Theres too little reports and photos from Mantimahle sons to make a separeted thread for them.

As for know ones, theres 2 s36/Mantimahle males, 2 Plains Camp males and 2 Sand River males.. S36 are around 4.5 - 5 yrs old, others around 3.5- 4..

Its unknown how many are they in Nkuhlu and other prides. Reply

I think doesn't are much sightings of the Mantimahle sons, I think if we make a thread for Mantimahle sons, the activity in the own thread could be very low Reply

Well said. Without mention that the 2 Plains camps and the 2 Sand river males weren't seen for months...
BTW,I would like to create a thread dedicated to a possible promising coalition. And, I think that that coalition will be interesting to follow in a few years. Reply

To be honest,I have not seen those photos.  Anyway, was that sighting of the plains camp young males recently? I mean,Do you have asked to the photographer by the date of the photos? Reply
