However, I do agree, their manes appeared more developed in that image, than what we see in this picture. But, as we all know, lots of reasons a lion's mane can deteriorate, but this would appear to be a rapid deterioration if it is the same lions.

Those lions where seen in bad condition, starving out and very skinny 3-4 months ago in Manyeleti, in those conditions mane loss is very possible, as well from stress of nomadic life.. 

Im not saying that those are Mluwati males, but it is one of the possibilities, until we actually get photos of them..

Agree entirely my friend, that was the point I was making, we've all seen the deterioration, and the stresses and difficulties of the nomadic life, especially when you tangle with a beast like HB, and it's not going to get any easier with other surrounding males in the area. They have their work cut out for right now in just trying to survive, I believe. Reply
