A lot of coming of age single males in the same one region there. There is a lot of potential for this male to find coalition partner at Shindzela and hopefully he will do so.
There are the Mayambulas Subadults and the Birmingham young males who can become a really strong coalition in the future. Lets also not forget about Skorro breakaway who can come north

It would be good if he joined BYM and Torchwood Male if he found them in Shindzela.
Yeah, but beside them there is also around a Monwana male and a Sark male and a young Giraffe male so there is quite a few potential candidates to form a coalition with.
who father the young giraffe male?

A beautiful specimen of male lion! Xantshema "The Warlord".
A recent sighting of the Jacaranda/Xanetsi pride male known as Xantshema. Born around 2007 the old Riverpride males are still holding a big territory with two prides under their control in Ntsiri/Ingwelala. The old River pride males at the age of 14+/- years, after they abandoned the River pride around four to five years ago they moved into Umbabat/Ntsiri and their sightings became sparce until late 2019, the 2 old males showed up with a pride of 21+ members last year in the north-eastern corner of Klaserie and Umbabat showing their absolute dominance and will to live.
However, recent sightings indicates that these two old males are dominant over the Jacaranda/Xanetsi pride.

A Week of Spring’s Subtle Arrival by Chad Cocking
https://tandatula.com/blog/posts/a-week-of-springs-subtle-arrival/?fbclid=IwAR1X6usUJ5i7ChoZhH-Yl_3sul0S8xhgLQGJyxH9voxvw1Xe9L-8xA0-d0U
The lions continued to provide us with good viewing, and after finding the limping Nharhu male with the Mayambula Pride last week, it should probably not come as a surprise that the week started out with us finding the pride in the presence of a different male this time around; one of the Skorro males had reunited with the pride and spent a couple of days mating with the lionesses. His roaring led us to a pair one evening, and the next morning the pair had joined the rest of the lionesses on a small zebra kill, which didn’t last long with seven lions.

Whilst resting off their breakfast, a breeding herd of elephants arrived to chase them off, but the pride soon regrouped and the Skorro male continued to mate with the lionesses. The limping Nharhu male found his voice again and could be heard roaring in the south-west where the River Pride seems to have set up base of late. The pride were seen a couple of times this week, and although the cubs were looking like they could do with a meal, the pride was in fair shape considering their circumstance. The week ended with the pride being found fat-bellied and resting a few kilometres west of Safari Camp.
We also got to see a portion of the Giraffe Pride in the west this week, but the most interesting development was the return of the long-lost last standing lioness of the Ross Pride, but this time she wasn’t alone! She has somehow managed to find and form a union with another long-lost lioness, the young Hercules female. The two have been reported together in the north for the past few weeks but this time made a return to the western parts of the central Timbavati – time will tell how long they hang around, and where they decide to set up base. Their return to our concession was followed a couple of days later by the two Sark breakaway lions also making a return to the western portions of Tanda Tula resulting in five different prides of lions being seen this week.
Really interesting to hear that two unrelated lioness have joined up!
RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 08-27-2021
Two females of two legendary pride of lions. For those who doesn't know, The Hercules pride is related with the old Mafikizolo pride who used to be seen in Northern Timbavati in the 2000's
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tonpa - 08-27-2021
I saw folks mention the Ross female was around 10-11, is she possibly a sister of the Ross Males?
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tonpa - 08-27-2021
Not sure if the results will be made public, but they're currently doing a lion census in Balule. They are using bait and dying calls to bring the lions in.

Yes, that's a correct fact. She's sister of the Ross males. Age matches
