I was just about to ask about those females. Thanks for looking into that. It seems like the Mbiri Pride are not going to accept their sons/brothers and are going out looking for new males. I feel for them… they’re in a really rough position.

One of the Mbiri females (right images) and one of the lionesses seen at Ngala a few days ago (left side)

It's one of the Mbiri females.

Rudi Hulshof regarding BDM size:
I can tell you that the BDM was considered the biggest at that stage and heavier than many they had weighed in history. I cannot tell you exactly how heavy he was though.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Hairy tummy - 08-13-2021
That pic of the BDM got on my wow list, very impressive. How are his sons doing?
RE: Lions of Timbavati - lionuk - 08-14-2021
Update: Three more cubs born into the Monwana Pride which boosts the total to Nine cubs in the pride.

The limping Monwana male was seen this week. His sons from the Giraffe pride are still doing well.

There was an oldest female cub who eventually died, she was in bad condition for many weeks.
The newest three cubs were born in middle june. Information provided by Royal Malewane ranger in a long talk

The bigger Mbiri male. A true beast of male lion. I haven't seen another lion with tufts on the elbows, except for the Matimba male Hairy Belly. What a gorgeous mane, It guess could be due high level of testosterone among other possibly theory.

RE: Lions of Timbavati - Gavskrr - 08-14-2021
Certainly one of the most impressive males of all the kruger at the moment, I don't really like rankings on these animals, but he sure is at the top or next to him.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mdz123 - 08-14-2021
Hairy belly could be the actual father of this Mbiri male. I know that the Matimbas sired Mbiris, but I think Hairy Belly was the specific one who sired this Mbiri male due to their resemblances.
