About #898: What a beautiful male lion !

But I don't understand his nickname "Lipstick". Were his lips particularly red when he was young ?

Don't know. They are known as 4KM males. 2 of them died/disappeared.
Only 2 are left. Blackie is his partner.
Both of them has very very beautiful black manes.
Arguably the best manes in Masai Mara Reply

Pic#896 Any word on who theses boys are and where they are from? I would guess somewhere in Kruger. 

Nope, reportedly they are from Masai Mara
They are from Notch blood line Reply

I think it's because of the dark mark below his lower lip. Reply

This was taken at the end of August 2016. There was an attempted takeover by some subadults. I'm not sure if this is Karibu or Rafiki. Can anyone ID?
