I would like to tell you about some Lions who unfortunately are not as popular as their famous brothers the Majingilanes. These lions reigned over Sabi Sand Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger Park. They are the true fathers of 7 Gomandwane Males the one we know ( the eastren ones Tank , Blondie ...etc and the westren Gomondowanies  .

Part 1
In the beginning of 2008, the two Muntshe Males were born and are the offsprings of the five Old Leeupan/Mantimahle Coalition.

The narrative commences with Old Leeupan Males taking over Mantimahle Pride, Mazithi Pride, and Muntshe Pride as well as other prides that subsequently gave birth to various males.

The following is based on the chronological order of their discovery.

The first Muntshe Male I discovered will be named Muntshe Male #1...

Features
Aka "Wired Nose"
He had a mark that looked like a 7 on the left side of his nose and is easily recognizable.

Muntshe Male #2...

Features
Aka "Three Tooth"
He lost his lower right canine tooth for unknown reasons, and him and "Wired Nose" were referred to as H10 Twins by photographers. He was also the old male lion wandering with seven Gomandwane Males in 2017.

In Kruger, the Muntshe Pride is a mega pride that encompasses a large area between the Nkumbe and Mlondozi Dams.The famous photographer Arno Meintjes captured four of the five old Leeupan/Mantimahle males near the Mlondozi Dam on November 4, 2007. The location of the photos and the sightings of Old Leeupan Males were discussed by Mr. Arno in the comments section. What we confirmed is that the Old Leeupan Males completely covered the Muntshe Pride territory. Some photos were taken by Mr. Christoff Stoffel Botes on the Nkumbe/H10. He found Muntshe #1, aka the Wired Nose, with Muntshe Pride lionesses and cubs in January 2011.
The following pictures show Three Tooth and  Wired Nose with their  natal pride, Muntshe Pride, in November 2011.

For friends interested in how Muntshe Males ruled over Gomandwane Pride and became fathers of 12 Gomandwane Males, please watch part two.

The post been Remake becouse there is some mistakes like the date and the 2 males we wrote about them [No2 and No3 ] who are officaly born in 2006 diffrent littilers than wired nose and 3 tooth  from my late post about them and forgive us .
