One of the five young Vuyela males who have made a dent at Klaserie. He for one has been identified many times as a River pride male.

Tintswalo update

The lions have been incredible lately. The Koppies Pride are seen daily, and often in the company of at least one Orpen Male, who is mating with the younger lionesses whilst the oldest lioness tends to her single cub. Interestingly the Orpen Males are not chasing off the sub adult male in the pride and allowing his presence even when the big males are with them.
The Nharu Pride are in great shape and are still moving around the main dam area in the company of the Red Road Male who is looking amazing. He is definitley going to be one of the largest male lions we have had in the reserve for a long time. They have had several attempts on the buffalo herds in the area with little success. We haven’t seen any signs of new cubs from these females.
The Mbiri's are back on the reserve after a small time spent in the neighbouring Timbivati. They seem to be moving far in search of game with little success even with all the large plains game in the area at the moment. This is quite typical at this time of year where herbivores are in peak condition making it harder for the predators.

is he thin from mating or is that bursitis becoming a bigger issue?


RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Potato - 01-15-2020

Most likely bovine tuberculosis.

Lions have stolen the show once again. Most prides have been seen, with a standout sighting happening just yesterday where we found the Birmingham breakaway pride surrounding the carcass of an adult female giraffe. They were not eating on it as the Red Road male and young Koppies male had chased them off. That night they were all feeding off the carcass together, but things were very hostile. The young Koppies male is finding refuge with the Red Road male due to the Orpen Males spending time with the Koppies females
are the Red Road male and the young Koppies male still together ?

Red Road male:
He is in exellent condition, hanging with Nharu pride, also one of his fathers, the last old Avoca/Giraffe male, was also with them.

In the centre of the reserve the Red Road male was seen around Main dam with members of the Nharu pride, he seems to be holding firm with the Orpen males pre occupied with the Koppies females in the North. The Giraffe Avoca male seems to be holding on to life but is moving a lot through the centre of the reserve, not sure what he eats but also seems to be doing okay.

wonder why the Red Road male and the old Avoca/Giraff male didn't team up ?

"are the Red Road male and the young Koppies male still together ?"

No.

"wonder why the Red Road male and the old Avoca/Giraff male didn't team up ?"

Possibly old Avoca is already so weak that coming into his prime Red Road male doesn't see him as a valuable companion.

The Two Red Road Females now are part of the Birmingham Pride (I think mothers of the white lion)
