He resemblances a bit to the old Avoca #2 as well.

Those boys are definitely one tight pair. You hardly see one without the other. That bodes very well for their future, and their legacy.

Dark Mane has decided to stay near the Impala kill - whether or not he decides to climb up there and get the carcass remains to be seen. Either he'll do that or he will leave but right now he is simply staying put.
Apparently he is on Djuma (earlier this afternoon)

Ok it is now confirmed that DM didnt find his brothers since he is back north and probably wont help them in the action against N’was males

I think the important point is he went that far south. Lions still maintain communication through scent and roars. Just because he didn’t find them yesterday doesn’t mean he won’t. And the confrontation with the N’Was won’t be a one time event. Today it’s Mohawk and Blondie handling the situation but over the course of the next few months the whole dynamic can change. It could even be more N’Was going up against Bboys with the Avocas further north watching what happens. So we just have to wait and see…

I don't see the resemblance, personally, however I see that Brutus resembles the BYM. Blondie looks like he could be sired by Avoca 2, though. I have an eye for these things, I believe. RRM to me looks more like Avoca 2 than the BYM. It's interesting how several of us on this board sees certain resemblances others do not at all.

That's the reason why determining paternity through looks isn't a valid metric in the human world, people see what they want to see

Sasha is brave and clever young leopard. DM probably thought that the effort of climbing up the tree was not worth it.
