Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future.

Agree, i think they only lack confidence atm.
I was a bit worried about Wide Nose male, as he had (maybe still has) leg injury and prob because of that he lost a big portion of his mane:

But despite mane loss, here in this picture he looks to be in perfect condition:

Physically he doesn't look to be in too bad a shape. He seems to be recovering his body mass and if he gets in on a few kills he should be ok. I am afraid times will be hard for Othawa Boy or even BBoys as they are the one's in control of big prides. That's bound to attract more attention.

They have been seen close to H3 road, near Skukuza, i will try to find more info of them.
At the end of all this male was not one of the Nwaswitshaka as he does not match any of the members of the coalition.. while he does match one of the young Mpondo/Renosterkoppies males, sons of the Mpondo males

There are 2 Mpondo sons right? So Nwaswishakas dont have 2 big brothers?

if they have 2 older brothers, but Hanno Erasmus has said that the children of the Mpondo (Renosterkoppies males), have been seen frequently in lions sands and their adjacencies

Hair/mane loss does accure when theres mange, he had some dark spots on his body in past sightings, but i tough that where scars, but obiviously he has mange for quite some time now.
He isnt limping anymore which is good, he will recover.
