How sure are we that all 5 Vuyela males are alive? There are speculation on FB group that the head in the hyenas mouth might have been 1 of the Vuyela males?

Tanda Tula update
Not to be outdone, the lion prides also played along very nicely this week, and yes, when I say “prides”, that does include the Giraffe Pride. We headed east one afternoon to spend some time with the Mayambula Pride after they were found sleeping near Tanda Tula Safari Camp with their fat bellies after a successful hunt the night before. Awaking the next morning, we could hear multiple lions roaring on the plains in front of Plains Camp, and excitedly headed off to find the majority of the Giraffe Pride ambling across the open area to the south; four lionesses, eleven sub-adults, and the two pride males – it was a wonderful sight.
A few days later a few members of the pride were also found a couple of hundred meters to the east of Plains Camp, with their blood-stained coats telling of another successful night of hunting. That same morning, the Mayambula Pride were found on a fresh buffalo bull kill close to Safari Camp, but with seventeen members present, they made short work of the kill and were done by the following morning. One of the single lionesses also managed to kill a wildebeest bull on her own near Machaton Dam, but as she was joined by the rest of the pride that night, the kill didn’t last long. This lioness then spent the next three days “mating”; I use the inverted commas as although there were reports of some mating taking place, she was not very interested in the two Skorro male lions that were following her and in my time spent with the pair, we only saw one half-hearted effort from the honeymooners.

All of those are from Sabi Sands, not Timbavati.

Ok, thanks. I will keep it in mind for future postings.

I received an update this morning that the 6 Birmingham breakaway males were found on the most north eastern boundary of Ntsiri in the Umbabat. (This area is home to the Jacaranda pride). They are only about 5km away from the Kruger national park boundary, which if they crossed - we will lose all track of them as this area is one of the largest wilderness blocks in the whole Kruger Park with no camps and public roads.

The Ross Males have seen so many cubs to adulthood (some not of their blood), their success as a duo will leave a lasting legacy for them both.

Without a doubt!

I am wondering if the six Birmingham breakaway males cross Kruger national park boundary or not.
