Lions of Timbavati

[Ngonya]

"One of the Birmingham Breakaway Males calling to establish their presence and dominance in the area after a run-in with a few other young male Lions. (Monwana)
This coalition of males are far from settled down in any particular territory, but they make themselves known wherever they end up.
Incredible to have watched them go from members of the pride to nomadic males trying to stake their claim in the Timbavati."

Yea looks like Monwana young males will need to move from this area as long as Birmingham Breakaways are there. Reply

I do not actually know where he is from, just know he was a valued member of the site, and happens to be the person who gave Wonky Eye his name. Reply

Agree with buddy @BA0701, @Tonpa used to provide a lot of novel content. Reply

I wonder is Mapoza linked up with Xikukuzu again and they're in that area? I very much wonder. Reply

Doubt that, their last encounter, and last time Xikukutsus where in Thornybush (2022 or 2023, cant remember) was hostile, Mapoza chased them back south. Reply
