The Charleston Males and Their Male Lineage

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"The Charleston males were feeding on one of many Cape Buffalo kills made by the Southern Pride in the last 72 hours, allowing for our guests to get the experience of the commotion that occurs while lions feed."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
@vinodkumarn:
About#195: Power and explosiveness (explodability ?) I would say. As we can guess, perhaps these two males were quite quiet and sated and suddendly they explode against one another (the cub is just behind them, meaning perhaps that he didn't feel the coming wrath, nor the lioness). 
The atmosphere was tense from the time these two boys met up early this morning. They are known as The Charleston Males of Sabi Sabi.
For some reason the one did something that the females did not like, in particular Mandleve and she went for him. As if that was not enough - maybe more embarrassed that a lady slapped him hard he went for his friend. It was a quick tiff and over within seconds. No blood that I could see. I have wished for an interaction like this between two male lions for all my life and last week Wednesday (9/11) I got to see this. The sounds are something no one can explain or try to tell you, the intensity of this. When I phoned home later this day I was so overwhelmed, emotionally and cried so much that my husband could hardly hear me. I have an incredible series of photo's of this incident which I will share in due course. I am very thankful and grateful that I had the opportunity to have been in Sabi Sabi and at the right time in the right place (and in the right vehicle).

"The Southern Pride managed to take down yet another buffalo, not too far from their original kill site. The two males had a few bites and have subsequently moved off."  *This image is copyright of its original author
An article and all great photos regarding the brother's fight

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"The two Charleston males were resting in the shade of a tree for most part of the day yesterday and then again in the evening, they both rose in a majestic fashion with much flashing of teeth and flexing of muscles and set off on the continuation of their boundary patrol."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

The two Charleston males have returned after a few days of absence while re-establishing their boundaries after the recent rains and are now not too far away from the rest of the Southern Pride.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

The Charleston males were tracked down this morning! They are covering a lot of distance and actively roaring as they go…  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
