I am not saying there is takeover happening, but there is terrytorial dispute there as Skorro pride is chassing part of Birmingham pride through Birmingham pride territory.

Of course lions do not care about reserve boundarys, but Ngala through past 3 years or so was totally dominated by Ross males with no other dominant males showing themselfs there.

Avocas are in Londolozi and MalaMala, they are invading Bboys"..I do not think those two cases are comparable. It would be if Avocas would chasse around part of Kambula pride.
One of these should be white dot right? She was with their group, anyone see her?

And Mbiris where there also on WildEarth, and thats only what we seen, there where plenty more what we didn't see.. This is just territorial pride chasing subadults, nothing else.. If Ross males where near by they wouldn't come that far east, so this has nothing to do with Ross males or Birmingham prides territory, because those subadults dont have territory..
There was some Ross Male footage published today too

An amazing shot of the Smaller Mbiri male seen a couple of days ago on a territorial patrol near Orpen Gate in the Kruger National Park.

The lone Dundee male was seen recently hunting wildebeest on the Xanatseni Private Camp airstrip. The team have only seen this individual once before in this area last December when he was with with two females from the Balule Pride! Darryn has been seeing regular tracks for a single male, so it could be this boy sticking around… ��Some more interesting news on the lion front, Darryn spotted one of the Vuyela males mating with a female about a week ago.
Thanks for the update Darryn! Image by: Darryn Rentzke.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Have they ever been around ngala before? They were abandoned by the mbiris correct?

Thank you in advance. (03-04-2021, 01:34 AM)Tonpa Wrote: Have they ever been around ngala before? They were abandoned by the mbiris correct? They are in Kruger just north of Ngala and Orpens.. Idk if they are fully abandoned, but in recent months Mbiris are almost always with Skorros, mating. If im not mistaken Mbiris where seen with them few months or so ago, so they prob drag them closer to Skorro's territory, which ofc Skorro females will not like. |
