Can someone help me figure out which one is which? I am under the impression that the Baldy look is of Torchwood male while the fuller scalp of BYM.  So from the first pic, I am thinking the one in the front is TM while at the back is BYM, is that right ?

I fixed your post, Since you've written in the incorrect site.  Having said that, in the sighting of both males together the male in front it's the Birmingham young male and in his back the Torchwood young male. Then #2 and #3 pics is the BYM and #4 and #5 the Torchwood young male.

His limp won't heal ever. Since his leg is already atrophied. His limp is noticeable time to time. Either when he walks long distances or mate with the females and don't get much food. It's a shame, since he is a good looking male. But seems to be doing well with it after all.

It is possible that he re-injures by jumping from a tree and starts limping again, and then heals. The re-injury and heal cycle is due to the limp being permanent and we have seen this with many other lions

The two new Male Lions we have been seeing this month around our area.

They are known as The Black Dam Males. They were born into the Black Dam Pride around the end of 2017. Fathered by the Giraffe male Lion.

Klaserie Drift update

Throughout the first half of September, the Klaserie was bursting with lions at every turn as the 26-28 strong River pride were spotted feasting on zebra kills on two different occasions. For such a huge pride, these kills were barely enough to go around and so the carcasses were each devoured within a matter of hours - leaving our guests in utter disbelief! Between meals, one particularly special moment stands out as the entire pride were spotted relaxing next to our famous KD bridge. With the adults taking a light snooze, the cubs took advantage of a moment to play and run amok with each other. Watching the tiniest youngsters interact with their much older cousins was a magical moment to behold. At one point, the game vehicle was completely surrounded by lions - just a few metres away in every direction - as our guests sat wide-eyed and grinning! Most definitely a highlight to remember for guide and guests alike.

As the month marched on, the lions were forced to range further from their core territory around the lodge in order to fill their ever-demanding bellies. The females dipped under the radar for a while, although our magnificent males - Hosi and Socha - continued to fascinate and thrill as they reinforced their ownership over the land with their rib-rattling roars and placid nature, allowing the vehicles to get close enough to almost tickle them under their chins!
