A tank of the Kruger National Park - The big Ex-Hamilton’s pride male marking his territory on the S125 last weekend!
This impressive solo male lion used to be the pride male of the Hamilton’s pride till end of 2020 when the two N‘waswitsontso males displaced him. Regardless of whether or not he was forced to spend some time as a nomadic male afterwards it certainly did not harm his physical condition. Each time he was seen, he looked healthy and bulky. This hasn’t changed. Just take a look at that belly, the stocky forelegs and the dark mane! The fact, that he’s been regularly seen around the S125 for almost a year now, confidently scentmarking indicates that he has become a dominant male again. Reports of a couple of females with small cubs in the very same area not far away support that assumption, although male and females have yet to be sighted together. This big boy is in his prime and although a partner would certainly add some important benefits, he has successfully proven that he’s able to fend for himself.
