There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

This could be used for ID's in future, as looks like they will be roaming around.

Not sure where other 2 are, biggest one is known to be "loner".

Everyone, I have added an exception to the single post by an individual rule, thereby permitting a duplicate post to be made, when the images being shared are suitable for the IDs thread. With so many recent ID related images being shared, I am hoping we can get some traction in that thread, as it can serve as an invaluable tool.

@Tr1x24, if you would like, you can make a duplicate of this post, in the IDs thread.

Yea looks like Monwanas.

Not sure who claimed that these are Skorro young males, as far as i know, theres no photos of those young males (unless im wrong?), so how can anyone know? (Unless some guide knows them, which i doubt as they are in Kruger).

It came from a Facebook post, I screenshoted it in the Kruger Lion Thread post #11,686.

So are the lions with Fabio the other day and in Djuma right now is the Monwana Boys or are they two different set of individuals?

Idk, but looks like 1-2 are from 2022 litter, others are from early 2021.

1 sub male got killed by BDMs, but he was clearly smaller and younger that others.

1 apperantly still hangs with the pride.

Looks like this 4 hang together.

@Potato is the biggest male, who dominated Birmingham Nephew, in this group of 4 or no?

Yeah, as @Mapokser stated, they appear, to my eyes, to be the same males. They likely fled to SS after the fright they got from that enormous Skybed Son, he was after them for quite an extended time.

Interesting. Is this Kruger male lions same to the Kruger male lion with Southern Avoca? Or is he related to Kruger male lion with Southern Avoca? 

Is Kruger male lion with Southern Avoca relative to lions were fathers of Tsalala, Othowa lionesess? Six male lions?

Look who decided to show himself, it’s almost like he heard me talking about his whereabouts the other day. Deon said one of the Ndzengas had an altercation with him, leaving the BDM to have a swollen face. Hid face must’ve recovered since then unless the swelling is all on the left side.

Well... here's the other side of his face.  I mean.  This doesn't look like a boy that was in any altercation whatsoever.

I think they just mistook him to have a swollen face the SBDM has that unique head/face LOL.

Also SBDM is said to have been near the Kruger and Southern Avoca by Deon on the day the Kruger Male and Southern Avoca have just gotten back in the North and mated with Little Amber as Deon saw another male lion in that area.

SBDM reminds me of DM Avoca. His face/build, temprament, and his limp/health issues are all dead ringers of DM.
