Those males are younger then 4 Hippo Pools young males who are nomadic, prob another, younger litter, right?? Or are this old photos?

This was posted today,Nonetheless, I believe this is an old sighting from a couple of weeks ago.
In my personal opinion, They look like a younger litter

A young boy from the Lubyelubye Pride with real character. Notice his skew lower right canine, it doesn't fit into his upper jaw and has made an indentation in his upper right lip.
It was most likely caused by an injury, he also has lots of scarring on the right side of his face or it could have simply erupted naturally skew. Either way he seems pretty happy with life along the Sabie River, Kruger National Park.

Actually, His injured back leg was his principal cause of his demised. He had nasty injured on his leg for over 1 year and has been slowing him down a lot, Although, He was trying to keep up with the other 2 Shishangeni males and their prides, He couldn't do it for a long time

|Vurhami Male Lions Pushed Off Buffalo Carcass By Huge Crocodiles|
An interesting sighting we had recently of the remaining 2 Vurhami male lions, this was along the Crocodile river, Mjejane Game Reserve, Kruger National Park.

They had taken down a buffalo during the night and were slowly pushed off their carcass by some very large Crocodiles. The buffalo was too heavy to move, even these strong male lions struggled to move it, so they eventually conceded to the crocodiles. 

The younger of the 2 Vurhami males was rather brave and attempted to compete with the huge reptiles for a short time before giving up! At least they seem to have had a good meal before the crocodiles took over and their bellies were close to full.

So he is still in the area, a bit north on s145 with portion of Hamiltons pride? As 2 new males came into central Mluwati Concession around Hamiltons Camp and pushed him out.

Those are this 2, s125 males, they where mistaken with Mluwati males by their rangers few months ago:
