I wonder if they are nomadic or they were just trying to expand their current territory. I understand that even prime males can be nomadic but I would be surprised if these two beasts aren't currently territorial pride males coming from elsewhere.

Most likely those are expanding Nsemani males. Larger Nsemani (older Mbiri) has few characteristic scars on his face so if we get close photo shot on the face on running males we could confirm or deny his identity.

I don't know how answer this.
But, the Mbiri haven't any territory established on Timbavati, at least that I remember, they were chased by the Nharhu and since then they never took-over again.
Maybe they're dominant on KNP

Nharhus just pushed Mbiris further south and away from River pride. There is no doubt that Mbiris are still terrytorrial and in full control of at least one pride (Myambula).

Guys, i was wrong, those are not Nsemani males, after checking whisker spots of Rockfig male and that left male:

RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tr1x24 - 08-30-2020
So what is the conclusion of how BDM died at the end?? I see a lot of Facebook page posting that Monwanas finished him out, is there any evidence of that??

@"TinoArmando" has received contradicting information is last I heard. Not sure if we will ever know for certain at this point, to be honest. As long as we don't know for certain, I will personally choose to believe he died feeding the pride, from the injuries he received by the buffalo, as opposed to being incapacitated by a buffalo and finished by his own two sons.

In my humble opinion at the moment nobody shows a proof of the BDM was killed by their own sons.
I believe, that he died from the blood loss as James Walker explain me and later the hyenas found him and started to feeding of the carcass,Also exist the possibilitie that he has died by the several bleeding while he was crossing the Monwana river, and later the Monwana found him already "dead".
However, James Walker, which is a reliable source who works in Walkers River Camp has said that the lions not do that,So most likely were the hyenas who eaten him

Born to the Impalabos pride of Balule, at some point this incredible fighter teamed up with another lone lion, Hosi, and the two began a partnership that has brought them here to Klaserie Drift and the River pride. A year and a half later, he is the proud father of 10 cubs and the next generation of Klaserie legends

What a beautiful, albeit very busy, male. May they have a long reign!
