@criollo2mil  it could possibly be them or the 2 Xikukutsu males. 

Wt first i thought maybe it was the oldest birmingham breakaway male that had died & i was rather shocked to hear that a black dam boy either got killed or died another way.

I had also wondered about the likelihood it was sick Birmingham Breakaways ….but others say the head is very similar to the young BDYM.   He apparently was being outcast for some reason.

The person mentioning this could be taking things out of context.   I’m not sure.   

They were all seen together 11 August and chased by Xikukutzu.   

On August 18, all were seen still together. 

But after this date, Only three seen at a time.   This young boy always alone.   Maybe it was the mating situations maybe something else.   Again.  Most is speculation.  Remarks.

Yeah, especially sad it was the youngest one too.


RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 10-15-2022

The Black Dam male coalition has been flourishing here at Royal Malewane and it’s a real privilege to be able to see them come of age and slowly become the force they are destined to be.

We were treated to a fantastic sighting this morning as they finished off the remains of a recent Buffalo kill.

RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 10-15-2022

Update: All five Black dam males were found this morning on a kill (Including the youngest one)

How do you mean all 5? If 2 spliting brothers returned, then there should be 6 of them (if youngest one is alive).

I was going to ask the same.


Being told that they likely all reunited.  

One of the four died and the Two re-joined the three remaining

I guess the lost one wasn’t the youngest then?

If you’re good with their IDs, here are screen caps of their sighting.    I will send the video to @lionuk to post since I can’t figure out that process lol
