With his brothers gone. He would got a lot more food and attention from the pride for himself. So he didn't have that much to complain about.

Indeed, for me too, it's not seems to be a bad deal. 
3 healthy ones are exploring for new territories and Gote can take the responsibility for consolidating them. It's works fine for him only as lionesses with cubs will definitely go for hunt ( for their cubs or atleast producing milk for them) so Gore will never sleep empty stomach. Well if he is taking part with his brothers in exploring new territories, mating with new girls, it seems like we were underestimate him for so long. No doubt, tomorrow we will take part in action with his brothers too. 
Good luck GORE

Finally, the most awaited video for months (or weeks atleast). Well K2 and K3 are taking good care of them. Eldest 3 must be 11 months old. The lioness with them must be K2. First of all it's really a matter of cheering that 4 little cubs are still holding the ground after so much adversities. I think the eldest 3 by now must be safe from leopard attacks atleast. 
But the clouds of danger from 4 Nwaswitshakas still hanging. As we all are assuming till now that they must be hiding in KNP is not true, they still are in mala mala, not very far away from nwaswitshakas. 
Also still it's not clear whether K3 is still with K2 and cubs or join the party with other 4 girls. 

Wait and watch

Is this a dual mis-identification? 
Says Mohawk with Kambula subs and Blondie with Kambula pride (and cubs)

is it DM with Kambula subs and Blondie with Nkuhuma new mothers and cubs?

Blondie is with Nkuhumas and cubs. 

Its Dark Mane with 2 Kambula young males (prob 2 oldest ones), but craziest part is that it was apperantly in southern parts of Londolozi, what is Dark Mane doing in southern Londolozi??

RE: Lions of Sabi Sands - Tonpa - 02-21-2022

Pretty sad if his brothers have rejected him, can't imagine him surviving long in central Sabi

We cant tell that based of this sighting/appearance. 

Will be interesting to see how this folds out if Talamatis dont return back north soon, its hard to imagen that DM will stay there alone in that case, he will prob start roaming around, as we see.

We already starting to see Nkuhuma subadults gruop hanging further north because of Talamatis absence.

Any idea what male this lion is? A black maned Monster from Kruger National Park! Credits to @karen_photoblog (Instagram)

Look at those dimensions from the Mohawk Avoca male lion. I cant imagine him being bulky.... that would be unfair for the other male lions. A true giant i guess

Mohawk avoca is playing his cards intelligently. 
Two older nkuhuma females have halted the further advancement of PC males. Two other nkuhuma girls are with 7 subs ( 2019 litters) and are learning lessons for future endeavors. He kept 3 girls with him ( mother of 7 cubs) and make sure he will never go bed empty stomach as 3 mothers will definitely go for hunt and kill for their cubs. 
Moreover, he has a powerful comrade Blondie. 
He himself is great and full form. He will not give walk over to N'shakas/ PC boys over nkuhumas.
