There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The Matshapiri males reign was short, but crazy. I never have seen male lions with such an incredibly good-looking black-mane. Without a doubt, the Mathsapiri genes are something else.

Does anyone know if the Matshapiri males had any cubs that made it to adulthood? Are there any Matshapiri lineage lions or lionesses still wandering around somewhere? Would love to hear that they were able to pass on their beautiful dark maned genes <3

The two fourway males ( partner of jr hairy belly Torchwood male/ protector of leupan pride) are matshpiri male sons. 
They too have very dark mane at an age of 6

This is one of the fourways males (fathered by the Matshapiri males). This Lion has two different colored eyes and is indeed rocking the signature Matshapiri dark mane. Very cool <3

"1/3 Torchwood/Fourways coalition males seen at Tskokwane Picnic Spot in Kruger National Park, this is 1/2 offspring of matshapiri males who were once also in Sabi Sand. This male has one eye of each color and a very dark mane, he and his brother were born in 2014 in the Fourways pride" They are currently protectors of the Leupan and Mazithi pride. "There have been moods too of having taken on the Mantinmahles pride. Photographic record made by hanno.eramus.1, 02/11/22."

 This Matshapiri male has a quite nice dark-mane. He was quite blond back in the day, around 2020/21.

Yea not sure about Mohawk, but there was 1 younger male with them, so 3 young males in total :

Not sure when was this taken, but it might be that this younger male is either Mohawk or Old Lubyelubye.

Kinda make sense if its Old Lubyelubye, so 2 older Matshapiri males left him behind. 

Also Mohawk is kinda similar to one of old Nkuhlu males :

Do you have any better photos that show the face of that younger male? It is really impossible to tell if its Mohawk or old LubyeLubye by just looking at the body
