Lions of Sabi Sands

[Gijima]

The oldest one with the dark mane is definitely the Dec 2018 litter. Blondie is very young... he’s barely 2, so younger than his brothers. The other one, I’m not sure? He could be the oldest one’s litter mate or just born around the same time. Reply

It is always wonderful to watch the impressive Othawa Male "Nguvu", which has been seen growing more energetic, mobile and dominant, seen lately wandering in the western part of the Sabi Sands and Londolozi.

Heres the talamatis walking past Laurens car in January, 13 lions total and what looks like only 2 males

Tintswalo video from February also talking only about 2 males..

This is quite a mystery now..

Is this the same male? :

First photo Talamati male from August 2020, and 2nd from February 2021..

Funny enough on that Tintswalo video from August 2020 i also saw only 2 males..

Is there any photo of 3 Talamati young males?

Whiskers appear to be a match. Reply

One of the males is blonde it seems, compared to the other two who have dark early manes. Maybe he's being mistaken for a female at a distance

Same male? :

I think the first male on this picture is different..

Which would mean that in February all 3 where alive, and that male with smallest mane might be mistaken for lioness, idk..

The top one and the bottom one appear to match whiskers to me. Reply

I'm sure that Nkuhuma Pride has 9 cubs, or I am wrong? 

Because, according to the latest report, there are 8 in total..Just need a clarification. Also, this video last month showed 9 cubs:

I think its just a typo, if you count the all the numbers it equals 16 but they have them listed as 17 members. Reply

I think MalaMala isn't aware the 8th Nkuhuma Lioness is gone, they've still got her listed too Reply
