one for the eye, another one for the right side and another for the left side

thank you Richprins
it seems to me that the eye is not exactly the same (the design inside the eye)
and a small/tiny "V" in the left ear
need a pic of the jaw (for the thooth)
what do you think Mel and Gawin
Gawin, yours has already few quilles of Porcupine in the neck

Re: The Lions of the Kgalagadi (or not!) KTP May/June 2022
I'm pretty sure the whisker spots are the same. And the fact that the eyes don't match exactly is most likely just down to the fact that there are a few years between those photos and the condition just worsened at old age. Plus, they are both blonde males. How many of those do you get in general in the KTP. Would be a major coincidence if there are two with a silver eye on exactly the same side, I'd say.
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Thanks everyone, and also for all the silver eye input
Sunday 12 June 2022
Our last Kgalagadi sunrise until May 2023
We were only going as far as Kiemos on our way home, which gave us the opportunity of not only a last game drive and also being able to pack up after that and only leave the park by lunch time
We decided once again (predictably) to go north
The drive up to Kij Kij provided sightings of
Gemsbok
And Wildebeest
(We weren’t complaining as it would be a while before we would be back in the park)

At Kij Kij we came across this juvenile martial eagle, who gave us a great display
It flew around the area a bit, so we managed a few decent shots of it

Subadult martials are fun to watch. They often do silly things
