The Skorro males turned out into gorgeous males. Sindzisa is a one good-looking lion. He resemblances a lot to his most likely dad, Shaka Matimba. While his brother, the skittish one (Rhasa) resemblances to WF.

Update coming from the heart of the Timbavati:
Ngala had 4 young males on a buffalo kill. I assume it was the breakaway males. They said that the Mongawane males came and chased them off the kill.

It will be intresting to see what is ahead of Birmingham breakaway pride. Mongawane males are still looking for a pride to claim as their own and so are young Black Dams. Also Xikukutsus might look for a next pride to takeover and mentioned pride seems like a reasonable choice. Also preasure from the Mbiri males on to Ngala may cause Ross males to spend more time on western side of Ngala...

Due the fact that they've spending time on Ngala side for a couple of weeks. Even a few days before they showed up on Tanda Tula. They have been on Ngala side.(08-13-2022, 11:42 PM)Timbavati Wrote: I assume it was the breakaway malesProbably Black Dam males. They should be around Thornybush-Ngala border.

The Black dam young males are in Thornybush doing well, after they got chased off by the Xikukutsu males. The two Xikukutsu males have come out of Sandringham from the Black Dam pride on 3 occasions in the last 2 months
RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 08-14-2022
One of the two Xikukutsu males (the one referred as smaller-maned back in the day) seen three days ago in Thornybush.

As far I remember, they were killed by the BDM pride or Monwana. Will confirm it once I research on my lion research folder(08-13-2022, 06:45 PM)Timbavati Wrote: The two Sandringham females in June 2018 at Royal Malewane

There where 2 more, but 2 where not seen since for a year or so, they where quite young when they where ousted from the pride by Mapoza/Xikukutsu's, so yea.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Potato - 08-14-2022
It started as a cold and misty morning at Kubili House, the Black Dam Males following a female - out of the thickets the duo Skukutsa males chased the Black Dam Coalition.
