N'waswitshaka males
|
After hearing the calls of lions in the distance, we decided to head to where they were coming from. Not long after our search began, we turned around a corner, and right in the road were the four N'waswishaka male lions. We watched them walk with purpose, marking their territory along their way, and then stopped after some time to groom each other.

Is it Orange Eyes, Wide Nose, "Amahle" and Gore in the back on the picture?

I think Amahle and Wide Nose could be littermates. They look almost identical now and seem to have the closest bond of the four brothers. OE seems to do his own thing, being slightly more dominant..

Amahle and OE are the most similar in face and sired by same male, which pictures are posted here already..

After some disturbing and sad news over the past weeks, we'd love to tell you very happy news! The Styx Pride was recently seen with seven new cubs, and added to the legacy of the N’waswitshaka males, "7 cubs from Styx, two cubs from the Southern Pride."
All hopes are that these cubs will enjoy a safe environment under the shadow of their strong parents. Make sure to turn up the volume The four N’waswitshaka males announce their presence loudly Lion Sands, South Africa Updates & Credit: @aidandunlop

Kinda surprised that internal part of his body hasn't shriveled up and died, still looks red
The nwaswishaka always look a rough n ready coalition. Do you think their manes will develop more as time goes on?

Majority of lions mane thins in Kruger summer, Nwaswitshakas had much larger manes half a year in winter time.. Now its again close to winter time, so i expect their manes to fill again..

All Nwaswitshakas mostly hang together, they are really close with their bond, so i dont think there is particular male or two who spends more time with them.. Nwaswitshakas remind me of Majingilanes with their bond.. I dont think they are opportunistic or confident as young Majingilanes where, but they have very strong bond like them..
Where the selati males a very close unit like the majingilane and nwaswishaka?
