If he survive to reach his prime. He is going to be a massive and bulky male. The Black dam pride bloodline is one of the strongest of Thornybush, well-known for pruducing big males, like the Black dam male, Marvin the Monwana male among others. This Black dam young male, for just 4 years old more or less, he is a big boy

Yes you're right. The Mlowathi males were average sized lions, Like the other Mapogo males, except for Dreadlocks and Makhulu.

I do not think so. There you can read opinion of James Tyrell on Majingilanes and KNP males:
"Todd these are indeed very big males, definitely bigger that the Majingilane. They have been around our Southern areas once or twice more since this sighting, and their paw prints alone dwarf those of the Majingilane. As Thelma says, 4 vs 2 might be too much for them to handle if they do bump into one another, and with one of the Kruger males having a lame hip, it would be fair to assume that the Majingilane males would come out on top in an encounter"

and the opinion of Sabi Sabi guide Ben Coley on KNP male and 2 last Mapogos which even through very in good condition, they were defninitelly well past their prime:

"Thanks for all the comments everyone. I hope it was a fitting article for such an influential coalition! News from the fight yesterday morning is that one was seen briefly with quite bad injuries to his testicles amongst other areas…but we don’t know the extent of the injuries just yet. We did find tracks for one deep in south of the reserve this morning but couldn’t locate him. It seems I underestimated the Kruger males. Although the remaining Mapogo are larger, I can only posit that their desire has left them and they merely seek to live out the rest of their days in relative peace."

Do you know if Black Dam pride is still split into two (with Giraffe male daughters + one older lionesses making one part and the females which moved to Sandriham with Giraffe male making other part) or if they reunited into single pride?

There was another male following them in a distance, possibly Giraffe young male or maybe Birmingham breakeaway young male.

The Giraffe young male was seen feeding on a hippo carcass with them. So, could be him.
