The color of his eyes is stunning, but there seems to be something going on in his right eye. I zoomed it in, and whatever it is, perhaps it is just how his eye is, but it is inside of his eye, and not on it, as I first thought when I saw it.

they are with Sand River and Plains Camp pride
idk which or how many are Avoca daughters since we barely have any info on both prides, but yes, Avoca daughters should be with them

Laughing lol
his mane is indeed looking really impressive. Similar to the bigger Trichardt male after he lost his mane and then started growing it back. Hopefully Smudge's mane will get to 'normal', it did develop alot in the past few months. All of the five brothers looking really healthy and strong, #3 being the skinniest in his hindquarters but still impressive.

Nkuhlu 
MALAMALA GAME RESERVE | GAME REPORT | October -2024



THE NKUHLU MALES = 6
  • 2 ADULT MALES ± 6 YEARS 2 MONTHS
  • 4 ADULT MALES ± 5 YEARS 2 MONTHS
CHARLESTON

(2 sightings)
"Two of the males were attempting to hunt buffalo at Charleston Rock on the 25th and on the 27th, three of the males were at Rocky Crossing with two of the Sand River lionesses."



according to MalaMala, there has been no further sign of two Sand River pride cubs that were born september... I wonder whats up with this pride and its cubs.

I'm wondering g as well.   Smudge has some nice, big, dark elbow tufts going in. He's turning into a specimen for sure.

They count all 6 since they still consider the Nkuhlus as a 6 males coalition.
But the sightings they have say only saw 2 males at one occasion, and 3 males at another.
