Currently in Madikwe, Etosha are mixed with kgalagadi as Addo males and Kwandwe males are introduced and lions at  Addo are of Kgalagadi origin, not sure of Kwandwe, but defininetly not pure Etosha, could be mix of southern population or Kgalagadi or Kalahari region of Botswana . Madikwe was full of Etosha lions until circa 2010-14. But still there are some pure Etosha in Madikwe now.

Etosha lions and Kgalagadi lions are both from the same subspecies as Kruger lions, right? Tall, big long face, etc. Reply
