Any update on older Monwana male with Giraffe young male?

Last update of those two was in Thornybush.

"The most unusual sighting was photographed on our traverse this week!!!

Seeing a hyena carrying the head of a predator is one thing, but on closer inspection, it seems it is a male lion skull!!

We will be investigating further to hopefully find out, which male lion it is.

Please comment if you have further information, as our guides have reported only seeing four of the five Vuyela and the giraffe males have been seen on our property and traverse."




This is not the Giraffe male accompanying the limping Monwana is it?
Apparently both males were seen yesterday looking in good condition and doing well. They've been hanging around Makeppies area quite a lot


RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 08-19-2022

A little throwback to December 2016

I was thinking the same thing. If these young guys stay together, they will be a threat to any coalition and probably dominate a lot of prides.

Thank you for that! I hope he can meet up with his brothers soon, since he has been reported as being in poor health and his best chances will be if he can stick close with them.
