Those 'new males' are the Mazithi/Tshokwane brothers. The big litter of cubs is mothered by the Mantimahle daughter according to some, and it was initially believed the Nkuhlus sired the 4 cubs, since they did mate with some of the females. Not sure if the channel has info on it or just assumptions, especially since i saw similar footage of the Mazithi males on IG (IIRC the same on the video) and there was no info what so ever.
Not being territorial over the Plains Camp females would make sense and explain why the Nkuhlus have lately spent much less time in Kruger than compared to early 2024, when they used to mate with the PC linesses. Reply

Shephanie said that there are survivors from the 2022 litter is this true? Reply

1/5 Kumana males at Satara 
Seems like he has a puncture wound on his back, perhaps a encounter with rival males.

Hey guys was catching up on what I missed here and saw some stuff you guys asked, idk if you got the answers but il answer them just in case.

1. The 7 Satara/Sonop males come from Northern pride in singita lebombo. Brian rode the rangers had photos to prove it.

2.Mathekenyane males rule what's left of Hippo pools pride the guides say.

3. The 4 Skukuza males are the same 4 Skukuza boys we used to post ages ago.

4. Young mazithis are seen in mazithi pride Territory but no confirmation yet they have taken over the pride. 

5. N'wanetsi male comes from N'wanetsi pride fathered by the 4 N'wanetsi males who ruled before old swenis.

6. One eye Chava is official. He comes from Chava pride in lebombo which is ruled now by 7 Satara/sonop.

7. Those young N'wanetsi son of old Swenis have been seen here and there but think only 2 alive now. Reply

These are 3 other Vurhami males seen recently on S28. This includes the Vurhami who was injured in the scrotum some months ago. He's the one in pic 2 with the tree branch going over the top part of his head. I also included pic of his healed scrotum. So this makes 6 young Vurhami males seen recently though they are currently split into 3 groups.
