Agree, Fabio face expression was priceless when the young male started roaring, he was like "wtf is this guy doing, we just kick his ass". He and his brother attempted to still a kill from Red Road male in late 2018, when they only have like 2 yrs and then get beaten by RRM, this guy is fearless or crazy, as Ngala rangers often say about him.. 
Umlani update
The lions have been extremely active in the central Timbavati lately with the River pride denning with cubs on our traversing area, this has meant not only do we get to often see the small cubs but their fathers the Nharu males have been ever present too. Most nights we hear the males roaring into the night securing a safe territory for their offspring and females. One evening though we did find the two Mbiri males well within Nharu territory, however at the sound of the 3 males roars the Mbiri males moved back south in the opposite direction and we have not seen them again.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Mbiris clearly does not want to take open confrontation 2 vs 3, but 2 vs 1 is different story.(05-08-2020, 02:11 AM)Potato Wrote: Umlani update
Tanda Tula update
The cubs are growing in confidence and gave us some super special sightings this week – as always, their energy levels ensure that any time spent with them is entertaining. We found them one afternoon when the moms had gone out to hunt, and their confidence and curiosity brought them all creeping out the bush to see who we were! Naturally though, because the mothers weren’t there, we left them in peace without any distractions. It was this same curiosity that helped me locate them later in the week when I found signs of them with a kill right in Tanda Tula Safari Camp!They had killed an antelope adjacent to the camp, but the mothers had dragged the kill into the thickets just inside our camp’s perimeter. It would have been impossible to see them if it wasn’t for the curious cubs once more popping out to see what I was getting up to A trip to the far west didn’t produce any sightings of lions, but we did find fresh signs of a portion of the giraffe pride, and heard that a couple of days earlier, the two Monwana males had been on a giraffe kill.  *This image is copyright of its original author

 *This image is copyright of its original author Some say that they were sired by Ross males yet you can clearly see that those males has a face structure so characteristic to Avoca/Giraffe sons and they look very similar to Red Road male, Blondie and Mohawk Northen Avoca and smaller maned Southern Avoca.
Birmingham young male reunited with the pride after few days:
