Dunno which one, but there are some young females that are over 3 years old and the sister of Birmingham Young Male has two subadults that are already over two years old.

Interesting development here. If Mbiris takeover Birmingham pride, it will be good for genetics as Ross males will start to inbreed with their daughters if they remain in powerl

I remember someone on here (don't recall who), saying it was supposedly not harmful when it happens one generation out (fathers/daughters), though obviously not preferable. I do hope that there are scientists on the ground studying Loonkito, the 19 year old wild lion. He is, apparently, now breeding with his great grand-daughters. Given I somehow doubt we will have another opportunity to observe this in nature again, I believe that situation is an incredible learning opportunity, to study the actual effects of this behavior.
