Not sure where, or how he's getting his meals, but he doesn't appear hungry at all. Really makes me happy to see.

He's big enough to bully the local leopards/cheetahs/hyenas from their food too

Thinking about it, I don't even remember hyenas on Ngala being shown on Wilde Earth - lions, leopards, cheetahs and even jackals and ofc numerous birds of prey yes, but no hyena sighting afair. (not counting wild dogs, they just travel through, recently Pungwe pack went all the way around far west into Balule, same pack that sometimes crossing northern parts of Sabi Sands that WE covers) Maybe they are less numerous than elsewhere and less of a factor, considering hwo succeful and fairly sedentary Brimingham pride and its offshoots are. Ofc if you can get white lions sighting you pick that over hyenas all the time. Maybe there is a den in the southern hard to access parts of Ngala or none at all. Would be more meat to steal from other predators if there is not strong hyena presence (I would assume hyena getting to the kill quicker than even a normally walking lion and eating a big chunk of it if they can get it from whatever made the kill)

Great observation, and if your summation is correct, then that would certainly make the life of a lone male lion, in that area, an easier prospect.

Beautiful sister of the Birmingham Young Male.
