RE: Lions of Timbavati - BigLion39 - 11-23-2022
YBM, mane he keeps getting his hind quarters into trouble! Lol! Gotta protect those! Hope he'll heal quick! Atleast he'll had a lot of practice with a bad back hip/leg!
RE: Lions of Timbavati - criollo2mil - 11-23-2022
Western Pride Male Sub Adult, son of the Skorro Males continues to look well under the watch of Skokorro, Nharhu.
"Future of the Western Pride?", Timbavati, Private Reserve, South Africa, Nov 2022 - To end my 2022 safari calendar I took a 'selfish trip' to visit my friends at Leadwood Private Camp Timbavati along with 5 friends. On our first game drive we found the Western Pride lions. This young lion immediately caught my eye.
During the trip I tried a new photo technique for me to get super low angle photos of my subjects and/or eye level shots. I connected my OM System OM-1 and 40-150mm lens to a monopod and then inverted the monopod over the side of the game drive vehicle with the rear screen facing up toward me. I focused and fired the camera with the RM-WR1 Wireless Remote Control. This is the very first image with the new technique. After this shot, I was hooked. btw, I would like to have used a wider angle lens, but wanted to keep my distance from the subject to not stress them and have them act in their natural way. The challenge was pre-guessing the amount of zoom to use. In this particular shot I'm at 120mm (240mm equivalent).”

This thread, or the Avoca Males thread, would be the right place for it. Great find!

Does anyone have the exact ID of all 7 Avoca/Giraffe males? This guy is clearly one of them, but I only have good photo of Brutus who I believe was the leader and most famous member of the coalition.

"We have been very lucky to spend a lot of time with this gorgeous boy lately. He and his brother old boy have been around the females of the kudyela breakaway pride, ready to mate again."
Looks like the Scarface Machaton is gone now

What a great sighting, they both look fantastic, and TYM with that beautiful black mane of his. BYM might be a late bloomer in regards to his mane, along the lines of how Shaka Mbiri looked for some time only to now be filling out really well.
