Yes it is, footage was taken on s114, which is old Jocks territory, so that footage of 2 Jocks males is prob from around 2015. Reply

Still no info who this young male is and if he is alone how in the world did he managed to push out from the area and pride such a beast which is Snip Tailed Mpondo, he must have brothers.. 

1 of 3 young Byamitis is similar, but i dont have better/recent photo of him then this:

I checked, and he is neither of 2 other young males who hang in that area, i called them Mathekenyane males.

I guess we need to wait and see if he is indeed one of Byamitis, fortunately silver eyed Byamiti male is easy to recognize if he will be spotted with him or in that area. Reply

Toni said that he saw two lioness with Casper and two bros. He sent me these two pics of the one brother and one lioness. He said the two brothers were giving Casper a lot of space to mate but casper was exhausted. Hopefully maybe another lioness with the 4th bro Reply

He has that little scar on his left ear, i posted the first male from this picture, didnt had any good photos of that other male.

Byamitis are only around 4, these guys are wasting no time..

Here are few photos of them from March 2020 still with a pride (or breakeaway pride), later that year they become nomadic :

They are prob born in mid to late 2017, photo of Biyamiti pride cubs in January 2018:

One of two old Lions on the H1-2 near Tshokwane this morning.  It's very concerning, this male is really struggling, has a damaged front leg, and lots of sores and wounds on his spine.
