One of the two  Kanniedood males in all his glory at the S56!
They controlled a very big area who is the South part of the Shingwedzi area 
One of the two kanniedood males wears a radio collar for scientific studies. Quite interesting to follow up the Northern area of Kruger!

@Tr1x24 Casper is 6. He was born July 2014 . I have confirmed with Brian rode at Singita before and all the Singita blogs even state it. And the white sister was born feb 2015 and died later that year. Just some errors in that article will contact bigonwild Reply

One of the older N'waswitshaka males (Older brother of the 4 N'waswitshaka males in Sabi Sands) 
The story that the face of this male lion tells you with all his scars is one of a hard life in the African Bush. Only the strong will survive.

I don't know if it is because he is a really aggressive male, or because he gets attacked for looking different (yes, this can be a real thing in the animal world sometimes, the same way animals will attack another for acting strangely), but Casper is a very scarred up lion. Perhaps the stress of constant conflict is the cause of his poorly conditioned mane. Reply
