Fabio and Birmingham young male :

Also, guide said a history between Birmingham and Birmingham breakeaway pride..
They split 4 years ago as they where too big, 28 members, so few lionesses left with few cubs, sired by Avoca/Giraffes..
He said that Ross males dominated both prides for around 3 yrs now, and sired cubs in both prides.. So the younger subadults of the Birmingham breakaway are sired by Ross males..

Tanda Tula update
The week started off on a good foot. After the first drive, we had ticked off sightings of buffalo bulls, elephants, rhinos and six members of the Giraffe Pride of lions. Having travelled to the western parts of the concession for fear that the River Pride could go walk about again, we needn’t have worried, as Ginger found them whilst we were with the Giraffe Pride. Then, the next morning, we helped track the pride and found all of them together in the east; two pairs of lions were busy mating and the others were resting off their fat-bellies. That evening, they serenaded us with their roars, and the pride remained in the area for much of the rest of the week as the honeymooners continued their business, which provided some great viewing. Later in the week, the trackers found the Giraffe Pride again, in our western sector this time.

He said "around 3", its more like 2.5 yes..maybe they takeover Breakeaway pride first..
But he confirmed that they are dominating that pride aswell and sired cubs with them..

I believe That is a young male and a female from the Mara. That young male has a lot lighter overall color than the young Birmingham male imho.
That is what I thought. I got a little confused, because they went from the Ross Males and the Birmingham Pride, and then jumped to that lion. But, indeed I thought he looked a lot lighter. That lighter colored lion, who I'm not sure I've seen before, is absolutely huge for sure.

This male looks lighter colored to me, perhaps it is the lighting and the angle of the shot. It is definitely not one of the Ross Males, who appear to be quite close by during this interaction. The young male's leg doesn't seem to be bothering him at all, and he is absolutely massive on top of her, he is really beginning to fill in really well. Either way, this could mean a whole lot of trouble for him, especially if Tyson sees him. Interaction happens at around 7:14On the top left corner you have writen Massai Mara.
Ok, so after watching it again, when he walks away from her, there is a very slight limp visible.
Understood, I posted it here, because it has the Ross Males and the Brimingham Pride. But, I see what you are referring to, and for some reason, at that time of night here, I missed that part. Thank you @Potato

The Xikukutsu males are turning out to be a formidable and handsome coalition! Under the leadership of the Mapoza male, these boys could be the main contenders in the Timbavati area.

I hope he hasn't tbh, I was really hoping he'd at least take Jr with him, and possibly one or two of the other subs, but they are nowhere near ready at this point. If he has left for good, at least he is moving on that back leg better than he has in months. I still wish he'd have taken some help with him.
