Lions of Timbavati

[Potato]

One of the newest dominant male #lions to hold a territory in the reserve here at @royalmalewane in South Africa    
This is the larger of the 2 #xikukutsumales and is a beast for his young age due to inheriting Ross male genes, before they ventured South East and took over the Birmingham Pride.
Him and his brother have partnered with the #mapozamale #lion to form a formidable coalition.
They do however have the small task of testing their strength and dominance against a 6 male lion coalition from the  @blackdampride who are now also maturing and developing into a fearsome bunch. They made an appearance again this morning after a long absence, venturing far and wide in neighbouring reserves testing the waters of independence.
Action to be captured on our #wildlife photographic #safaris for the months to come.
