
Kambula #1 - Main Pride
Kambula #2- Bboys cub protection 
Kambula #3- Bboys cub protection
Kambula #4- Main Pride 
Kambula #5 - Main Pride
Kambula #6- Main Pride

Young Lionesses
Kambula #1 (Daughter #1) - Breakaway
Kambula #1 (Daughter #2) - Main Pride
Kambula #2 (Daughter #1) - Main Pride
Kambula #2 (Daughter #2) - Main Pride 
Kambula #3 ( Daughter) - Breakaway 
Kambula #5 (Daughter) - Breakaway Reply
