There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

Its not "random", i explained my theory many times here already, obiviously i cant prove it because i dont have good photo of them as cubs/subs with the pride.
3 young nomadic males, described as Imbali nomadic young males, returned back into Mluwati Concession in early 2020 (older ones then those 5 Imbali down at H1-2 and H10), you can clearly see 2 older, dark maned males, and 1 younger blonded one:

They where again seen later that year on Kruger Sightings, just east at S125 (i posted it here).
Then in early 2021, 3 young males takeover Sweni Pride, just north of this area at s126, 2 older dark maned males and 1 younger blonded one.
Its very likely those are these males, as i said i cant confirm it, because that picture is blurry for whisker spot ID's.
Similarities in looks of 3 SPM's to 2Mluwatis/ 5 Imbali males are also very close, Its not that i took randomly photo of lion from idk Satara and another from Pretoriuskop, without any context, and claim they are related because they are similar lol.
