It is lion from the past, not a current Nkuchuma male.

But, you could say HB has been with this Nkuhuma male too.... @Hairy tummy Matimbas killed his brother and later chased this male from northern Sabi Sands too (from the Styx pride I believe). Just shows you how long hairy belly has been around. Reply

The Nkuhuma male
September 2014
The Nkuhuma pride managed to pull down a young male buffalo on Cheetah Plains on Sunday evening. Surprisingly, although the pride is now 10 individuals (3 Lionesses, 2 sub adults and then cubs), they were chased off by one of the Styx young males! Then, the Nkuhuma male was found on the carcass, obviously having chased the Styx young male off. Very interesting dynamics happening lately!

A throwback to Djuma in February 2007 with one of the two Nkuhuma male lions.
They were once one of the biggest lions that ever walk through Sabi Sands, As per some experts, the Nkuhuma males were extremely big males
