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.

I know there's short tail, and the female with a chunk of her ear missing, do the others have any identifying features?
The only other one that has an obvious feature is this dark eyed female (I looked at the lioness channel where these females were listed she’s the fifth one):

I can’t tell anything obvious in the others… they all have the same ears and light eyes so might have to check whisker spots.
I spoke to the admin of the lions of Djuma group and he mentioned he was in contact with somebody who saw 12 Talamatis just this week, so not sure to believe, I don't think that tweeter was lying, maybe someone just told Roy Mkansi some false information
This morning we left camp and responded to lion audio but unfortunately was couldn’t locate them. Soon after one of the other vehicle located the 2 young male lions (Plains Camp) much further south from we seed them the other day. They were both limping with the one worst than the other. We think that they had a run in with the Northern Avoca males. We left them and made our way to the wild dog den and were treated to an awesome sighting with the 6 pup while the adults laid scattered around. After leaving them we made our way back to camp and bumped into the Nhlanguleni female leopard who was on a territorial patrol. We spent a little time with her and let her be as we had to make back in time for guests flight back home.
An amazing end to an awesome safari at Londolozi

Also looks like he’s walking a lot better, see today in Mala Mala:
Yea, looks like he is still limping a bit on front leg, his usually limping back leg looks alright atm.
There's definitely some improvement with Blondies front leg which is a good sign for him but not for the Gowrie males. I hope Tinyo can recover so he has a hope of defending himself if a confrontation occurs.

I think that if there is a confrontation Tinyo will fight and will not leave his brother alone despite his limp, Nhena is the only thing he has and he knows it.
