There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

He has some nasty scars on his back, so he prob had an encounter with some males or prides, but now will be somewhat easier for him..

" In two sightings:

We had spent some time with a female lion who was contact calling all morning. We had our suspicions that there were other lions in the area, so we decided to look around. Not too far from where we had left the female we came across the N’waswishaka males sleeping in a Tamboti thicket.
After finding the Southern Pride female the night before, the next morning we started searching where we left her and after some tracking and trailing we finally found her. She seemed to be on a mission, contact calling regularly and constantly on the move, until she disappeared from our view into a drainage line. That evening she crossed our border and was followed by 4 young males hot on her heels – they were perhaps who she was searching for. "

I really think they are Nkuhuma and Styx males( we see only two lions), I do not think new males come in singita and none of the other reserves seen them, i  think its only speculations.

They confirmed that they seen 3 males, 3rd moved of a bit left..and they where nervous, which NK and Styx definitely are not, and those rangers must know NK and Styx as they where in that area for quite some time.. 

But yes, its strange that no other reserve spot them...they say that they came from the north in northern Singita, they could pass Avocas territory thru Simbambili from Manyeleti, in southern Manyeleti where seen numerous nomadic young males in recent times...so its not impossible..

This young male was seen in southern Manyeleti few days ago, by Tintswalo, with a lioness, they where both shy, but maybe there where more of them in the bush:

The guide has said that there were 3 males, just one of them hiden into the bushes. The seem to be shy and alerted of the vehicle. Most likely they came from the east, from Greater Kruger.

If they are new males, you are right about their way to singita, Simbambili from Manyeleti. who they can be? if i am not mistaken koppies or skorro pride are 3 sub adult males.
