There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

No I believe the two young Avocas currently around Londolozi were fathered by the Northern Matimbas but I´m not sure

These guys fathered the acova males that are in sabi sands right now. They also fathered the older avoca males(older brothers of the avocas with the same name still in the Timbavati), the 5 giraffe males, and the young Ross males as well. They lost their territory to the Trilogy males and became nomads, one of them died and the other one is presumed dead.

They fathered the young Mbiri males, there are probably more I don't know of. Its harder to find info on the lions in Timbavati or the Manyeleti, most of the Matimba offspring are fathered by the southern Matimbas in the Sabi Sands or southern Manyeleti area.

But the avoca males still have territory in the north and they are looking to takeover the thanda impi males territory and females. That's why the thanda impi males and the females moved south because they heard the roars of the 3 gigantic avoca males. The avoca males are bigger and stronger.

It's very possible, yes. Mostly considering their size and younger age.

Safari Update


The Thanda Impi male lions were also vocalising before sunrise and gave us a relative idea where to go look for them. We eventually caught up with one of the Boys (Sizanani) close to konkone quarry. Sizanani is maintaining his weakened condition and is only just being able to keep up with his pride members.

It's a perfect opportunity for the avocas to attack the thanda impi males.

From Pondoro Game Lodge:
"The big Mohlabetsi male was seen with the rest of the coalition and looks to be in better condition."

Wow! Thanks for posting! There's no wonder why lions dislocate hips and lose k-9s.
