Hope we get to see how this young fellow develops as well as the young Nkuhuma male and the two Mangheni if they are accepted by the pride Is this young Talamati male the only Selati male offspring left ?  
One of the Londolozi blog articles from the past few days by Peter Thorpe touches on the Mhangeni pride, their cubs and the sub adult males who were kicked out at the end of 2017.

Avocas seem to be going strong in the north. The dark skinned boy has the killer's gaze. Credit: image by Andrew Khosa at Jaci's Sabi House, posted September 21, 2018

Early morning Djuma rangers found part of Nkuhuma pride - adult lioness, 3 subadult lionesses and 1 sub adult male (Nkuhuma young male), they gone to Arathusa. Djuma rangers also found one of the Avocas, and he gone to Little Gowrie. We dont know where rest of the Nkuhuma pride are. We think that Avocas chased them, and Nkuhumas spilted up. Avoca males probably are not happy that a lot of young males hanging around Nkuhumas.. Short glimpse of that big male..  *This image is copyright of its original author

@jordi6927 hmm.. I didnt see any wound or fresh scrathes, so I dont think that he had a fight with another male. He will be fine very soon.. I think
 Today (8 october) we had Mhangeni Boys in Djuma! and they had a warthog kill and very full bellies. They were alone, without Nkuhuma Pride.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
