Hercules is sired by Trilogy males.
Giraffe young male is also BDM's son.

Unbelievable, with GM missing as well. That's crushing.
But isn't Hurcules' current partner, Sumatra, his own son?

I think Hercules is definitely born in 2014.

Could be possible, As lion mane starts to grow at the age of 1 year old and he in September 2015 had a small blond-mane

Oh, OK, I thought I had read when they lost the Skorokoro Pride that Sumatra was Hercules son, with comparisons to the Notches. I must be confusing two separate things. Thank you my friend!

Thank you for that. That would certainly explain why Hercules appears in such better shape.

Anytime my friend, Hercules and Sumatra males sired a few cubs in the Skorro pride, It's believed that were accepted by the Mbiri males. Although still wasn't confirmed

Nop, those cubs are all dead, only if some lioness was already pregnant when Mbiri males cane, so they accept them as theirs.

I know that the older cubs are dead... I am talking about the new ones.

A gorgeous shot of a one of the two Mbiri males, known as Shaka, whose features are always serious. No one likes messing with him, he is known for his ferocity and constant attack, no matter what it takes.
