I believe and most likely that the young Birmingham lioness was born at the end of 2016/early 2017.
As per Road du Plessis around March 2020 she was 3.5 years old.
So,around say 2017 could be correct

Birmingham young male is few months over 4 yrs old.., he is definitely born in 2016.

One from the archives when the Giraffe Male was mating with one of the Blackdam pride female lions. No cubs were produced from this mating period, as it was a false estrous and she was not receptive.

Hi OrcaDaBest.
Great post... You should post this video either on Birmingham male lions thread / Lions of Sabi Sands instead of here
Best regards: Tino Armando


RE: Lions of Timbavati - BA0701 - 10-23-2020

Can anyone confirm that is the Young Birmingham Male mating with that lioness? This male looks lighter colored to me, perhaps it is the lighting and the angle of the shot. It is definitely not one of the Ross Males, who appear to be quite close by during this interaction. The young male's leg doesn't seem to be bothering him at all, and he is absolutely massive on top of her, he is really beginning to fill in really well. Either way, this could mean a whole lot of trouble for him, especially if Tyson sees him. Interaction happens at around 7:14

Ok, so after watching it again, when he walks away from her, there is a very slight limp visible.







RE: Lions of Timbavati - BigLion39 - 10-23-2020

@BA0701...

 I believe  That is a young male and a female from the Mara.  That young male has a lot lighter overall color than the young Birmingham male imho.
