It's specially weird because it was an impala so many lions fighting or interacting over an impala just bizarre.

At this point I think it was mere coincidencde, both were hungry and took advantage of that kill. But if the Tsalala males feel tolerant, then maybe the youngsters will follow them as stay as a unit, but then it's all relative, anything could happen and if, say, the Birmingham males come back and chase all of them off then they could just disband and go off each on their own direction.
Yesterday or maybe this morning, the 3 Avoca young males were in Djuma and were seen by the Safari Live.

Best Heard with volume up!! Lex And Chris had the privilege of watching 3 male lions proclaiming their stake of Africa. They are newcomers to the northern Sabi Sands, making the lion dynamics in the area very interesting!!! Avoca young males. Click on it to play.

We found three male lions fast asleep on the sand. These are not the resident territorial males but a new coalition to the area known as the AVOCA Males. We spent a short time with them before hearing that a male leopard had been seen nearby that had disappeared. We spent 30 minutes trying to help relocate the leopard but the lush grass made this difficult and we decided to head back to the lions before dark. We managed to get some back-lit shots of the lions as they slowly woke up, yawned and stretched. After a good hour with the lions we headed back to camp for a well deserved dinner.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
"After a long wait I finally got the opportunity to get to Leopard Hills in the Sabi Sands. We had an amazing sighting this morning as 9 lions pulled down a large female buffalo . It was an amazing experience to watch them devour the buffalo and as you can see this young male was definitely keeping an close eye on our vehicle."

Mhangeni brothers the morning after they took a baby buffalo from a herd in Sabi Sabi last month.
