Yes, same male.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 05-18-2024
Definitely, the recent sightings of both males on their own lead us to believe they’re not together. Hopefully they’re still coalition partners.

I have never wished for any harm to any lion in my life, and in regards to this dear boy, I will only say that I hope his suffering is not prolonged. I hate seeing him like this.

Tanda Tula - A week in pictures
Photo credits: Chad Cocking
The River Pride were seen with a couple of other kills, from impala to baby wildebeest, and an unknown feast that left ten members of the pride sleeping in the same spot for 36 hours! A couple of days later, the females made an opportunistic kill and were found with a fresh daytime-caught young zebra near Nkhari. The Sark Breakaways also spent the week looking in good shape, and I tried to spend time with them in the late evening on a couple of occasions but was lucky to even get a head-lift out of them! Needless to say, after the latter evening of laziness, the pride was located the next morning with not one, but two young buffalo kills! In the east, Ginger also found a single Mayambula female, but there were no signs of the rest of the pride. The Giraffe Pride surprisingly spent a week without showing face in the far west. The Vuyela males continued to make their presence known in the central regions, and we woke up to their roars almost every morning this week – morning roaring usually leads to a guarantee of early evening vocalizations

from them, and they didn’t disappoint and gave our guests several great roaring displays this week.

They have names?
RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 05-23-2024

The 6 Birmingham Breakaway males, in order; Kovu, Madzinyo, Gulayo, Indlebe, Ilanga and Dzombo.
Kovu and Madzinyo are the 2 biggest, oldest and most dominant of the 6. Madzinyo is possibly the bulkier of the 6 and has a well-developed mane as Kovu
Gulayo and Dzombo are very similar (they are probably littermates), but Gulayo has perfect ears and a big cyst on his chest so he's sort of easy to ID, while Dzombo has a chipped right ear (check individual pics).
Indlebe is the easiest to ID by far as he is missing half his left ear.
Ilanga has a unique face and recently got a small dent on his left ear. He also has amber eyes and this sort of short face. According to guides he is the loner of the 6.

Northern Black Dam males found the Monwana females that have cubs with the Young Giraffe male. Unknown at the moment if the cubs are dead or alive.
