"Mo" the bigger #Vurhami male lion looking really magnificent this week close to Crocodile Bridge in the Kruger National Park. He really is a survivor after a very tough year in which he lost most of his brothers.
The remaining 2 males have returned to the periphery of their fathers territory. It will be very interesting to see where they go from here as we head into 2021 and they search for opportunity in a land dominated by older more experienced males and bigger coalitions.

It seems that Mjejanes might be pushing further west into the Mpondo's territory, their offspring in Lukimbi area is around 2 yrs of age, so they might be trying to find new prides..
Idk atm where remaining Mpondos are tbh,did they return south after demise of 5th Mpondo? And no updates on injured Blonded one.

What a stunning specimen this Vurhami male is!
Like father like son.

The team of Jock Safari Lodge have seen only two of the Mpondo males but separate... The blond one in bad condition and the Stumpie tailed one

Indeed, His mane is starting to grow around his neck and on the sides.
If we has in count that he don't had a easy nomadic life, makes sense that his mane hasn't grow quickly. The white male of the Birmingham pride has a very nice mane for his age, I guess he'll grow even more fast than Casper

The larger Mbiri male it's also a very big male. I think also could be one of the biggest of Kruger. Anyway, The Vurhami young male is very big for his age

Scar Mbiri looks very impressive, one of the bulkiest and most muscular lions out there, but theres definetly more taller lions in Kruger, Scar and Shaka are quite similar in height, Scar is only much bulkier.
2 new H7 males dont look any smaller then Mbiris, beautiful specimens also :
Coalitions of Kruger National Park
