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.

who father them or any theory who did ?

I think Mpondo Males.

That would make total sense, his side profile is a dead ringer for them. How old is this male, any idea? With that main, and unable to really see his nose, he looks to be 4-5, but the bulk he is carrying makes him appear older.
Yes, I agree about his side profile, which is why I think he was sired by the Mpondo Males. I think he still have a pink colour at the bottom of his nose as his nose doesn't look total black. I can see he still have spots on his legs, which indicates he is around 3-4 years old, I assume.

You were right. He is around 4-5 years old, born in 2016, according to Tr1x24

Can't always go by the mane, with stress often causing mane deterioration, among other factors. It was a lucky guess. Regardless, he clearly inherited those tank like genes from his fathers.

Lubyelubye Male. He is approximately 12-13 years old and still in such great condition while holding a territory with his son. They currently control the H5 pride and have at least 12 young cubs, hopefully most of these cubs will survive with the protection of the 2 males.

A very promising coalition, being sons of the old Jock males make them really very special for the lion enthusiast, At least, for me.
