There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Its hard to say because they are not standing, but I would say they are around 8-9 months old there, definitely not 1 year old yet, so should be born around July/August 2015.
Abstract of the 14 min. video is that all 4 brothers are together now and there is much improvement in Uboso health. These boys are very confident and hence roaring to show their presence to rivals and intruders.

From where did you get those dates?
As we see from this photos of Gore and Amahle as cubs, they are pretty much born at the same time, definitely not few months / half a year apart.
Also photos of them as subs from 2017 and 2018 also proves that. Amahle was just more developed one.
OE and Amahle are prob littermates, as they are pretty much twins.
OE and Gore cant be littermates, as they where sired by different fathers.
Just nitpicking, littermates for sure can have different fathers*, as for litters mater semper certa est pater incertus, but we don't which cub is from which litter so we just guesstimate Amahle and Gore have different parents.
*I even remember a documentary about feral cats of Rome, where two males actually mated the same female in the very same time, not that that is the only way how that can happen

No, it is definitely after, he didn’t limp like that before, also you can see scars on his face.
In the video, you can clearly see at 8:13 that he is missing the scar he now has above his right eye. It was before the attack. If this was a few weeks ago, but after the attack, his condition would be a lot worse.

I think it's after the attack.
Uboso never limped like this before the attack.
Not sure about scars near the eyes, but it has some new scars that can be seen in the video
'The Ndzhenga Males have made south-eastern Londolozi their territory over the last few months.
The four males that make up the coalition are fairly easy to tell apart. Pictured here are the two strongest; one a lot larger than the other and with a darker main (left). The one in the background has an injury where he was gauged by a buffalo during a hunt; a small portion of the intestine is hanging out his side. The fourth male (not pictured) is also sporting an injury after a run-in with two nomadic young males. He is distinguished by having a club front foot.'

They got him good on that leg, he was lucky they didnt broke it completley, i think he has similar injury to Birmingham young male when he got mauled by Ross males on that leg, will take very long time to recover, he maybe even never fully recover.
But despite that, now on few recent sightings he looks in really good condition overall.
Wide-Nose still limping, waoo he was more beat up than I thought at the time of the fight.
He single handedly dealt with 3 intruders. And 1/3 intruders never showed up again ( probably left for knp Or smthing else).
It's nothing less than miracle if he ( wildnose) make through and join his 3 brothers/ partners again.
Not my lions survive 1 vs 3 battle.
I mean last time 1 vs 3 battle I recall is baba yao ( largest bila shaka male and leader) vs 3 sala boys. And baba yao was mauled mercilessly. ( video is available on YT).
