I think this is Caesar. Check the previous pic from the baloon, notice how Notch 2 has a much darker mane.

RE: Lion king Notch and his famous 5 sons - Gamiz - 12-12-2016

One of the last pictures taking of Notch, the greatest Lion King ever known to The Mara, taken in July 2012.
Born in the year 2000, Notch and his brother Blond, conquered the mighty Marsh Pride of lions in 2004.
They are challenged in 2006 by 3 lions. Though Notch and Blond successfully defend the pride, Blond is killed from the injuries.
Without his brother to help him, Notch is outnumbered. He takes his sons and travels to the Serengeti. All are feared dead.
But the Mighty Notch returns with his boys, and together they conquer 10 of the 22 prides in Masai Mara.
He reigned until he lost his favorite son - some say he died of a broken heart...
He's named "Notch" for the notch on his nose.
I am grateful I got to witness such a mighty king.
