@Skybed 

About reply #49, is difficult to ID in these photos. What info you have about them? Where did you get the photos? Surely, they have a beautiful and impressive black mane.

@Ngala 

that's right mate. The website I got these images from is in Chinese. And apparently the title translates into 'rescuing the mermaid coalition'. I guess something must be wrong somewhere lol. Hopefully someone in this forum knows any info cause these males look awesome!

This is the link to the website

The skybeds still in power? Still in two groups? Anyone know what prides they control? Are they still in timbavati?  Are they close to the mohlabetsi coalition?

Yes, they split off on two groups: 3 and 6 males, they live in KNP, the Mohlabetsi coalition live in Klaserie.

From Latest Sightings - Kruger:
"We will just lay, here, thanks!"
Another lion road block, this time on the H7

Sometimes during the mornings when there is a cold chill in the air, animals will come to lie on the road as the tar provides some warmth for them. Much like how a cat likes a mat. These lions seem to just love the H7 today
