Imbali update

LIONS OF THE MLUWATI CONCESSION:


The month of May has seen no less than 9 fully grown adult males around the Concession. This has unfortunately resulted in many of our smaller female prides going into hiding. As both the Imbali and Hamiltons Pride currently have young cubs, it is likely that their sudden disappearance is a result of them protecting the young cubs from unknown males.

The Einstein Pride (Imbali Breakaways):
The Einstein Pride seems to have a new member! Einstein, the male after whom the Pride is named has been joined by a much younger male lion who has very little evidence of a mane at this stage. The two males were heard calling early one morning, and our guides managed to find the younger male first who eventually found Einstein. After somewhat of a standoff, where Einstein quickly established his dominance, sticking the younger male with a rather large paw and some very sharp nails, they moved off together.

The Hamiltons Pride:
Towards the end of the month, tracks for the Hamiltons Pride were found heading just outside of the Concession around the S125 Loop. On the same morning, Madala was found heading in the direction of these tracks. Based on the abundance of scavenging birds as well as birds of prey in the area, it is likely that the Pride managed to kill something substantial just outside of the Concession.
We were also very lucky to spent time with the four cubs of some of the lionesses who had left the adorable youngsters in the dense woodland just across the Camp as they went about hunting.
The four of them, though inquisitive of the vehicles, kept a safe distance and occupied themselves by playing around the muddy slopes and fallen tree logs of the area.

No idea even who that male "Einstein" is suposed to be..

That male on the picture looks like one of the S125 males. 

I dont know of any dominant male in that area besides Imbali/S8 male, Hamiltons male and 2 S125 males.. And theres no picture or video of any male from there besides those..

Also are they stil confusing 2 S125 males with Mluwati males Madala and Blondie??

Updates from that area are quite confusing..

I looked around on facebook and this seems to be the only reference to a male called Einstein, the S8 Male 
Guess he controls this imbali breakaway too?

It looks like Imbali male is quite a chad, controling 2 prides in Mluwati Concession and still have time to have affairs in northern Sabi Sands.

Born 2012 into the Nkuhuma pride and sired by the famous Matimba male lions, Junior would quickly become favourite of many lions enthusiast when he managed to survive the take-over of the Birmimgham male lions, Sadly, he passed away in December of last year, When he was seen days before at Buffelshoek with an badly swollen face, which resulted to be Anthrax symptoms, The next days, Junior was found dead by rangerd of Tintswalo at the age of 8.

I dont know. It would help to have some context. 

Perhaps parasites or somekind of skin condition? 
They seem to be an a spot that is hard to clean. Especially if she is on her own or ostracised.
