Born to the Avoca Pride and sired by the Avoca/Giraffe Males of the Timbavati area in early to mid 2013. He first appeared with two others in the northern Sabi Sands in February/March of 2018 at Buffelshoek.Dam. As there were no other territorial males in the area at that time they quickly established themselves as the dominant males. The three of them started mating with the Talamati and Nkuhuma Prides soon after and cubs were born in early to mid 2019 with both prides. Aside from the dar mane that gave him his name, Dark Mane can be recognised by a distinctive limp. This limp stems from an injury to his right leg he sustained while taking down a buffalo with Nkuhuma Pride. Max Supply: 600

This lion was born in late 2015 to one of the older Mhangeni females and sired by one of the Majingilane males. He, two siblings and 9 other sub-adults from the Mhangeni Pride were forced into early independence by the pride wehich marked the start of a tough journey through life. This male and a brother/cousin first showed up near the Nkuhuma Pride around September of 2018 with a bad case of mange. The two followed the Nkuhumas around for ometime after which his brother/cousin disappeared. Over time ther Mhangeni was accepted by part of the Nkuhuma pride and formed a bond with a young Nkuhuma male, a younger lioness and the oldest female known as Nana. He did recover from the mange and following this did well and was seen moving around the Sabi Sands with others for a while. Unfortunately, he was found dead in November of 2019. An autopsy found he died of natural causes and an internal infection. Max Supply: 200

The Stump-tailed female of the Talamati Pride is quite the miracle survivor. No one knows what happened to her as a cub, but she was seen one day trying to follow her mother and the rest of the pride,.dragging her hind legs, and unable to walk. With the help of her mother and with the pride taking care of her, she managed to overcome this injury and while she still walks with a bit of a limp with her hip, and has the end of her tail missing, she has ended up doing quite well given her difficult start in life..
