There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

As we can see RN son is still noticeably bigger than Chelas boy. It’s kinda both a blessing and shame they’ve become successful already, they won’t expand the coalition while they have their own pride which isn’t great given the competition around them, but it’s obviously much better than nothing, and we have seen quite a few strong duos go a crazy long way in furthering their bloodline.
No wonder his younger hal-brother is so big, he might have predisposition for it from both parents.
The third Nkuhuma brother dissappered for good? What is his status, lost in Kruger (possibly no longer around)?

Very likely dead, he disappeared just after all 3 of them were being seen with the old Mantimahle lioness. Always a chance he willingly left being by far the least dominant member, but I very much doubt it.
Video of the above photo interaction, @kimberlyreittinger on ig is claiming they could be with some fourways females, one seen in the video, I think it’s more likely these are also Mantimahle breakaway tho.

Do these guys have a coalition or individual names? I love how both have their own unique look! Very happy they Made a territory for themselves and have lionesses and cubs.

They dont have individual names. Their coalition name is Nkuhuma due to their natal pride.
People tend to refer to them using their mothers (Chela and Ridge Nose) but atp they are pratically pride males with cubs of their own, way more than X lioness son, even thought so far it has been enough to refer to them easily.
And yes you are absolutely correct, both of them are unique looking specimens, very distinct from each other too. The names dark mane and blonde etc could be appropriate but those r very saturated... Thats cause its common & easy way of ID tbh.
