Looks like spliting males are here, i recognized male who was in Sabi Sands, he lost quite a bit of mane past few months, so maybe they mistaken him for youngest one, as he also had small mane. Reply

Young Monwana turned into big boy.

He is indeed, got great genes from his enormous father. It seems his limp may be gone, given the few steps we were able to see him take. Reply

Did he have a limp?

Or are you mistaken him for Limping Monwana? This guy is his younger half brother, sired by Trilogy male. Reply

Don’t worry….I actually get all these names and males confused and mixed all the time hehehe.   These four have been especially crazy in my mind.  

U have Monwana w Guernsey, then you have Monwana w Girrafe. Hehehe.   I need to write it out like that to get it!    Lol Reply

Fortunately, over the last week, if we heard lions roaring, we knew they weren’t far. I think we can thank Chad for this because it seems every time he goes on leave or isn’t driving, they come out and allow us to view them. They have provided us with some very entertaining sightings over the last few days as the pride has brought their new cubs along, and it is always fun to see them interact with other more mature lions when they are trying to sleep and rest, ready for the night full of hunting. The giraffe pride also managed to live up to its name and take down a fully grown giraffe bull close to by. This is a great achievement, last time I counted there were 24 lions in the pride, so a large giraffe bull weighing almost 2000 kg is the perfect meal. The ever-present lions are however affecting other animals in and around the area. Leopard sightings have been scarce as we believe the lions must have forced them to their southern boundaries to avoid being found or having a kill stolen from them.

Giraffe pride is a force to be reckoned with now. A lot of lions moving throughout the Timbavati.  Mayambula is a super pride now Reply
