This is exactly how I recall it as well. I've always assumed that the remaining two RP males got their revenge. Reply

Got it. So, to see if understood correctly. There were rumors about seeing the 3 of them together after getting involve in a second fight against the RP males but there was no photo or video of the one that disappeared, right?? Reply

I assume those are 4 young RP males, who recently killed Skorokoro.

Not great, they are 2vs4.

Let me try to understand this.

Are these the four young river pride males that came from the same river pride that the white lion and his two tawny brothers killed 1/3 of their river pride fathers?

Im getting a little confused here with all the river pride males, young river pride males. Reply

The 5 young river pride males that attacked the white male are not sons of the 3 older river pride males, but they came from the same pride as far as I know which is why they have the same names. Reply

If I recall, nobody really knows.  He just wasn't there one day and everybody hoped he'd return and never did.

Today's view

White Birmingham is a hella handsome and impressive male, he looks absolutely stunning.

It'll be a shame if he and his brothers fail at raising lots of cubs. Reply

Shaka in impressive form, especially considering he's 11 and has almost died from attacks countless times.

You could mistake him for his prime version in this video, what a lion.

As lions age and deteriorate, their strength and ability to hold the territory goes down, but if he and his brother can keep this condition in the near future whatever other males enter their territory, it'll be tough to oust them.

I can't even believe they entered old age late last year, with Shaka badly injured, both constantly in horrible shape throughout several months, with Avoca & Guernsey attacking their pride, things didn't look good, but they bounced back, recovering their condition, dispatching the enemy pressuring them and are now almost always in top condition for 11yo males.
