Any source? Unfortunately no reports were posted on HB since it was speculated that he had died.

Loving it.

But I wish the death claims would stop. If it happens it happens but untill it's certain, it shouldn't be thrown around because one of them hasn't been seen for a while. It should be enjoyable to witness their last hurrah.

I agree @Musa15  let them enjoy themselves with their new pride enough with the death claims.

For all those claiming that Hairy Belly Matimba is dead. Here they both are together tonight on game drive. Flat cats! Still in the same place probably! ?

After running around for a year, seeing them lounging like this back in sabi sands is great.


RE: the Matimba coalition - Legendary - 06-21-2018

Interestingly non of the two Original Birmingham males had this kind of mane that Hairy Belly and Tinyo have... And Matimbas are known to interact with this pride since 2010 and siried their first official cubs with them in 2013
And these Birmingham males were seen feeding on carcasses with the Matimba males many times as reported...

So?

Not quite sure about that, but I fail to see any kind of point with this.

No.

One of them disputed a carcass with Hairy belly, neither one of them coming on top. That's very different from "feeding together".

A facebook page posts photo from Tinyo and says that is son of HB....Is that true?

No, absolutely not. 

Legendary posted the same thing and I deleted it immediately for that reason. 

There are many people over at facebook that like to spread misinformation and outright lies about the lions, so you have to be very careful about it.

One of the Matimba males waiting for the morning to warm up, here we had the two brothers together and vocalising, they seem to be determined to live their last part of their lives to the fullest.
