RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 07-24-2023
A week in pictures by Chad Cocking - Tanda Tula
Photo below context: One of the Sark/Mafikizolo lioness.
the Mayambula Pride made their way up to Tanda Tula Safari Camp and our trackers located them on the ridge just behind Safari Camp. Sadly though, the roars of the Vuyela males to the north sent the Mayambula Pride all the way back south, and they were tracked into the Kruger Park the next morning. Fortunately, the Giraffe Pride were around, and had moved into the very eastern parts of their territory. Ginger got to enjoy the marvellous sight of 19 members of the pride walking down the road and past his vehicle. Four other members were seen a few times in the western part of our concession, but there was no sign of the Hercules male this week. *The remains of a male lion were found in the south-western Timbavati, and it is assumed that these remains were of the sickly Sumatra male, a lion who had done well to avoid the inevitable for so many months*. I headed off to see the Giraffe Pride after drinks on my first evening drive, but as they had been left unattended, I needed to relocate them; we picked up some tracks, but the closest we got was listening to the pride chase after a herd of giraffes in the middle of a very thick block, in the dark. A couple of days later we did get to see six members of the Sark Breakaway pride resting up out of the wind in the same area, but the bulk of the Giraffe Pride didn’t show face. The Vuyela males could be heard roaring most nights, but they continued to move around north of our concession where the River Pride lionesses have a den.

So Sumatra male passed away, rip..
RE: Lions of Timbavati - afortich - 07-24-2023
RIP king Sumatra
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tr1x24 - 07-24-2023
Lets hope that Hercules can buy some time for their offspring, he and Mapoza are not in greatest situation surounded by BDM's, Vuyelas, up and coming Birmigham breakaway and Birmingham "white lion" coalitions.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mwk85 - 07-25-2023
Son or possibly grandson of the Skybed males?

Great looking boy! How long did the Skybeds last as a massive coalition of 10, did they control any prides while having those original numbers?
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mapokser - 07-26-2023
Is this https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm8JVOonwDK/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D the original Black Dam Male like said by the tracker, or is it the Giraffe Male?
https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-lions-of-timbavati?page=43
In this page the poster says the tracker misidentified him and it is actually the Giraffe male.

And this second one, Giraffe or BDM?

RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 07-26-2023
In both pics the mighty Black dam male
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mapokser - 07-26-2023
Yeah I was suspicions about the other WF poster's claims they were the Giraffe male.
The body length is too ridiculous to be anyone but the BDM.

Giraffe Pride - Timbavati. Killed a buffalo. Finished it completely before they were chased off. Hercules not there. Counted between 17 to 19 lion (not 100% sure as they scattered when the Ross male arrived. They stopped a couple of kilometers away on Avoca road for a drink in the road before moving off to the north.
