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.

Despite of being an ageing male, he is looking well fed and healthy.

If all things goes well for Casper and the other Shish young males, we will see cubs born in early 2022. It was just  matter of time for these males will took-over a pride in their own. Unfortunately, the chances that Casper will sired a white cub it's just a 25% since "as far I know" he is the only who carries the white gene. We also need white gene from the mother side to get more chances of that.

The N'wanetsi males. As far I remember, the N'wanetsi coalition originated as four males. This one and his brother spent a lot of time together, before they lost their prides by the three Sweni males and the last N'wanetsi male partnered up with a male.

Thus, Since he was seen with that nasty injury, he wasn't seen again. Does anyone know what happened to him?

To be honest, I thought about him a few days' ago, wondering how he is doing after his serious injuries last 6 weeks' ago. There is no news on him since, unfortunately. Let's hope he has made a good recovery by now somewhere, though. 
The last time I've heard something about Mopani males is at the beginning of September, only one of the males was pictured (below).

Any recent pictures of the last N'wanetsi's partner and his younger partner? I remember seeing few of their pictures around Satara in 2021 but cant find it anymore.

Idk if they are still there because of Young Shish males moving there recently.

That Casper was born in it self is showing that white gene is strong in the arena and it seems very unlikely that Casper is the only one around who carry white gene, althrough it is obviously impossible to point out who exatly carry it. We know tho that white gene is present in both old Shish coalition as well as Shish pride so there are good chances that Casper's brothers also carry white gene. We also know that Rockfig male possibly carry that gene and so possible his daughters in Nsemani pride as well. Probably there are also more white gene keepers around as it seems hard to believe that for some reason old Shish males and Shish pride lionesses would be that only lions in the arena to carry that gene.

Yes, I meant regarding about white gene from paternal side. All of the Shish young males must carry the white gen since they were born on a pride where the white gene is strong and alive. I was referring to the maternal, As we don’t know if the lioness was born into a pride where the white gene is present. But, since you mentioned the Nsemani pride. There could be a chance that the white gene is alive there.
