About #348: If you make here a search about the Sparta Pride, a great part of data linked to this pride concerns the Matshapiri Males... And I didn't want to open a new topic about the Sparta Pride especially if it will contain only 2 or 3 threads in a few years...
One thing is for sure: there is a link between the Sparta Pride and the Matshapiri Males. Perhaps the latters come from the formers. Perhaps too some other things...

This is absurd that 5 years old lion has such a dark mane, Matshapiri elite genes.

He's a fine specimen of male lion. Matshapiri males lineage it must had been a strong one from their forefathers to get producing these kind of specimens with such a big and healthy dark-maned at such young age.
The Fourways male sired by the Majingilane males also had a incredible dark-maned to a similar age as this one. Quite incredible IMHO

2 underrated Kings of Sabi Sand. They will be remembered as the once who stood their ground against Majingi and Matimba.

I never have seen male lions with such an incredibly good-looking black-mane. Without a doubt, the Mathsapiri genes are something else.
