Nothing, he is still missing and correct me if im wrong but for the same  (or atleast similar) amount of time as the Mangheni male subs... I wonder if / what happened in the west for those 3 to vanish and to the Mangheni pride moving south. Reply

He disappeared a week earlier I believe, the male with the injured leg was spotted with Mhangeni Pride and everyone thought that was the solitary male, but it was really one of the other 3, or atleast that’s what I thought. Reply

As far as i know, last report was that 4 Monwanas where on a kill and got chased of by PCMs where 1 male got separated.

Since then only reports of 3 males together.

Not sure if after that we got sighting of 3 males following Mhangeni pride, or was that before. Reply

The Monwana young males were born around 2020/2021 and are about 4 years old.

Not while Deon seen him, no. Reply

Southern Avoca looked in pretty rough shape the last time they were seen together, hope he’s okay. If they did take some form of a beating, would be more difficult for him to recover given his age and nomadic status. Reply
