The Birmingham Males

[Tshokwane]

I'm glad the info served you, I used to have the same preconceptions(prejudices maybe) about male lions. When I put them behind me and started to really learn about them, I was a little pissed off, but anyway that is the past, and now I try to pass the same I learned to others.

Today, the 5th Birmingham male was seen by Wildearth in their Sunrise safari, so there is a good lenght of video to watch of him walking in circles, zigzagging as he appeared to be looking for some other lion/s, possibly the young male of the Nkuhuma pride.
He's found in the 49:03 to 1:22:00 minute and then from  1:24:51 where the presenter finds him again to 1:53:00. In that last bit, you will be able to hear him making the soft contact call used to call for his brothers or a female(at least that's what I understand). Then you will watch him walking alongside of the car, it's absolutely amazing.

Here are some pics of him taken from the very same video(so bare with me, and the one who took them, for the quality)
