Tinyo‘s interaction with the lion cubs on the beach is so heartwarming, made me cry.

Tinyo has the biggest paws I have ever seen on a male lion. Where ever you may Roam& Roar Tinyo I hope you have no pain. ❤️🦁👑

ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR TRIBUTE…!! I am amazed by each and every one of our majestic Kings…!!! So sad when they grow old and pass on the their next life…!! But I have to say.. it a great thing when they get to grow old Many of these beautiful beings don’t even get the chance to grow up… never mind.. OLD THANKS FOR BLESSINGS US WITH THESE OUTSTANDING CREATURES 💕🐾🦁🐾💕

I remember one day i open the nkorho live cam and in the same time i did it Tynio appeared walking to the pond, drink a little bit of water, went to North and dissapeared into the night. I remember the lucky i had in see Tynio in the live cam one time.

So sad. They were my favorite coalition. Mfumo was my favorite but I loved them all. Seeing their dynamics on safari live was so amazing. The day we saw Mfumo with a baby chameleon in his mane was so funny. The boys are truly missed. REST IN PEACE SWEET BEAUTIFUL BOYS! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

The Birmingham Boys have had an impressive reign and ruled longer than most. They left nothing on the table and have brought me joy since they first rolled in to SS and were with the Nkuhumas. I saw the fall of the Mapogos, Selatis, Manjinglane, Matimbas, but the was something special about those Boys. Nhenha has always been, hands down, my favorite Boy. He’s strong, but I know he’s old, and now probably alone. I try to find the joy in their offspring. The lone Tsalala lioness, torchwood male, the Nkuhuma male,and definitely the Kambulas subs. Those girls and boys are gorgeous and the Kambula girls are fabulous mothers. “Time waits for no man” (or animal.)

@@ubombogirl Mine too. I thought I would be more upset and them dying off, but they had great lives as far as wild African lions go. Life is rough in the bush! The loss of the entire Sparta pride, the Tsalala brothers and the Mangheni, especially Big Boy Mangheni almost killed me, and the Tsalala lioness… don’t even get me started! But it’s because their deaths were unexpected and untimely. Although her Birmingham sired daughter is all but grown and was as big as her mother, she’s the last Tsalala and she’s still alone and that’s no good for any lion.

I loved the Birminghams! Mfumo was my favorite but disappeared long ago. Then Tinyo, who became a loving & affectionate father. Sometimes grumpy but NEVER mean with the cubs. The Birminghams live on through their progeny. May the Birmingham coalition roam the savannas of eternity in peace. 💕🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁💕

Love you tinyo miss you so much

Long live King Tinyo! Incredible lineage he left us!

I think he is alive and protecting his cubs

Following the Birmingham Boys since 2014 2015 beer forget my Brothers

I`ve been watching lion coalitions for about 10 + years regularly and it `s crazy/sad/emotional to see young coalitions popping up out of nowhere, reign for a good few years ( if lucky 6-8 years like the Majingilanes or the Mapogos) and vanish/die old. That`s nature!

Il mio favorito, Tinyo♥️🦁

Leones leones what wonderful eyes youve got. Majestic

Thank you so much for this 🙏🏻 All these amazing coalitions you have named are all legends. Tinyo holds a close place in my heart because he was such a loving father and protector. I will miss him dearly 👑💘💔

Billiant memories of a gorgeous and very successful coalition. I always had a particulaly soft spot for Tinyo. Of course, I never quite forgave them all for abandoning the Nkuhumas and going off "chasing skirt" in the more swanky part of town😉😆

love the Birmingham Boys

1:27 lol aww poor wee guy just wanted to hang out with dad

We all have our favorites lions and as time passes, sadly we will have to face the end of those favorites on this earth. Uncertainty is even more heart-wrenching, but since Tinyo, one lioness and three cubs have not been seen now in two months...we need to appreciate his life He had recovered so well from his battle with the Avocas; such a great King. Thank you so much for this tribute. I don't know how rangers and guides deal with these times as they are no doubt much more invested, so when we see these tributes come out, we have consider their loss as well. Well done and thank you.

