There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I think that this male is Skorro (Thanda Impi male).

To tell the truth, i was been a long time to think about which of the two males is, because from this photo they are really similar. Then, the feeling was what to be a Birmingham male. Thanks @Gamiz for the correction. 

Other opinions about this male? @Tshokwane

From Nkorho Bush Lodge, credits ti Nkorho Rangers:
January 24
Morning Drive

- Saw the three Styx females and one Birmingham male fast asleep in the middle of the road. They were very far west from their usual territory.
24 January
Afternoon drive.

- Styx pride with one Birmingham around the same area as we saw them in the morning. This time the two small cubs were also present.
25 January
Morning drive.

- The Styx were located again without the Birmingham male around.

I'm not sure who is he, I left a question in the photographer's post asking about that.

Edit: He's one of the Thanda Impi males.

Interesting, I wonder what were they looking for. Maybe they sensed the Majingilane returned more to the west.

that's a great shot of nsuku with family. it is odd that the bboys don't stick together much. we always see mfumo and tinyo around each other but nsuku and nhena seem to do their own thing. wonder if that will change when their cubs mature and they look to move away from styx and nkahuma prides.

I don't think that's the same lion in the third image. The nose coloration is different. May even be an older image of Nsuku.

The Birmingham males finished off their buffalo kill, and have been resting in the area. The Nkuhuma lionesses were no where to be found though. Images by Andrew Khosa.

Thank you, I'll be using that to recognize him.

No, at least I haven't. Maybe he's with the Nkuhuma pride?
