Cool report by Darren Donovan from Manyeleti back in the day, his guest went there just to see the Matimbas, and having seen all the famous lions of the Greater KNP, he thought Matimbas were the biggest!

It must have been amazing to see such beautiful and magnificent lions right in front of you.
RE: The Matimba coalition - Hairy tummy - 09-19-2023
Excellent...who is around now a days that compare to the matimba's? Zig zag mbiri or the leeubron perhaps
RE: The Matimba coalition - Mapokser - 09-19-2023
Not sure about currently but prime Leeubrons were up there.

The Hairy Belly Matimba male:

Browsing through facebook today I saw comments claiming that the Nkuhuma Breakaway subadult male sired by the PCM has a hairy belly too:
*This image is copyright of its original author
Honestly I can't see it, and I haven't found the suppose footage showing it "clearly" as people were claiming, but regardless, this guy is a Matimba grandson, and people think his mother resembles HB, I also remember thinking he looked similar to HB when he was younger:

But regardless, it'll be interesting to see how he'll look when he grows up, and if he develops a hairy belly like some are claiming, it'll be pretty cool to see it, since the only Matimba descendent to have it was the Torchwood male, though it seemingly vanished once he got older.

One of the 3 massive Old Skybed males, the father of the Matimbas, he resembles Slitnose a lot:

No way this is Ginger, right? So which Northern Matimba is this one? Shaka? Though it has a cut on his nose, so maybe Slitnose?

Dec 08 2012 at Djuma. I didn't know the Northern Matimbas would still go so south at Sabi Sands as late as Dec 2012, meeting with the Nkuhuma pride. No wonder the Majingilane chose to expand west against the Selatis instead of north against Matimbas in late 2012.

Can anyone list the prides the Matimbas conquered with dates? I'm most interested in their early years.
I'm also wondering what year the Mbiri Pride broke away from the Skybed Pride, if you know.
Thank you for your help.
Idk exact dates, but you can kinda tell when they sired first generation of cubs in which pride, so some time before those cubs where born.
2011 Mbiri cubs
2012 Nkuhuma and Talamati cubs
Then split
2014 Koppies and Skorro cubs (N. Matimbas)
2014 Torchwood cubs (S. Matimbas)
2015 Styx cubs (S. Matimbas)
So the Northern Matimbas never interacted with the Torchwood Pride? I wonder how many of the Matimba-Torchwood offspring survived. I wish we got more updates from that area.

No, they split already.

Few reached adulthood and are still alive.

I had a question the Matimbas had cubs with the Styxt pride that survived?
