Dudley Riverbank 5:5 Young Male Family Tree
In June 2011, he mated with the Vomba 3:2 Female in the eastern section of her territory. It is still unclear whether she gave birth to his cubs or another males as it is a noted tactic of this leopard to mate with many males so as to ensure her cubs remain protected by the males in whose territories she resides.

On the 11th of April Dudley River Bank 5:5 was seen interacting with Camp Pan around Elmons Kraal (in the heart of Camp Pans territory). It looked like Camp Pan had come off second best and was sporting a few wounds. Could this be a change in guard?
On the 13th DRB 5:5 was seen with an unknown 4:3 female on Lower River Road and although we didn’t see them mating, it may just be the 2nd female he mates with (he was seen mating with Maxabeni 2:2 Female at the end of October 2010) in Camp Pans territory! Interesting times!
Dudley Rivebank 5:5 was seen this morning in the heart of Camp Pan’s territory, scent marking and vocalising near camp. He was seen interacting with the Vomba female, and apart from a few superficial scars, he looks in good condition after recent fights with Camp Pan.
Does this mean that the battle is won and 5:5 is here to stay? Or will Camp Pan rise again…
More interaction with another male, this time the Marthly male near Plaque Rock. This young upstart is certainly making his presence known. Watch this space!
5:5 seen mating with Vomba this morning. She’s struggled to raise any young recently, could 5:5 help her raise a last little perhaps?
That is interesting.
At Londolozi they say the Newtington male is his father but at Mala Mala http://www.malamala.com/MM7/LEOP_airstripM.html
They say that Shorty ( bicycle crossing male) is hos father ??
