Lions of Timbavati

[Herekitty]

@Peteporker - changing lion dynamics in the Manyeleti, it'll be interesting to see how the Orpen males go. Here's a shot of the young Avoca male who the article refered to as mating with the Talamati pride there. Image by Christophe Philips, November 15, 2018

It might be worthwhile  to have a look at the old Ross male (we now know he was a Giraffe male) who was the last living among the fathers of the Avoca/Giraffe (they too were all Giraffes) males who still inhabit Timbavati, Manyeleti and Thornybush. He teamed up with the Duma male lion at the beginning of 2017, but passed on from old age shortly after. Image by Chad Cocking at Motswari, 2016.

He looks very similar to one of the Giraffe males who is still seen around Tintswalo Safari Lodge. They both have that wide bone structure across the eyes. Image by Christof Schoeman, August 2017.

The youngest Giraffe male is the Blackdam Giraffe male seen here sniffing around Royal Malewane.
