This is exactly how I recall it as well. I've always assumed that the remaining two RP males got their revenge.

Got it. So, to see if understood correctly. There were rumors about seeing the 3 of them together after getting involve in a second fight against the RP males but there was no photo or video of the one that disappeared, right??

I assume those are 4 young RP males, who recently killed Skorokoro.
Not great, they are 2vs4.
Let me try to understand this.
Are these the four young river pride males that came from the same river pride that the white lion and his two tawny brothers killed 1/3 of their river pride fathers?
Im getting a little confused here with all the river pride males, young river pride males.

correct, there was also a sighting of the two remaining river pride males and one of them had fight marks on its back legs.

The 5 young river pride males that attacked the white male are not sons of the 3 older river pride males, but they came from the same pride as far as I know which is why they have the same names.

Shaka in impressive form, especially considering he's 11 and has almost died from attacks countless times.
You could mistake him for his prime version in this video, what a lion.
As lions age and deteriorate, their strength and ability to hold the territory goes down, but if he and his brother can keep this condition in the near future whatever other males enter their territory, it'll be tough to oust them.
I can't even believe they entered old age late last year, with Shaka badly injured, both constantly in horrible shape throughout several months, with Avoca & Guernsey attacking their pride, things didn't look good, but they bounced back, recovering their condition, dispatching the enemy pressuring them and are now almost always in top condition for 11yo males.

No.
These 4 RP young males come from River Pride Klaserie and are sons of 2 Drift males (Hosi and Socha)
3, now 2 RP males territorial north of Timbavati and who had encounter with Birmingham young males last year, come from River Pride Timbavati (different pride) and are sired by Old River Pride males (Hondo and Xantsema) , they where ousted from natal pride around 2019 by 2 Mbiris.
3 Nharhu males (who are now gone) come from River Pride Klaserie, and are uncles to 4 young RP males, so these boys killed their uncle Skorokoro recently (obviously they dont know that he is their uncle).

3rd male is missing since around very early 2024.
There was post later around mid 2024 which said that all 3 are together, but turned out that was old sighting.
Shame as i think male who died was the bigger and older of the 2 brown ones, so definetly huge blow to them.
