The Monwana male resemblances a lot to his uncle. What a good-looking lion

The white lion lifts his nose to the breeze, checking for any scents that may be of value to him. Next to him, his brother drinks after feeding on something.
We are not sure what the pride caught this day - when we found them they were covered in blood. Some had full bellies and almost all of them seemed on edge, looking back towards our boundary with the Manyeleti Game Reserve. We suspect their kill was stolen by other lions. They spent the afternoon in some light drizzle, resting near the water!

Great footage! The still image used as the video placeholder shows just how well that white male is beginning to really fill out, coming into his own for sure.

Test post, please add a like to this post if you are seeing it.
We are experiencing some issues with the site. The WildFact team is aware of the issues and are working on them.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - criollo2mil - 10-05-2022
This morning we found the oldest Birmingham Breakaway Male at the same waterhole as the two Mongawane Males.
There was no fighting between them at all or anything. Eventually the two Mongawane Males left the waterhole heading North.
The oldest Birmingham Breakaway Male stayed behind at the waterhole.
Unfortunately he really does not look good anymore. Getting skinnier every time we see him.

He’s losing condition and simply can’t keep up with them and their movements. His rapid decline makes me sad to think he won’t be around much longer. Reminds me a lot of the same wasting away we saw from Tumbelas….and also Mpohlo Nharhu before that.

There was a time when I'd really hoped he and BYM would leave their respective prides at around the same time, and maybe find each other and become partners. Now, we see this, truly bittersweet.
What makes it even worse is it seems BYM and TYM might have been open to accepting a third member, given the lack of any aggression (which we wouldn't normally see from nomads to begin with).
Only other nomadic males I remember BYM getting close to were the young Mbiris, who later became the Tintswalo boys

I’ve been holding hope that the Skorro YM of Orpen would one day join the Mongawane. It would be amazing that these three males sired by some of my favorite lions would all form quite an alliance. But as tine goes by, I feel it’s a longer and longer shot.

That'll be awesome if Mongawane accept him. Any known reason why the breakaway boy started to lose condition??
