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.

In my personal opinion,The Othawa male is around one of the most handsome lions in Sabi Sands,That mane!,That stare! What a beast!!
Not just Sabi Sands but Kruger as a whole. Sabi Sands has housed extremely handsome lions over the years like, Blondie Nkuhuma, Pretty Boy ,Ratsa, Ndunha, Nhenha, Nsuku, Hip Scar and now the Othawa Male, the Torchwood Young Male and the Styx Young Male are some of the most beautiful lions around. Junior and the 2 Othawa and some of the Kambula Young Males look like they will be very handsome as well.
Totally agree! The Othawa male has one of the most epic and incredible manes that I never have see on a lion at such young age! He's definitely going to be a true beast

I don't think the Othawa Male will develop any further. Just like his brother, the Styx Male, his mane might get darker but that's about it. He is entering his prime at 5+ years and is in prime condition. Unlike the Tumbela who can still grow out their manes and bulk up, he is healthy. Same goes for 3 of the N'waswitshaka. The gored male needs to further develop but with his injury, I'm just not sure how much he can with his injury but we will see.

Yea, Othawa male is 6 yrs old in few months, he is entered his prime years..some males enter those years sooner then others, because of various reasons (genetics, stress, nomadic life, food suply, injuries etc..).

Who knows, The lions reach their prime at the age of 7 to 8 years old, At least, I think, The Othawa male will developed even more. Perhaps in size, height or weight.
He is looking very good in this video and screenshots, and It's because the OM had a very good life comparing to other young males

No its because he has nothing more to develop, that he won't. Lions also stop growing at the age of around 4 to 5 years old just like humans stop at a certain age. He is also in peak physical condition so he cant bulk anymore either. I don't think he will physically change after this besides a darker mane, scars and ageing.

Well, Then, Going through this logic, the Torchwood male won't develop more than he has already developed so far. I was believing, That as the Othawa male has always been well feeding, maybe that help his growth more. also following the logic of some guides who have said that lions can achieve their prime and will grow in size, weight, And their absolute development at 8 years approx.

No the Torchwood Young Male is still young. The Othawa Male is almost 6 years old. The Torchwood Young Male can still develop his mane and size just like the Othawa Male did over the last 2 years. I don't mean the Othawa Male won't reach peak physical condition which he can but he won't be able to grow more. He can't get taller and I feel he is already eating well so I don't think he will become larger. But he can become leaner and more muscular. That doesn't mean he will become bigger though.
One of the two males from the Kruger who are dominant over the Torchwood Pride:
Caption: “These boys are here to stay. Our two males from the Kruger National Park have been seen more and more. They are with the Torchwood Pride with three cubs and by the looks of it, three more females are pregnant”
The Othawa pride (Othawa boys M&T) with their sisters
the lioness in front It's mother of Sassy and the prince Othawa.
her was a gorgeous lioness! Those two small cubs in the picture didn't make it! Sadly... Photo credits: Paul Heckel Singita-June 2010
