Nhenha always sounds a bit hoarse to me. Love how he goes cross-eyed when he roars.

Above is a YouTube video of one of the BB boys with a Kambula lioness. Is it true that the Kambula lioness are descendants of the Mapogos through their mothers?

The big boy Nhenha again...

And Mfumo from December. A couple of rangers have now confirmed that he is traveling on his own further north of his three brothers. He is a brute of a lion, but I hope he steers clear of other coalitions.

A bone shaking roar at close quarters is something truly to behold. The vibrations are felt running through the vehicle and the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. This male lion, one of the magnificent Birmingham coalition, roars into the evening sky and all who hear it know that this is their territory and they are here to stay.

Yes, their mothers were sired by Mapogos with Tsalala pride


RE: The Birmingham Males - vinodkumarn - 07-28-2018

Anybody has knowledge about Mfumo in recent past.
Malamala is always reporting about 3 males only now a days.


RE: The Birmingham Males - Herekitty - 07-28-2018

@PolicemanBob the Ntsevu/Kambula pride are the offspring of the Majingilanes and the Mhangeni pride, and the Mhangenis were fathered by the Mapogos. So the impressively large lionesses of the Ntsevu/Kambula pride have both Mapogo and Majingilane blood. Therefore if they do manage to raise some cubs from their coupling with the Birminghams, they will contain the bloodlines of all three of the recent dominant male dynasties of the northern Sabi Sands. This blog from Londolozi details the background.
