The Mapoza male was with the darker young lioness and later the other lighter female approached. This sequence played out, cautious approach, the female greetings and then acceptance. August 2020

9 members of the Black dam pride of lions feeding on the remains of a Nyala they hunted and caught in the early morning hours, was only trumped by a herd of buffalo crashing the scene and chasing the well fed lion

Tanda Tula update
So, this week Chad and I have decided to do a bit of collaboration. He was lucky enough to be exploring a very different area of our concession to myself and with that venture came a rare sighting of the Giraffe Pride. This is a very vibrant pride of ten lions, including the two Monwana males who seem to have taken over this pride in a fairly peaceful manner after the Black Dam male was killed about a month ago during a buffalo hunt. The pride does have one young male in their midst so it will be interesting to see what happens as he grows older. Generally speaking, male lions have very little time for younger males, especially when they are not their own. This is of course a very tricky time for a young lion as he will presumedly get pushed out of the pride and forced to live a very nomadic lifestyle while he searches for a territory of his own. This involves trying to feed himself and fending off every other territorial male he may encounter.

They look even too similar to their father. Lions of Thornybush clearly had pore gene pools up until they got their fence with Timbavati down. It is nice to see that male lions from Thornybush take over territory out side of Thornybush and Thornybush has new blood coming in through dominant males from different arenas.

So Tanda Tula said that BDM was killed after buffalo hunt, and not by Monwanas..
I still dont believe that Monwanas killed him, theres 0 evidence of that, besides rangers words that they "supposedly" seen tracks of Monwanas in that area..

In some of the previous blogs they also said that BD male was killled by Monwanas so there is a lot of confusing misinformations regarding BD male death. I have no idea in what version to believe in the end.

Yeah.
Chad said that the BDM was killed by the Monwana males and according Luke the BDM was killed by the Buffalo
So,until now the things not are clear
RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 10-06-2020
There have been some, but, very few lions were as photogenic as this male that used to roam around the reserve here @royalmalewane in South Africa. This guy was called the Timbavati male lion who died of natural causes in the drought of 2016.

One of the 3 brothers who was previously part of the Western Pride. they are becoming n mighty team. They are now often seen in the northern part of Umbabat in the vicinity of the old Kruger cutline. They recently allowed a female with a one year old male teenager to join them when they killed a buffalo . It would appear that the female and cup are the two who recently broke away from the Western Pride. All in the family
