Great sighting. This Ndhzenga/N'waswitshaka male has a very good mane. He is one stocky lion. I hope these boys will spread their genes in the Kambula pride. Without any doubt, they're currently by far, the strongest coalition in the Sabi Sands. Age and numbers are in their side.

Great video, whoever shot this seems to want to capture Wide Nose’s injury. His leg was tweaked by one of the 3 males during that fight thereby dislocating the hip?

Injury was on knee, with hip he had problems even before.
Amahle (N'waswitshaka/Ndhzenga male) turned out into a gorgeous male lion. In my personal opinion, he's the most impressive of the 4 and the one who's in better condition alongside with Eorenji... Amahle is not the biggest of the 4. But he is one stocky lion and a healthy one.

You think WIde Nose male is bigger? I would not say so myslef.
I don't know which is the biggest of the 4 N'waswishaka males, due the fact I don't follow them much. But at first glance, Amahle doesn't seems the biggest, maybe I'm wrong. Being said that, Also it's good point out that the N'waswishaka not are big specimens like others males in the area (this is more a personal opinion)

Depending of your definition of "biggest" ..
Are you only taking parameter of height? Then no, Amahle is not the tallest.
But if we take all parameters (size, mass and appearence) then yea, Amahle is definitely biggest and most impressive of the 4.
If Gore and Wide-Nose where full healthy, they would prob surpass him tho, as they look to be slighly taller and longer in body, but nowhere near his mass atm.

Indeed, Amahle’s bulky body makes him appear bigger than all the N’was males, but if compared next to each other, Ubuso and Gore are taller. Eorenji is definitely the smallest, barely bigger than Styx females, but still, since size isnt that relevant, he still the first when it comes to mating rights.
