This is Smudge. His left lip has a mark, he was relaxing in the sun and squinting in the glare. Real handsome fella.

Isn't "Smudge" Mazithi the ruler of the LubyeLubye Pride? The Mazithi/Tshokwane Males are with Nkuhlu pride. 

Unless one of the 3 Tshokwane males have a smudge too that im not sure of. Reply

Guessing the lack of other lions up there is allowing them to successfully raise more cubs to adulthood? Reply

@"Mistry109" Yeah your right, photography probably just meant a Male by Nkhulu Reply

@Tonpa Yeah probably helps, but the males in the past were never so lucky. I think it’s more the fact the 3 Boyela males in the past secured a big territory, and now they are Old, they left big parts clear and safer for their sons Reply

LION SNARED ALERT!!
One of the three Mopani/Shimuwini males was seen recently with a nasty injury that he got from a snared!! Sadly, He's being very skittish now, hopefully his injuries will health well and soon.

@"Mistry109" Yes, it's Smudge the ruler of LybeLybe Pride. I've removed "one of the Nkhulu males" to avoid confusion.  Reply

Indeed. This is one of the two Mazithi males, the dominant males of the Lubyelubye pride. This is most likely an old sighting from a few years ago. Reply

Leo Vantage Safari saw both Ngotso males lately, and seems they have 5 sub sons. Reply

Am so grateful that he has survived such a disgusting snare. I saw a picture of him and his brothers two weeks ago and they looked well. Now this, hopefully he's not too traumatised by his experience with disgusting snare.

Im guessing the fathers of these males. I could be totally wrong, so feel free to correct me

Satara males origins unknown
Mayambulas males are sons of Mbiris, thus grandson of Matimba
Birmingham breakaways are sons of the males that were in dominant before the ross males (forgot the name)
Kambulas are sons of BBoys
BDM males are sons of the Giraffe males
Boyela males are sons of the 3 old Boyelas

Correct me if im wrong Reply
