Fabio and Birmingham young male :  *This image is copyright of its original author Also, guide said a history between Birmingham and Birmingham breakeaway pride.. They split 4 years ago as they where too big, 28 members, so few lionesses left with few cubs, sired by Avoca/Giraffes.. He said that Ross males dominated both prides for around 3 yrs now, and sired cubs in both prides.. So the younger subadults of the Birmingham breakaway are sired by Ross males..

Tanda Tula update
The week started off on a good foot. After the first drive, we had ticked off sightings of buffalo bulls, elephants, rhinos and six members of the Giraffe Pride of lions. Having travelled to the western parts of the concession for fear that the River Pride could go walk about again, we needn’t have worried, as Ginger found them whilst we were with the Giraffe Pride. Then, the next morning, we helped track the pride and found all of them together in the east; two pairs of lions were busy mating and the others were resting off their fat-bellies. That evening, they serenaded us with their roars, and the pride remained in the area for much of the rest of the week as the honeymooners continued their business, which provided some great viewing. Later in the week, the trackers found the Giraffe Pride again, in our western sector this time.  *This image is copyright of its original author

But, indeed I thought he looked a lot lighter. That lighter colored lion, who I'm not sure I've seen before, is absolutely huge for sure.

This male looks lighter colored to me, perhaps it is the lighting and the angle of the shot. It is definitely not one of the Ross Males, who appear to be quite close by during this interaction. The young male's leg doesn't seem to be bothering him at all, and he is absolutely massive on top of her, he is really beginning to fill in really well. Either way, this could mean a whole lot of trouble for him, especially if Tyson sees him. Interaction happens at around 7:14On the top left corner you have writen Massai Mara. Understood, I posted it here, because it has the Ross Males and the Brimingham Pride. But, I see what you are referring to, and for some reason, at that time of night here, I missed that part. Thank you @Potato

The Xikukutsu males are turning out to be a formidable and handsome coalition! Under the leadership of the Mapoza male, these boys could be the main contenders in the Timbavati area.

Tyson Ross male seen yesterday afternoon on WE:
 *This image is copyright of its original author He had quite a big cut on his face, maybe clash with Birmingham young male over night, as young male was seen in Manyeleti that morning, but without any marks of fighting.. He rejoined his brother and pride thus morning :  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Fabio Ross male:  *This image is copyright of its original author Birmingham young male still didnt return to the pride, he prob wants to avoid Tyson, or maybe he indeed started his nomadic journey..

If he has left for good, at least he is moving on that back leg better than he has in months. I still wish he'd have taken some help with him. |
