Hercules was sired by Trilogy males, not Ross males, and Buddy definitely cant be sired by Ross males because of too little age difference.

Buddy definitely is not 3rd Mhangeni. 

Buddy most likely came from Kruger, because if he came from Sabi Sands/Manyeleti area he would be know by the rangers, like Junior Matimba was. 

I think its very likely that Buddy was sired by Skybed males, as at that time when its speculated that he is born (2012/13??), Skybeds where the dominant males around Orpen area in Kruger. 

But he might also come from very far away area, as nomadic males travel very large territory in search for partners and prides. 

We will never know.

Red Road male is a beast, we can now see what where rangers talking about when they say that he is the biggest male in Manyeleti, in my opinion he is the biggest in this area (Manyeleti, Timbavati, Sabi Sands).

Also, who is this young male of Scorro breakeaway pride?  he is clearly older then Orpen males youngsters, can he be sired by old Avoca/Giraffe males?
