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.

Really excited about the genes of this cubs as PCM have those beautiful manes and this Othawa females (correct me if I am wrong) have that big Matimba genes. I haven't put the Tumbela genes as I could not find a prime photo or video of them that I can reference on what a prime Tumbela genes would have, as 2 males died quite early and the last Tumbela male I would not say that he is in his prime state as stress and conflict as a lone male lion is taxing to a male lions body.
Yes, they do have Matimba blood running through their veins, from their mother, Sassy. In his prime, Skorro Jr was an average sized male lion, as he remains today as well, but a stunningly beautiful one. Between him and his brother, I always felt that Scar had the chance to become the most impressive of them, he was just never able to reach his potential due to illness. In the beginning Scar was the most dominant of the three. Limper was dealing with illness and injury most of his time with the Othawa Pride, and always appeared, to me, to be the smallest of them all.
It is unknown which of the Tumbelas sired the two cubs, it would be between Scar and Skorro Jr, as I don't recall Limper having been seen mating, but in the beginning it was Scar who dominated the mating.

Tumbelas also have Matimba genes, as their mothers (Bboys sisters) are daughters of Matimbas sisters (Birmingham pride) and Old Birmingham males.

Birmingham old male lions are fathers of the mothers of Tumbela male lions?

No, it was the Thanda Impi coalition, Skorro and Sizanani, he was saying that the Tumbelas mothers were sisters of the Birminghams, and daughters of the Matimbas sisters and the old Birminghams.

Ok that makes sense Matimba male lions came from Birmingham. lion who was called Tinyo similar to Harry belly Matimba.

Hairy belly, Tinyo and Zigzag Mbiri all have that amazingly unique mane with big elbow pouffs.I wonder if they all have the same mother?

In a way prime Tumbelas appeareance would be Thanda Impi males in top condition. I almost wrote Skorro Thanda Impi, but Sizanani's genes might very likely get passed on through Othawas as well, as we can only guess who exactly sired whom (both in case Tumbelas and these generation of Othawas). And as Skorro and Sizanani were not closely related (unrelated but who really is in closed ecosystem) than any of their two "looks" might (partially) pop out in future Othawa's generations.
