Special thanks to Umbabat for the update. A strange issue occurred when I posted the link from my iPhone. I had to switch to my other phone to fix it. Thank you for letting me know links not were showing good

 (08-01-2023, 01:33 AM)Well, I don\t think you can compare exactly. These boys are Ross Legacies, from fierce males, but also they were raised directly by them, where they could observe their aggressive actions and learn from them, too.Breakaway groups tend to sometimes be more cautious, wary. They were raised alone, no males around to observe and learn from. These coalitions always remember being mostly with lionesses and on the run from other males.... This is not the case in every coalition, but we can see a pattern. The Shish coalition took a LONG TIME finally gaining a pride for four males and being blood brothers. They are already 9 and have yet to have two year old sub offspring....yet they were raised by their fathers and not in some breakaway pride. We wouldn't knock them just because they took their time in taking over prides. Look at them now! Sometimes it also depends on luck and having more of an eagerness to explore (this being related to confidence).

Special thanks to Umbabat for the update Guide was talking that they cought one of the two dominant males? Are River males down to two at the moment? Also Nharhu male used to be dominant male of Western pride so far. Perhaps in fact it was Nharhu male who get cought not one of the Rive males. 
As if things weren’t interesting enough…..Ross Males after Mayambula ??? Where the heck are Sindsiza and Rhasa?

Special thanks to Umbabat for the update Who knows - Thus far any theory might be. Today Ryan will send me a few pics and videos of the fight. Hopefully we can get a proper ID.
A recent sighting of the 6 Birmingham breakaway young males at Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
They were found on Vlakgezicht fairly close to the Tswane cut line and fairly close to (Bateleur) Photo credits: Rob Mackintosh Timbavati August 2023  *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
Birmingham breakaway's on a massive stroll. Had them south west the day before and they walked north east before they swing south east again. I am sure the Ross males thought they were crazy. They picked up on the Monwana pride and the Ross males chased them far up to the north east. I could not believe the pace these 2 males kept and distance covered in such a short period of time. ( I did post a short reel of the Monwana's running earlier the week)
