Yeah still nothing on Tinyo, however the eastern part of Mala mala isn't as traversed as the west so he might still be lurking somewhere, but it's not looking good

Location of sighting?

MalaMala, exact location unknown

Still nothing of Tinyo?  how long has it bene since his last sighting?
The last time that Tinyo was seen was a week before the arrival of the Ndhzenga males. Nhenha was sighted recently in the KNP boundary. No signs of Tinyo.

The Tinyo thing is very worrying and it seems that Nhenha has already surrendered against the Nw's


RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 12-09-2021

That is odd. I think that they were reported as a group during the whole Nwaswitshakas thing. But if he disappeared beforehand we may be having a bit of a chicken and the egg issue.

Did the BBoys move east to avoid the Nwaswitshakas. Or did something happen to drive the BBoys east, creating an opening for the Nwaswitshakas.


RE: The Birmingham Males - Tonpa - 12-10-2021

Nhenha and Kambulas a few days ago




RE: The Birmingham Males - Potato - 12-12-2021

Time to say goodbye?
As weeks become months since the last sighting of the older Gowrie male, is it time to assume that he is no longer for this world?
His absence is in stark contrast to the regular sightings we’ve had of his brother, who has been moving between the various groupings of the Kambula pride.

I guess so. An abrupt ending of viewings like that is a good sign something happened. 

It may be that he fled and is just roaming around somewhere like HB did. But even then the chances of survival are slim.


RE: The Birmingham Males - Tonpa - 12-12-2021

Nhenha in Singita yesterday

It is still too early to say that Tinyo is gone, it has been a little over a month that Tinyo has not looked almost the same as Kambula's 3 mothers and cubs.


RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 12-12-2021

Singita? Thats way out for him. I wonder whats up with that.

Male lions travel great distances to patrol it does not mean something important that he is in Singita, he will have extended his round further west of Londolozi to see if there is any threat or out of curiosity and ended up entering Singita.

Actually sticking to his sons might be the best path Nhenha can take. Regardles if Nhenha is on his own now or if Tinyo is still somewhere out there their rign over the region is about to end. He can try to hold on to his pride much of how remaining Matshapiri males was doing in 2017/2018 that is always just a short live starategy. It would be just a matter of time he would be driven out by other males and then porbably die shortly after as nomad (nomadic males past 10 years old ussualy does not survive long esspecially just as a single male on his own).

On the other hand if he would stick with his sons and survive next 1-2 years untill young Kambulas will be able to claim territory and pride of their own Nhenha would have great odds to survive very long. He would have pride to provide food and strong coalition to keep other males at bay he could live up to natural death in peace still as a pride male.

Throwback to the golden days of this once powerfull coalition

Fled and leave his brother behind, I highly doubt that.

That's ridiculous.
