Yes, from what I heard. It is a big possibility that the Birmingham Young Male had a fight with the two Black Dam Male Lions.
Both Black Dam Male Lions have puncture wounds on their heads and back. Update from my friend Johan at Shindzela.

thank you for the info!
Always a pleasure my friend. As long as I can. I'll update all of our members about Timbavati lions. I'm currently working in the next map with Cathan (At Kings Camp) Johan and Rico from Shindzela and Makanyi. And Chad Cocking himself. I'll post it here soon.

One of the three old Birmingham males at Ngala in 2013
The Birmingham boys enjoying some sun shine today. Interesting thing was they where with 9 of the youngsters, then later on we found the rest of the pride with the lionesses in the west

Update from Johan Adolf Smalman: The Torchwood Male and Birmingham Young Male on this evenings drive.
They are trailing a herd of Buffalo.
The Birmingham Young Male is walking much better although still with a limp.

Great news!! I would really love to see BYM and TYM live long, of course within male lions' life time frame. Any pictures or videos yet??

Thank you so much for the link. BYM is looking so much better compared to the video I saw yesterday, he is barely limping.

The Birmingham young male is the true example of the ,,Phoenix" He thrived pretty well against all odds. He was beaten multiples times by the two Ross males. They left him with a very nasty injured leg back in the day. Now, Of hich before was a nasty limp, Today isn't even noticiable. What a tale the Birmingham young male could tell. A true legend by himself of Timbavati. A very resilient guy.


RE: Lions of Timbavati - Gijima - 10-18-2021

Are there any theories on what happened to the other 4 Black Dam Males? Strange that 4 fit and young males would go missing.

They spent a lot of time on Sandringham entrance due the constant pressure of the Mapoza and Xikukutsu males. If they're still alive. They could be in big wilderness areas. Sandringham was buy and the new owner is going to build a lodge there. Information provided by my friend which currently is working in Timbavati for around 7 years ago now.

I was dreading hearing about more lions disappearing in Sandringham, but hopefully they're just wandering around in that area like you said. Thanks for the info.

You're right, BYM should be nicknamed the "Phoenix" like Pretty-Boy from the mapogo coallition.

Skorro male Sindzisa was nearby his coalition partner, but because Rhasa is currently mating with a Mayambula lioness, they haven’t spent time together.
