Debates by who? lol. There was never any report that Junior is alone, on the last sighting, another mini Matimba was with him, lying next to him, after that they where not seen again, so idk from where you get that, because its false. I didn't say thats 100% them, im saying we need to look up to these 3 "to see if it is them", thru better close up pictures and videos. Idk why you are so negative? Acting like theres 0% chance thats them. Being same constitution, same age and in same part of Kruger, there is a chance thats them. Especially as we now know that these 3 are not other 2 young coalitions who where previously look up to maybe be Othawas as they where in that area, and with similar constitution (having 1 more mature male) , as 4 Skukuza males where seen 2 days ago on Skukuza CAM and 3 males who attacked Ndhzengas are now down to 2 and week ago 2 are seen at Kirkmans Kamp. Ofc they can be some random new young coalition, but until we actually can prove, there is reason and chance that they could be Othawas, regardless if you think that theres no chance. So lets hope we get another sighting of those 3. (05-14-2022, 03:14 PM)Tonpa Wrote: Some interesting news from MalaMala in their monthly report. They report seeing both Kruger males alive. Hmm, isnt it more likely that those are 5th and his son? And they encountered Torchwoods?

Does anyone know about any physical uniqueness of those 3 boys so that it will be easy to identify them. From this distance its impossible to tell, also quality is low, neither of 3 Othawas has some unique features which would be spotted from that distance. Also at this point 2 mini Matimbas would pretty much catch Junior in size, as they are over 3.5 yrs old by now. If we get better photo of Junior, he would be quite easy to recognize.

Maybe the Kruger male and the Skyded son have pulled a kumana-maputo move lol 
I don’t know or recall if we’ve mentioned here,,,but for weeks now, I’ve suspected one of the Talamati YMs has been separated from the Pride. In all recent sightings of them up north, we can only see one. I know me and @lionuk had asked Tendai about the second boy and he said he was there, but Sabi Sabi also posted on their blog and captured a photo of the lone Separated Boy down south.

They report seeing both Kruger males alive. Highly unlikely since they are both dominant males. Before Imbali male moved off the area, he had territory between the Skybed son and Kruger male, which prevented altercations between these 2. Since he has vacated his Imbali pride, that pride is now vulnerable, and Kruger male and Skybed son can both take it over. Also they are encountering each other more. I do believe the same as Tr1, it is the fifth Mantimahle and son, since the they do look like the 2 Kruger males as the missing one had a lighter mane
Skybed son isn't a dominant male, he's a nomad. but yeah still unlikely
The way it's described just doesn't seem like a pride interacting with foreign males, MalaMala might mis-identify the males but seems strange they would also misread the behaviour
Nkuhuma sub-adult group on WE now, seems they're too big now to all stay together permanently
One of the young males killed a Leopard tortoise   *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

This means that they were not the 2 males Mala Mala mentioned, which means it is more likely that its the 5th male and his son Edit: I just realised I posted the wrong photo for the Skybed son, I will try to find it and post it soon (05-14-2022, 08:31 PM)Mdz123 Wrote:(05-14-2022, 08:03 PM)Tonpa Wrote: Skybed son isn't a dominant male, he's a nomad. but yeah still unlikely Well it looks like unfortunately I lost the photo, but I definitely remember that the person who sent me the photo mentioned he was seen at Talamati bush camp |
