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.

What a great, handsome lion.
He is doing fine with talamatis. ( talamatis breakaway whatever we say)
He fathers 8 cubs with all 3 prime talamatis ladies.
Very curious as to where they came from and who they are. They look so very familiar and new to me at the same time.
First i thought the lesser maned boy may be one of Ginger's sons from Othawa pride that first returned with his Sister. But can't seem to find good whisker shots of ginger's boys

Othawa boys:

He is not one of Othawas, neither was 3rd, missing male.
I agree, especially for older male, he has such "familiar" face, but cant think of any other male who looks like him.
A for 2nd, light maned male, i said this before, he is very similar to Gore Ndhzenga in face.
All recent Mangheni pride sightings have been 5 females with one sub-adult. This means two lionesses are missing or have separated from the pride, one strangely is the sub-adult's mom. Also heard the lionesses are aligning with the PC males? Any information on this from the rangers in Singita / Londolozi ?

That means ONE isn’t with the Pride. They have 6 lionesses and the sub adult. Recently, two lionesses had not been seen with the Pride which were two of the matriarchs but Savannah recently posted seeing 5 and the sub so one has returned. There have been reports seeing a female mating with PCMs which may be the one that is still away. I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say they’re aligning with PCMs since the majority of the Pride is not with them yet. Until we see which 5 are together, we will need to see if the Sub’s mother (previously separated) is back, or if she isn’t, it may be bad news that she’s no longer with us. Let’s wait and see.

At least the subadult is definitely weaned at this ags so lack of milk from his mother won’t be an issue

Mhangenis definitely didn't accept PC males as their pride males.
