Lions ID's - Tr1x24 - 05-31-2021

I think this thread is much needed as theres many new and some older lions and coalitions in Kruger which are less known and seen, so its hard to ID them and distinguish them when they are spotted.

I imagen this thread to work like this:

- Post a name of a coalition or lion and then under that post a pictures of them, pictures which will be posted should be the best ones on which we can see lions face, whiskers, or some easily recognizable spotts (ear scars, body scars, patches etc). 

- if theres some unknown males to you, post it first under "Who they are? " thread, so you can see if some members maybe know who they are, and then post it here, so we dont spam here. 

- if nobody doesnt know that unknown lion/coalition in  "who they are? thread, just post it here and name them "unknown" and possibly location where they are spotted, so we have them for future sightings

- i think this thread doesnt need to be for discussion (obiviously if somebody post something wrong, correct him), yet mainly for ID's, as we have many threads for discussion already 

- also no need to post here famous lions like Nhenha, Tinyo, Mohawk etc., as they are well known already for everyone. 

- ID's of already gone lions and coalitions are also welcome 

Hope it works well.
