You are right, those are Styxs.
He said under comments that those are Matimbas in younger days, i didn't pay attention at all.
I'll post in under Majingilanes sons.

Any news on HB since the 3 males were seen around his territory?

Nothink new. HB is still dominant over his territorry and 3 newcomers are still in northen Singita so in kind of no men land.
RE: The Matimba coalition - Cath2020 - 08-04-2020
Maybe Aunty Othawa distracted them a bit.... After all, she has her sub-adult son to protect and the 3 others from her niece Sassy.
Wily HB can handle himself I think. He seems to play the disappearing act well and makes an appearance later on when he's good and ready. He hasn't made it to 15 years of age for nothing. I hope only old age will take him out. That sly one won't be so easy to handle as the males may assume. I'm more worried about the teenagers in the pride, if anything. If the nomadic males get a hold of them.......

Its not the Junior mother, its the other infertile lioness.
Youngsters are getting at the point where they actively participate in hunts, and in potential takeover they will run away with Junior. 3 youngsters are almost big as their mother, in few months they will be capable on surviving on their own pretty much, with Junior, so no fear for them.
