So are you thinking it's this guy and not the Talamati's? Reply

To be honest I only follow what the video says because I'm not good at recognizing lions except for very few of them.
However, his mane looks a bit too bushy to be any of the Talamatis. Reply

So if it is the Talamatis, both of them should be together. Hopefully it gets confirmed soon cos I’ve missed these two boys especially with Mohawk/sons also going into KNP recently. 

Not the best quality.

Looks like the Skorro male to me. Reply

I can't confirm this but my friend is saying that he got word that it was the 2 BDM and the Kambulas didn't allow them to feed on the carcass and K4 was the one roaring. Reply

Not even 2yo yet and look at how the NK Breakaway male dwarfs his mother and sister in this short by Leopard Hills:


 

Edit: and his sister is around the size of her mother, she might be bigger than the Othawas who are almost 1 year older. Reply

It’s a reason why but it is very impressive Reply

Description says 6M and 1F, so looks like all Kambulas and both BDMs where present. Reply

Well then.  I guess this should get interesting.  The BDM's can't push them off a kill, but the Kambula's didn't send them packing either. Reply

Depends who made the kill tbf, if it was the Kambulas and they couldn’t back the BDMs off, then it’s very revealing that they’re not yet ready. Even if it wasn’t, this would have been a great opportunity to significantly injure their main rivals in the North. 

I do think this altercation is great for the Kambula female however, BDMs now being aware of her presence is a good thing as she can’t stay with her brothers forever. BDMs seemingly showing off their strength in such instances could help convince her they are suitable partners. Reply

Just come across this post too, seems PCMs finally caught up with her.

Looks like Kambulas are definetly in charge of a kill, and BDMs are trying to behave submissive and sneak some food.

K4 is roaring, but looks like they are still unsure what to do with 2 BDMs.

Or they just want to eat, sometimes coalitions prioritize that over territorial stuff (as we saw recently with Herculess and 2 Ross males).

Wonder how this situation played out, did Kambulas eventually chased them off? Reply

Mating with here is better than killing her....  This could be a good thing.  Of all the coalitions in SS right now that's the one that seems like it could last a couple of years. Reply
