@Ttimemarti These are the two photos I mentioned earlier.
K4 back in September.  *This image is copyright of its original author Nhena, not sure when taken as posted after his death. Photo belongs to Sabi Sands. " target="_blank" class="post_link"> A couple more photos. K4 in Sabi Sabi, again in September this year.  *This image is copyright of its original author Nhena in the West last year.  *This image is copyright of its original author Not the best comparisons but there you are. Those first two particularly are why I think K4 is Nhena's son.

Those first two particularly are why I think K4 is Nhena's son. K4 for sure. K1, K3 and K6 all look very similar. To be honest I swing back and forth between Nhena and Nsuku for those three. They seem to have shorter face, like Nsuku. I struggle to see any that look really like Tinyo. As people have pointed out before K2 (or maybe K5) looks most like one of the Kambula lionesses. Maybe K5 then. As for Mfumo, I started following the lions of Sabi Sands after he disappeared, so unfortunately I'm not as familiar with him, so can't really make any confident comparisons. As you've stated previously, it will get easier to tell once their manes have fully filled out, as it does change the look somewhat.

K4 does indeed resemble Nhenha in these photos above.
I also can see a bit of these 2 Majingilane in some of these Kambula males:  *This image is copyright of its original author

This morning, in some heavy rain, we located the 4 Kambula males with extremely fat bellies. The sister was not far south from them on her own kill.
