Cool report by Darren Donovan from Manyeleti back in the day, his guest went there just to see the Matimbas, and having seen all the famous lions of the Greater KNP, he thought Matimbas were the biggest!

Excellent...who is around now a days that compare to the matimba's? Zig zag mbiri or the leeubron perhaps
The Hairy Belly Matimba male:
 *This image is copyright of its original author Browsing through facebook today I saw comments claiming that the Nkuhuma Breakaway subadult male sired by the PCM has a hairy belly too:  *This image is copyright of its original author Honestly I can't see it, and I haven't found the suppose footage showing it "clearly" as people were claiming, but regardless, this guy is a Matimba grandson, and people think his mother resembles HB, I also remember thinking he looked similar to HB when he was younger:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author But regardless, it'll be interesting to see how he'll look when he grows up, and if he develops a hairy belly like some are claiming, it'll be pretty cool to see it, since the only Matimba descendent to have it was the Torchwood male, though it seemingly vanished once he got older.
One of the 3 massive Old Skybed males, the father of the Matimbas, he resembles Slitnose a lot:

Throwback Hairy Belly Matimba welcoming the tourists on his own way at @londolozi in 2017 Sabi Sands
No way this is Ginger, right? So which Northern Matimba is this one? Shaka? Though it has a cut on his nose, so maybe Slitnose?

No wonder the Majingilane chose to expand west against the Selatis instead of north against Matimbas in late 2012. 
The impressive frames of the S.Matimba males, HB:

I wonder how many of the Matimba-Torchwood offspring survived. I wish we got more updates from that area.

I had a question the Matimbas had cubs with the Styxt pride that survived? |
