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.

This is around Mantimahles territory, this lion is clearly young, i think he might be young Fourways male (sired by Matshapiris), he with his brother and Torchwood male dissapeared into Mantimahles territory in early 2019, could this be him? This is his picture from july 2018 for comperisation, what do you guys think, is it him?

Its not the same angle, but whisker spots are very close.

Edit:

 I took a closer look at whisker spots, this lion is definetly young Fourways male.

Who knows is he alone or with his brother and Torchwood male, maybe we'll see more sightings of him/them.

Unfortunately no, i doubt hes still alive tbh, he wasnt been seen since early-mid 2018 when he left Sabi Sands.

He is very recognizable lion because of his nose, i doubt that he wouldn't be spotted somewhere for almost 2 years now...

Well theres a few pics and videos of young Gomondwanes on Facebook,you can search it out. 

Interesting thing, one of the old Gomondwanes had a blind eye, and now one of the younger ones has the same, just on the different eye:

Four male Lions, one injured, was limping badly at the H11 and S1 junction, near Skukuza





Judging by the place where sighting has been made it is quite likely that those are  N'waswishaka males

Very old/starving lion around Lower Sabie, maybe one of the old Jock males?
