Possibly on a mission to sent a message to wandering in a region Skorro males.
Yeah. The Nharhu males have respond their roars.

Our dominant lion, the Giraffe Male, has been scarce of late, seemingly focused on prides and territories beyond our jurisdiction.

Meanwhile his sons, the six young Blackdam males, seem to have regrouped forming a formidable coalition of young lions.

Will this be the time that they try to stamp their authority over the Thornybush reserve? Only time will tell.

An old Picture of 1/5 Jacaranda male lions at Ingwelala.
As far I remember they were dominant of the Western Pride. So the Young males who used to hang with the pride are their sons.

(If I'm wrong in this. Correct me please.) Cheers.

So it seems as if they finally did manage to push their father out. Does anyone know how many sub-adults/cubs the pride has currently?

It seems like the same male, so this 2 are afterall 2 of the 4 Maseke males.

Where is BDM exactly, i have not seen any updates of him for atleast month or 2..

Im afraid that they didn't injured him badly or even killed him.. 

I think Giraffe pride subadults are not with Giraffe lionesses and Monwana males.. There was report that they are on their own, while 3 older lionesses are with Monwana males.

I haven't heard or seen anything about the BDM in a while. I don't think he would be caught easily and is probably lying low somewhere.

According Walkers Bush Villa, Probably move south. And According Ziggi Hugo, further North of them.

Thanks for the update. I think he may move south since he probably knows the area. Might spell trouble for the Mapoza male as I think the BDM has chased him around in the past. I get the impression that the Xikukitsus have struck out on their own and Mapoza is by himself.

I think he moved west into Klaserie, where male lions density is not that high. 

If he moved south he would be spotted already, because lion sightings and reports from that area are regular.
