Thats Nkuhuma.

Concerning that Nhenha isnt with him. 

He looks fine, meaning Nhenha was prob caught vs 2 PC males..

I think it's NK as well. You can see how his brow has healed from his old injury.

It's definitely not Nhena as the mane is to light.

The eyes of the Nkuhuma young male look strange to me in these photographs...

It could just be him squinting in the bright sunlight though..

Hoping for the best for Nhenha but prepared for the worst at this point.

Thats the injury to his brow from a a few weeks back and it hasn't healed perfectly. There's photos of it and some were worried he would lose his eye but in the end it was just his brow that was injured.

@DARK MANE , you seem to have disabled PMs, you might wish to enable them, so that we can contact you directly. Also, several days ago, @"Timbavati" and I made posts requesting folks put their respective posts in one thread, Perhaps you did not see these posts, as I see you have made the Nkuhuma post in multiple threads. Please make sure to put your posts in a single thread moving forward, thank you for your understanding.

Not sure! Guessing maybe those Imbali youngsters who have been moving around occasionally.

I thought it was maybe one of Amber eyess daughter from that sighting a few months ago when he joined them but i'm not sure

This is a comparison with the actual plains camp male on the bottom:

So who are that young male and female?

Ok I need to correct this post. This is indeed the Plains Camp male. I can't believe how every ID feature on this lion changed in the past year include loosing half his ears. His whisker line also got messed up by a scratch.

Here's another great sighting on him recently:

Such an impressive boy for just 3.5 years old!
