As far as young males go, his mane did start developing early but now it is breathtaking. In Sabi Sands, only Nhenha is comparable in terms of looks but I still see him as a clear second even though he is much older and in his prime. Of the other relatively younger dominant males, even though the North Avocas and Tumbelas are older than the Othawa, none of them look as beautiful.

Tumbelas are not older then Othawa male .. They are born in Nharu pride from December 2015 to mid 2016.. 
Othawa male is born in very early 2015..

The N.Avoca males are older for 2 years or so (they were born in mid 2013 
The Othawa male was born in February 2015 and the Tumbela males were born in November 2015 onwards. Maybe, 2016.

The intense stare of the Ottawa male. I thoroughly enjoy the floppiness of his mane at the top.  An impressive male lion to say the least.

I’m guessing Sand River Lionesses, Avoca, and cubs.
