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.

5 or 6, 4 older and 2 younger, its unknown if 1 of 4 older, who went missing, is now 1 of 2 younger, as 1/2 younger is a bit older, so it might be 5 males in total and not 6.
Basically, older ones went nomadic towards late 2020, they somehow split, and "cheek doted" male joined S28 males in 2021, his 3 older brothers where presumed missing at this point, and 2 younger ones where still with HP pride (as i said, 1 might have been moving between 2 groups).
Then smudge nosed and light maned appeared in Mjejane reserve and ousted Mo in 2022.
2 younger who stayed with natal pride, are now nomads for quite some time already, although not sure about their status, recently only older of the 2 was seen near Gomondwanes territory.
Younger male might be the male who got a beating by Gomondwanes month or so a go (it was posted here), not sure if he survived.
Yeah basically what Tr1x24 said 4 older ones, 2 rule mjejane and 1 is 1/4 Makhohlola males now. Then they have 2 slightly younger bros who are nomadic. And they have 3 sub younger brothers though only one seen lately alive for sure. There was younger cub/subs but they maybe killed lately.
Great take on male lions coalitions, and why usually bigger coalitions (4+ males) who control big territory, are not so successful in raising their offspring to adulthood as smaller coalitions like 2-3 males :
