That sub adult looks enormous.


This is the subadult that looks almost as big as DM, and he is biggest of 3 Talamti male subadults. He’s gonna be a tank in the future

This is dark maned/orange eyed male, all 3 young males are similar in size, blonded one was considered to be the biggest.

Blonded male is easy to recognize :

The other 2 is little harder since male #3 grown mane, as he was almost mainless before, he now looks very similar to dark maned male also known as male #1, they both have orange eyes and similar whisker patterns.

This is male #1/ dark mane:

This is male #3 after Imbali chase :

If theres no close up, its impossible to distinguish these 2 atm.

Also looks like male #3 doesnt have that much bond as other 2, he is younger then them and he favors company of females/sisters, thats why all 3 together are not often seen.

Blonded male is almost always seen with Dark Mane's Avoca gruop, he is very close to DM.

Not sure why we are not seeing him. We have 3 talamatis with S8 male, hes not obviously not with them. We have the bulk pride with the two males, also not with them. And we have silver eye who is either falling behind now that shes getting old or choosing to stay away, and he's not with her

Even with 3 Talamatis with Imbali (1 recently joined, before only 2 where with him) theres should be 11-12 lions +DM, and there was always 8-9 lions, so few are always missing, they are also split in many smaller gruops of 4-5 occasionaly and as i said, he is hard to distinguish from dark maned male at this point from the distance.

We didn't see this event, this is different one (not Mohawk with Kambula subadults).

This is Blondie with Kambula subadults, and then looks like Nhenha and Tinyo chased him from that kill and take it for themselves. 

This happened in "Avocas" territory, north of Main Camp.

Blondie needs to be very careful in these situations, with his limping, he could get easily ambushed and caught, as 2 Bboys where prob still close by when he returned to the carcass.
