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.

No, they are not similar in any way, Sand Rivers have unique noses, nothing similar to old Avocas whatsoever, prob only photo angle (i mean if we choose only photo on which they look similar, you could compare every other unrelated male in Kruger), here are photos where we see they are not similar :

Yea, maybe they are some similar males from different parts of Kruger, but thats very rare.
As for Light Maned Gijima and 3 Ndhzenga brothers, he is similar from any angle, also has same nose, mouth and stocky body structures, also has more orange eyes as Ndhzengas. Another point, is that Ndhzengas mothers estrus cycles match the time of birth of Gijima, 2018.
And, they didnt come from different parts of Kruger, they came from the same area.
Ndhzengas also have unique look, theres no lions in whole Kruger who look similar to them, and now we have that Gijima who looks like them, in the same area, coincidence? I think not.
Im not saying that 100%, im saying its very likely, we will see better when this male fully grows.
