RE: The Birmingham Males - Tshokwane - 11-13-2015

Yes, exactly. Mala mala calls the Matimbas Clarendon males.

From Cheetah Plains Private Game Reserve:
The Birmingham male lions were located this morning in Torchwood, along with a lioness, presumably from the Styx pride of lions. The one male was mating with the female, while the others were just resting up. Images by Andrew Khosa

Scott Dyson Safaris:
This lion sure knows how to cast a stare!! Scary thing is he has 4 more coalition members, all of which are proving to be a force to be reckoned with. No other males have disputed their arrival thus far.

Cheetah Plains Private Game Reserve:
These two Birmingham Male lions have been spending some time in Torchwood! It's interesting to watch how they are keeping their territory patrolled - as it stands, two were in Buffelshoek, two in torchwood and one south of our southern boundary! Images by Craig Hamilton

Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge:
With the Birmingham males now being the dominant male coalition in the northern Sabi Sand, they have started mating with the resident female prides. The last few days one of the males and a female from the Styx pride had been seen around Chitwa lodge. With the fact that there is a female in oestrus in the area the other males weren't too far behind their brother. The nights are filled with lions roaring all around the lodge. There are few things as special as dinning in the bush with a chorus of lions serenading you.

He had some injuries, probably fighting against his brothers for mating rights.

Please hear this with a nice set of headphones. Like a comment from Blair Sinclair in facebook said: Loved Blondie on top of the termite mound roarin like "I'm king of the whole damn world bitches"
Jaja great video of the guys roaring.






RE: The Birmingham Males - sanjay - 11-27-2015

Awesome, they are future of Sabi Sand


RE: The Birmingham Males - lioncrazy - 11-28-2015

That must have been amazing to witness in person


RE: The Birmingham Males - Tshokwane - 11-28-2015

Another video, this time a couple of minutes longer, but it's worth it, I promise. 
One of the Birminghams, the same with the swollen eye, begins to awake, cleans himself a bit and then roars three times. Pieter, the presenter of wildearth, explains a bit of the cadence of the roaring, something that's very interesting. Enjoy.






RE: The Birmingham Males - Tshokwane - 11-29-2015

Well, since the brothers are somewhere else, the royal duties go to the older Blond male. Aahh responsabilities..sometimes are so difficult to fulfill Wink

I'm watching "safari live" right now and they're doing a nice piece on these boys taking over the matimbas pride.

Two of the Birmingham males were located at first rock this morning. With the heat, they were totally inactive, choosing to rest up! We are hoping they'll get active this evening. Images by Ephraim Khoza

The fight was 4 days ago. And here is one of the comments:
1 brother carried on mating with female, the other skulked off to join his other 3 brothers on a buffalo kill about 10 km away! Was an awesome moment!
