Xihamham old Shishangaan Male used to control the Mananga Pride
Currently, this Mananga Lion Pride is estimated to be 19 strong when all together, according to a head count that was done recently, which included six lionesses and thirteen sub-adults and cubs. Xihamham, "Old Grumpy," and brother are the Fathers of Casper The White Lion and his brothers were the only two remaining 'old' Shishangaan males. Sadly, Xihamham died in a fight with the two Trichardt males on March 31, 2023. They are no longer the pride males of the Shishangaan pride but are still known as the 'Shishangaan males'. They were born around 2008–2009. They were seven brothers in their nomadic days in 2013, and by the start of 2023, only these two were still alive. The two then controlled the Mananga and Mountain Prides.

They then decided to leave the area and retreat to the Singita Concession area, where they felt they might be save. Watch the real LION King, old Xihamham (The one that is limping) and his Brother
