He wasn't as lucky as his father C-Boy was with/against his own rival coalition named the 4 'Killers' a decade before...
At least, he didn't suffer a lot, didn't survive and wasn't in agony for days or much more, he has died within hours. And from now, he can roam the "Sky (Namiri) Plains" along with his original brother - who has lost very soon - and also with his very faithful coalition partner in the last years: Tryggve. Who also has fallen by the same cruel coalition, it is assumed.
Here is a very great photo of a much younger but already very beautiful Snyggve with meaningful looking from his heydays (and probably still with his original brother) in his memory:

Agreed, hope the C-Boy male lineage is continue. I think, Snyggve&Tryggve should already have some more elder young adult descendants of their 7-year rule.

Anyway, is there anybody who know the Serengeti lions better? I have a special question:
There was a great documentary on Nat Geo around 2010 with a well-known title as 'Super Pride'. According to them, the pride live(d) its life somewhere in the central parts of Serengeti and they had 2 stronge pride males (according to them, they were at about their 8 years, but I doubt it, they seemed younger to me). Does anybody know who were them?
One of them was a very beautiful specimen with a quite dark mane and with something special 'black hoops' around his both eyes (not injuries). I would really like to know who was he/them. Here is a screenshot of him:

And you can see him/them in a shortened version of this documentary from a form of Nat Geo's Channel immediately at the start and they also can be seen better at 4:00 minutes:
Or in this version of the documentary at about 0:50 seconds:
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me in this...
