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 :

Birmingham young male still didnt return to the pride, he prob wants to avoid Tyson, or maybe he indeed started his nomadic journey..
The young Birmingham male is gaining confidence by himself. Which is good at this stage because we don't know for how much longer time the Ross males will tolerating him on his natal pride. Some of the females will be on estrus sooner or later. During those times of mating season. They will be very, Very intolerant towards him.
Some good screenshot of the Birmingham pride of lions on the move with WildEarth.TV on Ngala Private Game Reserve.
A few very good screenshots of the Birmingham white young male reinforcing their social bonds with one his brother/cousin and then a lioness arrives with them.

The always good looking Ross males Fabio. (The less dominant/the tolerant one).
As per Ngala rangers. This Ross males is the less dominant of the two brothers.

Do you think that Tyson and the Young Birmingham male have clashed over night?
In my opinion. Look like and most likely that both brothers had a disagreement. Both of the Ross males were seen a few days ago with scratching on his face.
either Mating rights or dominance by whoever eat first. That's could be correct too as the lions competes for everything
The young Birmingham male look like as if has went into Manyeleti to investigate. Perhaps he has been following the vultures that were flying nearby of the Buffalo carcass and then there were the Nharu/Mbiri males feeding off the carcass

White male already showing signs that he will be more dominant, althrough this brother looks to be bigger then him atm.. But size doesnt matter that much, Fabio is bigger then Tyson too, but he is waay more less dominant..

The White male really has a intense stare as Tyson of the Ross boys.
Fabio was the dominant Ross males in the early years of their kingdom. Later seems that Tyson has became the undisputed boss on the duo

That's what I'm saying.
The young Birmingham male hasn't any injuries or scratches.
