Shishangaan Male Lions

[Timbavati]

Welcome to Shishangaan male lions thread. 
This thread is dedicated with the purpose of follow this coalition of four males born in July 2014 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

The Shishangaan coalition consist of 4 males including the adult white male lion (the only adult-white male lion in the wild) The Shishangaan 'young' males were born in July 2014 into the Shishagaan pride and were fathered by the Shishagaan males in Singita Lebombo. The Shishangaan coalition made up of 9 males at one point. Unfortunately, in October 2018, a coalition of nomad killed to four of the young Shishangaan males. The tragedy has left five of them alive and they've started their nomadic journey as 5. However, With a little throwback to two years ago more or less. The fifth Shishangaan young male disappeared, And only four of the nine reached the adulthood. Currently they're establising with the Semana pride in Kruger and they already mated with some females back in July. Which means that they already could have fathered their first litter of cubs. Without a doubt, these four beast are making their name known  by themselves in Kruger!
