Yea, based of whiskers, thats the male who we taught was in Sabi Sands...

Looks like that male in Sabi Sands is not 1 of those 2 seen Manyeleti and now in Timbavati afterall.. 

He might not even be from Black Dam pride..

Confusing situation..
Of course he is the same male! Definitely it's one of the Black dam young males. Whiskers pattern, scars and the small two cuts of his left ear are exactly 100% the same ones.

Not for sensitive viewers.

The Torchwood Male and the Birmingham Young Male just took down this Buffalo bull in front of Shindzela Tented Camp.

BYM is so funny, he is like "ok bro, im helping".

Great that they are doing well, Shindzela area is in a way empty area, as somebody said theres a chance for them to maybe take Avoca pride there..

Mbiri males came onto Ngala and stole a Buffalo kill from the Birmingham Pride. They also killed a cub in the process 

"Mbiri males are back on Ngala and seems to have stolen a Buffalo carcass from the Birmingham pride some time early this morning. Sadly in this process they killed one of the cubs. Nature can be very tough at times but it is what it is - these are wild animals."

Not sure, i'll ask.

I asked if the Ross Males were also chased away and Roan said he believed so.

They didnt see Ross males there, as far as I understand, they came to the sighting when Mbiris already took the kill..

It is always just a matter of time when those powerhouses set their next target for expansion. So far it seemed they will target Mbiri pride, but who knows, perhaps they will switch to Ngala and Birmingham pride.
