So they’re not affiliated with a pride. And, and so the way they were seen in, in some countries in Africa is they were a nuisance. These pairs of boys didn’t have an impact on the population. They weren’t part of the genetic input, but they were moving across the landscape and making mischief killing farm animals. And so they were seen as something that needed to be removed. Well, some of our genetic work indicated that the cubs in these prides of lions may not have been the progeny or weren’t the progeny of the pride male, but they were perhaps the progeny of these males that moved across the landscape and, and were just passing through. And so we discovered something different about genetics and gene flow. And so rather than confining a pride or groups of pride into a zoo setting, how do we mitigate the removal of some of these males that were unbeknownst to us part of an important part of the genetics of the lion population.
