Lions of Sabi Sands

[Ttimemarti]

And we can’t forget that the ndzengas have the most aggressive females in sabi sands behind them and it’s rumored that they helped kill the othawa male so unless they are willing to mate with the plains camp males they’ll have to face those 5 girls plus 2 ndzengas potentially Reply

Ndhzengas are definetly not 10 yrs old lol.

Which photo as subs?

And how they look in late 2020? They look like normal 5 yrs old lions.

I guess you are ignoring photo of them as ~ 1 year old cubs from late 2016? Or you didnt see it? Reply

Erongji is definitely a few months younger and maybe because they had a hard nomadic life is the reason for his size kinda the same with gore he might’ve been the biggest of the four but he got injured and that stunted him from doing a lot. I remember the photo of the 4 of them when they got chased by the southern avoca amahle was the only one with a mane at the time Reply

1/2 of then look more like Ndzhengas than the trio u mentioned, by far actually. The bigger male almost identical to Amahle/Bigger Ndzhenga. 

Theres some other pics of them on flickr and FB
