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.

They are on the ground, working there, seeing the prides/coalitions/nomads on a daily basis. In this case, I also believe it is true that there are three sons of the Imbali (S8) Male from that same-named pride that are his sons
I am not " doing my own way", I am just trying to provide correct info, supported by evidence, and years of following this lion.
Not sure how you think they are brothers, when theres footage of both groups in 2020, where Wonkey Eye is ~2 yrs old sub with his nomadic group, while his 2 younger Imbali partners are with imbali pride and S8, as few months old cubs.
I didnt meant to "disrespect" your opinion or info, but are you sure that your source has that info? They might not.
This is not 'merely' my opinion, but I asked officials and had a couple of positive responses from different areas that, in fact, yes, there are 3 Imbali sons, and that they are all the sons of the Imbali or S8 Male. They might be mistaken, however when even one guide/ranger/lodge admin tells me one thing vs. what you tell me, I tend to take the formers' words most of the time, and especially if there is more than one source telling me.
Did you, really, need to bring this up again? We get it, you believe the guides over another member. Time to move on.
