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.

Male lion bloodline

Can anyone provide a complete timeline and bloodlines of Sabi Sands lions?  Who related or sired who?

Also on cannibalism, which offspring chased off/kill their elders/relatives?  I am reading a lot of different stories and curious.  When a male lion kills another, can't he detect (in a strange animal way) if his victim is blood related?  Thanks.

If the intention is to know the offspring as to kinship, in order to follow up the power takeover, the overlapping groups think it possible to get information up to 3 or 4 offspring, older data and the constant flow of migration makes this information unlikely. Knowing the history of the lionesses of a group is relatively easy, the problem is knowing about the origin and filiation of the usurping males, and so on .....


Lions identify their relatives or unrelated members of their group by odor, vocalizations, among other information that are not measurable by humans. As in all species, social interaction is their primary source of identity, group formation. It has been documented that some lionesses mate with nomadic males, return to their group, have pups and they are protected naturally by the dominant male(s).


I do not believe there is a complete mapping that indicates the co-descent of the Sabi Sands lions or any private reserve that is part of the Great Kruger. Recent history indicates that these private reserves (Sabi Sands, Kapama, Umbatat, Timbavati, Klaserie, Manyelete, Balule etc) used Kalahari and Etosha lions to compose their groups of lions before being "added to Kruger." In recent studies on the genetic mapping of lions throughout Africa, notably the studies of Dr. Laura D. Bertola and other researchers have identified that all lions in southern Africa belong to the same lineage, and particularly the use of lions of these Two parks (Kalahari and Etosha) have already mingled across Krueger in a rapid work of miscegenation, so there are no genetic differences between these groups of lions. I would like to point out that unique genes have been identified but do not justify classifying them into subspecies, implying no particular locality in terms of conservation.

Very interesting. My guess is those interested in lions wouldn't object when you add a bit more.
