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.

I would say he looks a lot like Nsuku.

Slightly deviating off topic here but who do we think the likely fathers of the older Birmingham sons were? (I know there is no way to establish this and is mostly speculation but you can often tell due to similarities in appearance) I would go with the below;

Nkuhuma Male - Mfumo
Torchwood Male - Nhenha
Styx Male - Nhenha

Torchwood is the spitting image of Nhenha, for sure! Incredibly gorgeous boy!

I wonder who the father of Othawa Male was, another picture perfect male lion, in every way.

Hi yes I have seen some pictures recently of the Torchwood male lion. I do think he does look like Nehena. I had a question does the Styxt male lion rest in peace look like Nehena? Most of the Birmingham’s sons are Nehenas? Was Nehena when the 4 Birmingham were with the lionesses was he more when around Mfumo was Nehena recorded more or Mfumo recorded have an advantage ?

Yes, Styx Male died a few years back, when he was a coalition partner with the current Nkuhuma Male that is presently partnered with Skorro Jr. As for who his father was, and which B-Boys were mating with the Styx lionesses. I can't answer that question.

The Othowa male lion? The father was most likely the Scar nose male lion. When he was younger I have read comments of how when he was younger he looked like the hip scar male lion.

Othawa Male was in my opinion the best looking male lion we’ve had in Sabi Sands during the past 20 years. Of course this is subjective and I know some other people might disagree. Again, I find it difficult to determine his potential father though. His overall build, mane and face shape suggest Scar Nose but his green eyes were the same as Hip Scar. Either way, sometimes it’s nice to think back on some of the lions we’ve followed during these years and a few comparisons never hurt!

I have read both possibilities tossed around, just wondering what the consensus might be. OM's loss was a big blow for many, that much is certain.

As for K4 alias, it seems people dont like "Loose tail/Broken Tail",  "BigBoy" suggestion to me doesnt fit him either, he is not bigger then his brothers, just more muscular.

What do you think we invent something about his eyes, his eyes always look half closed, maybe "Slit Eyes" , which means having narrow eyes ??

"Slit Eyes" sounds like really cool name, and quite unique for lion (in fact i think nobody had that name).
