It is presumed they might expelled the 4 young Sopa boys (sons of the Mandevus', in a previous post) out from Olderkesi Conservancy, who thus try their luck some elsewhere areas, for example in Orkirikoi's and Survey pride's territory for last time. 
Also said, these 2 new boys have been frequently seen around Siana lately.

Look on the bigger maned male, he has a beautiful mane, elbow tufts and he even has a small hair on his belly too, very impressive even in his such young age.

Is it known, or even surmised on his age? He appears to be a prime male to my untrained eyes. Regardless of age, he is a gorgeous male, and an absolute tank!

Some more photos of them, the bigger one with hairy belly reminds me a bit of the late legend Olerai.
