I think i've found 1 of the 2 "unknown" young male lions in MalaMala.
Photo of Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge (Mluwati Concession) , end of March 2020:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Little cut on the right ear doesnt match, but first photo is 3 months before, so he could get it easly by now,but whisker spots and other scars match, its the same lion. Unfortunately we dont know if this lion comes from some pride in Mluwati Concession (Hamiltons, Imbali?) or was he just passing by thru that area.. If he/they came from Mluwati Concession, he was most likely ousted by new males in that area, and judging by his age that would meant that he is son of Mluwati males.. 
" Four very full lions decided to spend a good part of the day right next to a watering hole sleeping and occasionally getting up for a drink. We are not sure what kill they managed to make but it sure fed all 4 of them well. "
" Four very full lions! "
2 Sand River young males and their sister in Sabi Sabi:

Before the S. Avocas takeover the Sand River pride there where 8 subadults there sired by Mantimahles (some say 3 males and 5 females, some 5 males and 3 females, so idk for sure), but now only 4 are seen around (2 males and 2 females) fate of the other 4 is unknown, they might be dead or somewhere in Kruger..   *This image is copyright of its original author Hey guys this is a match I think, the 3 males in malamala are the same 3 that were seen east of sabi sands a while back.

In MalaMala where 2 males, 3 where in Singita.. I dont think those are the same males, male on the left photo looks older based on mane than the male on the right photo who is in MalaMala. But those 3 might be the males in Singita, we dont know because we seen only 1 male of those 3 and from distance..
