The Othawa male on the move.

One of the Talamati sub-adults males,These Talamati young males are starting to developing a pretty nice Dark maned. Also are becoming more bigger and stronger every day.
Note: One of the Talamati females was been injured on his back leg Looks like a buffalo or antelope did that(I'll post a image soon as i can) Djuma-Sabi Sands-Posted on November 22/2020. Photo credit to: Zaheer Ali  *This image is copyright of its original author

Wrote: I've got a question for everybody. Recently the Birmingham Young Male lion was names Osindile which means 'survivor' in Zulu. A worthy name for the young male who had to survive the Ross Males and his leg injury that nearly killed him. Down south, in Sabi Sands, the Nkuhuma Young Male also had to face his own hardships and had to survive. He was also forced to face dominant male lions and on occasion, had to fight them to survive. He lost his mother and partner and had to look after himself for almost a year. The stress led to him losing condition and his mane until he found the Styx Pride. He is also a true Survivor of the bush. Both Males have similar stories and are similar in age but in your opinion, who had a much harsher life they had to survive through?

The lions you mentioned above were seen by vets numerous times and monitored till they recovered.

However,I believe that Nathan cannot seen your answer as he was been banned from WildFact today after of some behavior that isn't tolerated in this site 
"Do you know if Hairy Belly is a Southern Cape Lion.They were very big lions and their is not many on record anymore. "
Hairy Belly oryginates from Birmingham pride in Timbavati Game Reserve. He is lion from Greater Kruger Park. "I am not taking anything away from him but just because the lions in the Mara receive treatment does not mean they don’t have it bad they still have to fight and hunt." SStill they have huge advantage over Kruger lions. "However,I believe that Nathan cannot seen your answer as he was been banned from WildFact today after of some behavior that isn't tolerated in this site" What did he acctually did? Were some of his comments deleted and I can not see his insaults or somethink. Wasn't he just banned for thinking that HB is 15 years old was he?

We have pictures of him from 2007-2011 and videos too after that clearly seeing his development. Okay, I never contested his claim on HB's birth outright. Until I personally see evidence and/or speak to rangers who worked the year of his supposed birth, I cannot vouch for any date. I'm just going by the general consensus, video clips of him, and what I think his age ought to be based a bit on his appearance. Having stated this, I am keeping an open mind. It's could be that his birthdate of 5/2005 was confused with another lion in his pride or coalition? I never saw 'verified' photos or those with automatic dates showing month and year. Maybe these were posted after I joined or I accidently overlooked them?? Anyway, even if those are verified legit for the year and month taken, there is still the issue of his appearance. I have seen several photos of him when he was young claiming such photos were taken on this or that year, and the age that he was supposed to have been just didn't add up to his overall look to my eyes. He either looked older or younger than he was supposed to have been. I cannot recall exact ones as I did not save them. Anyway, the difference between 5/2005 or 1/2006, won't show a huge difference. The photos of when he was a few months old might give a better insight on a more exact date. It's a shame there was no recording of birthdates of cubs for well-known prides back then. Not sure if there is even that these days in the KNP and surrounding reserves. Olbernoti's birthdate seems pretty uncontested and more reliable based on official recording at the park, I believe. He is looking to be able to survive to at least 16, too.

Basing me on his facial featured, look like one of the Talamati females who were sired by the Selati males Another Talamati lioness had similar injury half a year ago, but she healed by now.. It looks like just skin cut off, nasty injury but not life threatning..
