Well, I think the picture is very in bad quality to check the Whiskers match.
I believe the much better idea would be. At least if we search more about the S1 Area and S21.
Doing a job for our own, But after all trying to find what we want.

This is one of the things I like about lions, they have such unique faces!  Just look at them.  How different they are!  The Renosterkoppies male with his solemn look, the long snout.  One of the older N'was. looks quite interesting with his square, long snout and calm look. Very nice, deep reddish mane.

Renosterkoppies males, near Skukuza, late 2017:

They are 2 brothers, born around 2012/13? or even older, sired by Sand River males (if they are older than Old Sand River males). 

Them in 2016, they had pretty bad mange in those years:

They are very recongizable as 1 of them have cut on his nose, and the other a big bite mark on his back.

Scar Nosed male in early 2017 near Skukuza:





Back scared male near Nkuhlu in early 2018 :





I always taught that this male known as "nomadic" Renosterkoppies male is their brother, but he isnt:


*This image is copyright of its original author


I find out that there was a lot of splitting in Renosterkoppies pride at that time, and theres prob Renosterkoppies breakeaway pride, so these guys are prob not born in the same pride or if they are than this male is younger than them. 

Also there are now new generations of Renosterkoppies males, sired by Mpondos, 1 male is older around 5 yrs old, and 3 are younger around 3-4, so theres a lot of Renosterkoppies males around.

But i havent find anything about these 2 older brothers since that video in 2018, they had territory in between Mpondos and Mantimahles, so they are either ousted from that area or are killed, i will try to find more info where they are today..

An amazing sighting of this guy and his even bigger friend near Lower Sabie.
Even from the relative safety of a car, it's still pretty terrifying being so close to such a fearsome predator. More so when they're seemingly looking straight at you...

No, They at the moment never have went far up of their main territory,Anyway they aren't in Sabi Sand yet, our Tinga is a quite distance, KNP Concession.
However those boys are a threat for any coalition in Sabi Sand...

Tinga is 1 km from Sabi Sands border.. So thats very close..

It seems that rumors that Mpondos are pushing DeLaportes back north are true..

But not all Mpondos are here, few of them are far south in Jock Concession.. So this 2 boys need to be carefull, there are 3 DeLaportes around..
