Pride males don't get much finer nor majestic than BJ aka Bob Jnr, :5 son of one of the famous male coalition known as Bob and Ziggy*, (so named for both their impressive manes that grew so long they formed dreadlocks).
BJ, now at nearly 8 yrs old, is also starting to develop those famous locks and a dead ringer for his dad. :bg3:
We found him one early morning atop a small kopje waking up to survey his kingdom.

*Bob & Ziggy recently became the oldest documented coalition pair with both @ 15 years of age :Whoa!:, to survive in the wild, Bob died of injuries last May after a territorial battle with a much younger male and Ziggy now 16 is still alive but now seriously looking his age when I saw him last month and could be in his final year.
This pair managed to father cubs from 3 different sequential prides.
What an amazing achievment! :cheers:
