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.

Agree, i think i never seen such a dark mane on a lion who just turned 5 yrs of age, amazing.
I could think of few like for example Monwana boys. The more dominant Matshapiri also had very dark kind of mane. Here he at around 5 years old as well:

I was a big fan of the Matshpiris, that's the Mohawk Matshpiri though and the less dominant one as far as I know. That young male is his spitting image at the same age though.

Yes, they look very alike, exept that Fourways male have full mane.

Idk if there where only 2 or more on this sighting.
Originaly there where 4 of them, 1 older, first male on those pictures, thats the male who is known as Mpondos son :
*This image is copyright of its original author
Althrough he is most likely older and sired by Stolsnek males, before Mpondos conquered Renosterkoppies and he was prob adopted by Mpondos.
Younger male is 1 of the 3 Mpondos son from Renosterkoppies pride, They went nomadic in late 2019 after their fathers moved south and DeLaportes moved in their area... Idk if theres only this one left of the 3..

Got confirmation from local guides those two males known as Talamati males are sons of
Skybeds.
Thanks to Charlie Van staden and local guides.

Yea that was obivious from their looks, sons of Scar and the male who was often with him, "Last Skybed"..
Last Skybed was seen with this 2 males and a pride in late 2019 in south Manyeleti.
Any info about the 3rd male who was seen with them at Imbali?

There is reports of other males in area and also that one at imbali but they have been seen since and before a lot of times just two and I went through all pictures of these guys available and I could not find any proof the other males are indeed in partnership with these two. And local guides only confirmed two. So for now just two.
