Looks to be the same gruop that was with him when they where chased by Imbali male, 9 lions + DM, of which there are 2 males. So it looks like theres another Talamati gruop with 3rd young male and few females (depends how many are there with Imbali). It looks like the Dark Maned male is split currently,but he was seen on WildEarth with them 9 days ago :  *This image is copyright of its original author Blonded/biggest male is here, aswell as youngest, who had little to no mane recently, and was often mistaken for female in the past, this guy recently :  *This image is copyright of its original author Young males really like DM, great to see, he looks to be a gentle giant, so i wouldn't be too suprised if he hangs with them when they left the pride, especially if adult females chose Imbali male in future.
It looks like theres indeed only 3 out of 5 older cubs remaining in Sand River pride, with subadult female on this photo, photo taken almost month ago :

He looks a really tall impressive lion. Do you think dm will have to challenge him eventually?

Dont know, i think he will not due to his paw injury, otherwise i think he would already respond, as he already lost quite a bit of ground and 3 females by the looks of it. DM raised 1 generation of cubs with Talamatis, so in a way his job is finish here in that regard if he doesnt want to fight for another shot. Question is what he will do next if he forfeit's Djuma and Talamatis, yes, he can hang out with Talamati youngsters around Arathusa and Chitwa for some time, but whats next? Will he maybe follow his 3 sons in nomadic journey, or maybe try to join his 2 brothers and Nkuhumas? Its hard to predict. Imbali male pushing him south might be good thing, as he is getting closer to his brothers, but yea, would they accept him is a real question.
