3 Old Sand River males are also candidates who might sired Kruger males, they where dominant over Marula Loop for years, clashing few times with their neighbours Robson males, who where northeast of them.

Around 2010/11 they expanded further south, and Toulon Males established at Marula Loop, in between them and Robsons.

There they sired Renosterkoppies males (known as nomadic Renosterkoppies), but possibly more offspring.

Check my post about them: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-lion-ta...#pid128103

Biggest male do look kinda similar to remaining Kruger male.

Problem with Robson male is timeline, remaining male lost his territory in 2013 (around the time when Kruger males where born), and went nomadic with his 2 sons.

Also area, s30 is kinda south of Robsons territory in 2013, more towards Nkhulu area.

I mean its possible that remaining Robson mated with some female and these cubs survived, but we will never know for sure.

Thank you for the info. To be fair, S30 pride and subadult Kruger male were seen on S30 near H12 bridge (where I marked it in the image).

In 2013, were Robson males territorial between Rhino Post and Mantimahle Dam (orange marker)? If that is the case, then by 2013, S30 pride was southeast Robson's territory, east of Toulon males territory and quite far from Sand River males (Renosterkoppies). Reply