Please folks stop saying and assuming he’s dead tinyo was seen with nhena patrolling and on a carcass around the week of thanksgiving or first few days of December so until I c his body tinyo is very smart he lost a few pounds but he’s always be the one who will fight until death and nhena was the brut he was bigger but followed tinyo lead so however they communicate here recently they have been taking huge risks splitting up to cover more ground and then they circle all the way back around and meet back up with the kambula super pride and they stay with them for days sleeping and playing with the kids and showing the adult females some love as well by mating with them and protecting them from other lions, hyenas wouldn’t dare come near the pride with one of the bboys but having both there with the 10 adult females there no way any harm will challenge them during rest and family time so no disrespect let’s keep our hopes up and this gentleman doing a tribute was not a bad idea but it’s for wen an legacy of the Original males has passed and nhena is very alive with one half of the kambula pride and tinyo in my opinion on this only point is he’s with the other half

NHENHA IS STILL ALIVE...

You're a very sweet man to make a tribute to them. He was a force to be reckoned with for all but this last year, but it was clear that he was aging and life wasn't an easy thing for him anymore, especially with so many younger coalitions vying for his prides and real estate. To me it is obvious that male lions live such an intense and difficult life from start to finish that they aren't given many years. Some do better than others. Tinyo is dead I believe, because I don't think Nhena would ever leave him unprotected to starve. He loved his brother! But what a life he lived. What a lion he was!

Gracias from the bottom of my heart 💜❤️ Tinyo and Nfumo were my two favorites ones of the BBoys. They used to pair to do their patrols together marking their territory and meeting with their prides along the way. Another king had fallen Hail to Tinyo because he was a king on his own right. Thanks again!

What a very special tribute Villiers. One can see what your relationship with wild life is . Keep up the good work and also keep sharing with us.

Tinyo reminds me of Makhulu... thanks for sharing.

Grrrr, male lions have it so tough... exist in a duality here of life & death in their savage kingdom. We need to have better understanding, compassion & luv for the lions & wildlife. TY to all the Good Samaritans to help, to protect them without hesitation.

I loved the perseverance of the cute cubbie climbing over dad ♥️🐾 Marianne NZ

In some photographs Tinyo looks a lot like Makhulu as he got older. Anyone else agree?

Thanks for sharing your pics and memories with us of this legend!

Looks like he stopped and said good bye the way he looked at you guys before going into the bush

Awesome footage. Tinyo was such a great dad to his cubs. He was doy tolerant and always let them crawl all over him. Respect to the Birmingham's. Regardless of the fact that they chased my favorite lion of all time, southern matimba Hairybelly.

Thanks for sharing.. They were absolutely beautiful.. ❤️

Love the BBoys ❤ Maybe too soon for a Tinyo tribute though 🤔

Thanks Villiers. They will always be my fave coalition and also saw then when there was still 4 at Elephant Plains traverse back in 2017. Have a tattoo of Nhenha on my forearm and he is still looking great 💪🦁🙂

Thank you for this amazing tribute...so beautifully well done. I love that while acknowledging the potential of Tinyo passing, you haven't fed energy into the assumption that he is no more. How cool would it to be for him to emerge unscathed & surprise everyone?😎🦁🦁👑👑👑👑👑

The Birmingham Boys were a powerhouse. RIP Tinyo 👑

Tinyo is a magnificent and beautiful male lion and may he R.I.P! Nhenha is alone now and he is also a beautiful and strong Male! It makes me sad that they are all gone now and Nhenha is the last King of the B´Boys! Thanks for the beautiful pictures, the last footage of Tinyo with his cute cub was perfect!!!

I wish next life I will be a cub , and having Tinyo as my father.

Tinyo has always been so nice with his cubs...one of my fav lions ever together with Scarface and Cecil...thanx for this tribute❤

Great coalition and nice tribute to an excellent enforcer!

Tinyo looks so much like Harry Belly.

I remember the day when the Bad Boys marched into Djuma and the Matimba's took off.

Amazing ❤️👍✌️❤️

Such an handsome coalition of lion brother's. .

Cool video

Always sad to see animals you follow through the ups and downs of life, wild or domestic. It allows us an escape from our own ups and downs that all creatures struggle and rise and eventually fall. I think its a little sad with some, for me this is the case. Tinyo and Nhenha are the last of what i think of as the great coalitions of Sabi Sabi, Mapogos....even if i think at one point they were probably not good for lion society in general as captivating as they were. Mhjengi's, Matimba's, Selati's, and of course the Bboys. When Nhenha finally goes, which as of today 12/26/22 is still holding strong with his nephew. Will be an end of an era. They made Sabi Sabi what it is today, even with all the probably great lion coilitions before them. These five coalitions open up Sabi Sands to the world. For that they hold a bigger meaning for lion conservation.

If Nhenha of the Birminghams is still alive today roaming to get with his coalition partner the Nkhuma young male, maybe Tinyo is still alive too. He should look for his brother Nhenha. Then the2 will be 3!
