Lion King. The Nkuhuma pride was first seen by Djuma in 2006 in the shade of a Brown Ivory tree, which in the local Shangaan language is Nkuhuma. The name was chosen by the Rangers and Trackers.

" Styx Pride.
The Styx Pride and Nkuhuma male lion were seen resting in the early morning sun. " 
News from Singita: the three newcomers seen in northern Singita were seen mating with one of the Othawa females. It seems that those young males are here to stay. They might be a reason why Styx pride is so often now days seen in southern Sabi Sands. Guides also had brief debate on to who is currently the largest lion in Sabi Sands and one of them said that he defnitelly would say Birminghams are which is supprising for me I must say as I believed Matimba male to still be the largest lion in Sabi Sands. Also I thought Othawa male to be larger than both Birminghams, but that doesn't seem to be the case either.

Interesting news from Singita. on of the last Savannas Stay@home Safari videos Hairy Belly want to mate with Othawa female and roaring- link-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YRa_L_TiPA. on Bboys i asked Mala mala rangers and they answer me they are bigger than both Avocas(N/S).I am not shure about Dark Maned Avoca(he was not seen in Mala mala). 
Its hard to judge by pictures, rangers seeing the lions in person will know best. Hb has is still very large but will have lost muscle mass with being old
