Torchwood male looks the most "mature" of the 3, but it doesn't mean that he is the biggest..

I actually wasn't using the females @Tr1x24. I was just looking at the physicality of the Torchwood Young Male and he is pretty big looking. He looks big in that video. Sometimes you can just tell by looking that the lion is pretty big. He looks built, with a thick and long neck in that video.

Exactly. Even sometimes is much better look how big is his head/paws to have a great idea how big is the male lion.

Yes and depending on his diet and growth from here on out, he can build more muscle and even his frame can build. Bones can strengthen and enlargen. He is still young, he is not in his prime yet. He can still grow into a beast.

I couldn't be more agree!
The Torchwood young male now has began the hardest stage of the lions. the nomadic life is a very hard for the male lions. Especially if is just one. that means that he need be careful successful on the hunts and take extremely care on his movements.
Now this depends on how intelligent he is and if he is the enough strong to survive this stage

Although the monolithic ‘island mountain’ of Stwise stands behind this young male from the Torchwood pride, larger metaphorical mountains lay ahead...

Life as a nomadic young lion is tough enough when you’ve got company. If you’re alone like he is, well... then you’d better find company! The road ahead is not for the faint-hearted.

Torchwood Young Male and one of his sisters or aunts at Djuma yesterday. Someone asked Nigel Ridge how large the Torchwood Young Male was in comparison to other lions and he said he was Big. He didnt compare specifically but we will have to see. In terms of looks however, this boy is quite the looker.

Is the Torchwood male actually nomadic? Who outsted him? I thought the Torchwood breakaway pride had no dominant males?

Were the Birmingham Boys related to the Matimbas? I read that both came from a natal pride called the Birmingham pride.

I think he is slowly breaking away but not completely. He meets up with his sisters who themselves are a breakaway when he can but not sticking around for that long. He hasn't gone back into Kruger for a while now.

There is not enough updates on Torchwood pride to say definitely what is going on but:

1. Torchwood famles are mating with dominant over Fourways pride males.
2. Portion of Torchwood pride (3 young famales and a male) never seem to breakaway for good, but was coming back to the core pride.

I do not think Torchwood male is really nomadic. I think he is just moving away from the pride while pride is with their new dominant males and when dominant males will move away, Torchwood male will reunite with his pride.
