 Are they any relation to the previous TDMs? If not, do we know where these boys came from, how old they may be?

We don't know the pride they were born in, or who their fathers are, their origin is a msytery so we were just wondering if they could have been sired by the 4 male coalition that Mangheni and Talamati were part of, based on looks ( and maybe location? )

As for age I'd think they are at least 6yo, likely older based on photos of them years ago and the current photos.

You should post some of these photos of Mhangenis and Talamati in "Majingilane/Matimba coalition lineage" threads.

Theres lack of good photos of these boys.

i am confused the talamati was alive all this time ?

Talamati son of the Matimbas, born in 2012, yes, he was alive, maybe even is, while Mangheni is very likely dead, it wasn't said if the condition of the male with him last year was bad, so it could be Talamati or any of the other 2 unrelated males.

But if you're talking about the older Talamati male sired by N.Avocas, unless he somehow got lost in a Kruger area without roads, he seems to be a goner as only his younger brother returned to Sabi Sands and has been sighted in many months. Reply
