The Charleston Males and Their Male Lineage

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"The Charleston males, after joining up with the Southern Pride, showed a lot of affection towards the young cubs."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
From Kirkman's Kamp:
It's been an incredible 4 days as the Charleston male lions have been on a buffalo kill with a male Leopard not more that 50 meters away waiting with anticipation.

What a way to see off a great year! Seen on safari for the last time in 2016… The Charleston Males brought down a female buffalo and were seen resting beside their kill. Whilst on the other side of the reserve the Southern Pride females took down two buffalo right next to each other  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

"The Southern Pride managed to take down a big Buffalo bull yesterday afternoon and had finished it before the morning sun peeked over the plains."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"With great surprise, while searching the Sabie River bank for hippos or crocs, we found the Charleston males resting beneath some beautiful Mahogany trees this morning."  *This image is copyright of its original author
After reuniting during the night, brotherly love turned into war as the Charleston males fought over the attentions of one of the females, sending the cubs scurrying for cover. Peace prevailed and they managed to finish off their recent buffalo kill.

I really believe that Mazino, the lion with the receding fang will keep it like this during his whole future life...

From yesterday: The Southern Pride and the now somewhat calmer Charleston males were located again this morning under a light sheet of rain which seemed to have cooled the tempers of the two males. There was still a little bit of tension present between the two.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

We found the Southern Pride and the Charleston males on a mission this morning. We followed them for a fair distance as they moved through the wet vegetation. There was still some tension between the males as the dominance between them appears to constantly change. There was another altercation between them this morning. The females and cubs seemed to be highly affectionate this morning as the Mandleve female was mobbed by 5 of the cubs at one time! The lions were very relaxed towards the end of morning safari.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
