Such a beautiful lion, he has that Makhulu'esque' nose.

He looks a lot like Uboso ? oh how I miss him

Yes, I agree.  Wonder if he voluntarily went separate ways from the females, or got run off and spooked my more mature males in the area....  He doesn't look too stressed in recent photos, but there's a healthy amount of wariness to his look, as there should be.

He definitely got ran out of the area plus he’s too young to go nomadic and he’s in Kruger I don’t think he’s ever been in Kruger he might be too scared to come back unfortunately but I hope not

He is definitely not too young to go nomadic.  He'll turn 3 in Jan., so in a couple of months.  Lions have gone nomadic much earlier.  The problem with his situation, is that he could use a partner or two at this stage.  Heck, if he had had that around the age of 2, he could have gone nomadic months ago.  

The person, (james_safariadventures) remarked that the young lion 'walks with a lot of confidence even at a young age'....so I wouldn't be surprised if he actually took the initiative and left to go at it on his own.  The problem with sticking to his sisters is that some of them might soon go into heat (plus with 5 of them...they are a magnet for every male surrounding them regardless), and he does not want to be seen with them then, because bigger males with more testosterone will put him at major risk.

No no no he is too young prime example the 3 othawa boys junior and the mini matimbas too young when they went nomadic floppy is too young if he gets in a fight he really can’t defend himself at 3 years old old compared to a 4 in a half year old male look at the kambulas they went to Kruger but they are much older so they’ll be fine and they aren’t alone. Not saying he won’t survive but he is too young to be alone in Kruger hopefully he finds some friends I don’t think his sisters will go into heat soon look at the southern girls they are older and aren’t ready to mate even tho they have but no cubs those girls have a long time BUT I hope I am wrong but if he was in sabi sands it would be different but him being in Kruger I am very worried

Nobody knows for certain his age, but Wonky appeared to be quite a bit younger than FE, when he shared a meal with Dark Mane, and he's been by himself ever since, until he just recently found some partners. We won't even mention Tsalala Princess, and the Othawa girls, and the Othawas weren't even 18 months when Sassy passed.

Just trying to be optimistic, I am concerned for him as well, but there is surely hope for him. Reply
