They both were very impresive youngsters when they were yet in Sabi Sands and it would be pity if they would not survive. I wonder what could happen to Long Mane  Styx. I hope that he as well is alive and well somewhere in Kruger.

I think this is the same male reported in Mala Mala around two years ago.  At that time, Mala Mala reported a lone male lion with swollen gum/mouth and several people including rangers said it was the Styx male. This male also has the swollen gum condition so I think its the same Styx male.  Also, interesting thing is that during this same time, the Birmingham males were reported to kill a lone male lion from Kruger that crossed into their territory. Many people thought that it was the Styx male with the swollen gum that was killed but it was later determined to be a different male because the Birmingham had bit through the lone male's face making it look like the dead male had the swollen gum.  Now I am wondering whether the male that was killed could be this Styx male's brother.
