RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tr1x24 - 05-17-2020
Theres was discussion before, that some people think that Xikukutsus are sired by Avoca/Giraffe males, but as they grow older, they more look like Ross males, especially this guy who is spitting image of Tyson Ross male:

Actually Ross and Avoca/Giraffe males were sired by same coalition and they do not look much different so we can not relly too much on their look. As I pointed in other comment before they look similar also to other Avoca/Giraffe sons.

Mbiri males on the patrol. Larger Mbiri is a bit woonded, but nothink serious. Guide also talk a bit about of history of those males.

Wow some fresh wounds, any idea who they fight? Nharhus or some males in Kruger?
These guys are only 7 yrs old but already been involved in so many fights, they do not run from a fight thats for sure.

I don't think about the Nharhu males, Because the Mbiri didn't respond the Roar of two of them.
And they left the area the next day. In KNP would be most possibly.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Potato - 05-17-2020
Guide does not mention of possiblity of fight between them and Nharhus so I presume with someone from Kruger or perhaps got wounded while hunting.

It looks like you did not watch video carefully as Mbiris were roaring while patroling.

That too big of a wound from a fight for mating rights.
Thats wound is from another male lions or as @Potato says maybe from a hunt, but i dont think so as it looks like a bite..

Remember that Shaka is very aggressive when it comes to mating. Who knows.
