Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Report him guys

Hi Alex,in my personal opinion,I believe that is much better not share any kind of disrespectful behavior towards other lion pages,after all we're lion fans,either Sabi Sands,Timbavati,Kruger or in whole Africa.
probably and I sure that the guys of Lion Sightings are doing an excellent and hard work to post correct information,and when someone is questioning is frustrating for everyone who cares for providing correct information,Besides this site is for people who are interested on follow the lion dynamics and not fight like is happening in FB,You and we need to make of this site, the best! (that in my opinion,This is the best site by far!)...
Anyway,Have a good day and Take Care!

Some guys are claiming that are the Nharu sired by the Thanda Impi males who were sired in Nov 2015 onwards,However, if you want to make more sure of who are them,Wait for the ID on this week or probably the next by Dulini rangers,perhaps they will said the same,but who knows!

The Gowrie/Birmingham male feeding of a  impala kill in Rattray's Camp grounds, also the members of the Kambula pride are viewed in Wild Dog Rocks Open Area.

Tinyo remind me to HB,they have a very similar mane who connect with the elbows and make him to has a spectacular mane,Also If i not mistaken, one of the older Birmingham lionesses should be HB sister and Tinyo mom,so after all the resemblances make sense!

Tinyo looks more like the scarface Skybed Male. That explains better since old Skybed males controlled the Birmingham pride. And then the old Birmingham who was the most impressive Male Lion in the recent history.

Since there is no official report from Rangers or Lodges siting Matimba Males as the sons of Old Skybed Males. So don't believe these random posts by fans.

And Hairy belly has a totally different mane to old skybed males also. Hairy belly has a patch of hair on his belly and a patch of his hair on his both shoulders. So different mane type to old Skybed males.

Different opinions,mostly of the Wildfact members are more than agree that were sired by the old Skybed males and being honest,nobody will changed it, those debates are so old to start it again!

Hairy Belly has different kind of mane to any other lion in KNP. Going throught that logic we would get to conclusion that Hairy Belly has no sons, brothers and fathers as neither Old Skybeds nor any other lion in KNP has mane going through belly. Overall sons are not copy paste their fathers unless they live in small, closed reserve with very poor genetic diversity.
