Lions of Timbavati

Theres was discussion before, that some people think that Xikukutsus are sired by Avoca/Giraffe males, but as they grow older, they more look like Ross males, especially this guy who is spitting image of Tyson Ross male:

Actually Ross and Avoca/Giraffe males were sired by same coalition and they do not look much different so we can not relly too much on their look. As I pointed in other comment before they look similar also to other Avoca/Giraffe sons. Reply

Wow some fresh wounds, any idea who they fight? Nharhus or some males in Kruger?

These guys are only 7 yrs old but already been involved in so many fights, they do not run from a fight thats for sure. Reply

I don't think about the Nharhu males, Because the Mbiri didn't respond the Roar of two of them.

And they left the area the next day. In KNP would be most possibly. Reply

Guide does not mention of possiblity of fight between them and Nharhus so I presume with someone from Kruger or perhaps got wounded while hunting. Reply

It looks like you did not watch video carefully as Mbiris were roaring while patroling. Reply

That too big of a wound from a fight for mating rights.

Thats wound is from another male lions or as @Potato says maybe from a hunt, but i dont think so as it looks like a bite.. Reply

Remember that Shaka is very aggressive when it comes to mating. Who knows.
