There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The second male to walk past the vehicle (older/bigger male) looks like a mini Dark Mane Mantimahle. He was completely unfazed by the people and the jeep, gave them a proper 'couldn't care less' look.

He really does look like a confident young male! Also clearly a bit older/more developed than the other two in the video with him.

It was but in different thread.
This is Orange Mane, last of Mantimahles, last time seen late 2022/early 2023 around Renosterkoppies.
I wonder May he had more cubs. He must of been around more lions. Like Mohawk he is with two Nukhuma male lions. I wonder we’re more sons around; Mantimahles had more sons away from Sabi sand?

Yea, they already had subadult offspring on s21 in 2020:
Later in 2021/22, Orange Mane and Boss where seen with Renosterkoppies pride, and who knows what was Orange Mane (maybe even Boss) doing from late 2022/early 2023 (their last sightings) to now.
So yea, they might have many offspring in Kruger we are not aware off.

So while it refers to him as the '5th and last Mantimahle male', I take it he is in fact a different male from the one known as the '5th male' when they were still a coalition of 5? This isn't the male that went north with his two Mantimahle sons?

I asked the same question in the thread "Coalitions of KNP" and it was answered :)
I know that has been clarified already but just to let it registered in their thread topic The remaining Mantimahle, Oranage Mane or #3 back in his prime days
