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.

2nd male is quite similar to Mohawk s28 male but this one has different blind eye, so its not him..
Here is what Ricky Da Fonseca says who these boys are :

So, if you think theres a lot of Mazithi males around, well, these guys are apparently brothers of Smudge and Fudge (Dark Mane) Mazithi/Lubyelubye pride males.
We dont have photos of other males, but this unknown guy was seen around s79 recently, so he might be one of their brothers :

And @Brahimlegend posted unknown male on s21 recently (cant find it), so he also might be one of these.
wow amazing there alive i wish we get more updates form them
Throwback to 2010 with the very aggressive silver eye of old Gomondwane males patrolling their territory in the Crocodile Bridge area in the southeastern part of Kruger National Park, the coalition of old Gomondwane males consisted of more than 6 members within their group. And something that made it stand out was that the entire their his members had very dark manes, their legacy is incredible since from Lower Sabie to the crocodile bridge their descendants still remain.

Throwback to 1997 at Satara!!
"No a great photo, but a good story: these two male lions were about 50 yards from the road and about 1.4 mile one of the Kruger rest camps - I forget which, but Satara was/is the lion capital, so maybe that. This was when we were going out for a late afternoon drive after checking in - when we came back an hour later they were still there, and there was a crush of cars stopped looking at them as they sauntered nonchalantly out of the grass and onto the road - we had the honour of having one of them piss against our real wheel! Bat that's another story: at this stage there was just us and a couple of other cars - one of which had a flat tyre, and had called out the AA, whose brave man was on the road replacing the wheel, looking back over his shoulder occasionally. At one point, the lions made a mock charge of about 20 meters - anyone who's watched lions knows that their acceleration is pretty good. The man's eye's went about the size and shape of saucers, but he stuck to his task, while the inhabitants of the car cheerily took photographs from the safety of their vehicle. Respect!"
