Compelling video. I really miss Mfumo, what a specimen.

The king is dead. RIP Nsuku
RE: The Birmingham Males - Spalea - 10-16-2019
@Abomai :
Your link at #1639:
" A king is dead.
Once 5 members strong, the Gowrie male coalition is now down to 2. The third king to fall did so overnight. His last breath was probably a sigh of relief - this male had been in poor condition for some time. The 2 surviving lions are still in firm control of their territory and it doesn’t look like the loss will jeopardize their reign,
at least for the time being.
Long live the kings.

I was hoping Nsuku would be able to make it with his limp. Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated precipitously as evidenced by this photograph which was presumably taken sometimes before his death (all credits to the photographer, I couldn't find a name or account to credit the image to.)

Does anyone know how my favorite lion injured his hip?
RE: The Birmingham Males - Musa15 - 10-20-2019
Over the past 2 decades we've been spoiled with such amazing male lion coalitions(Majins, Mapogo, Matimba's, Notch's) who lasted for so many years, way beyond what most Lions normally last in the wild, that perhaps one tends to forget how quickly it can fall apart and that even some of the most impressive Lions can die even in their prime. R.I.P. Nsuku, hopefully the remaining 2 brothers can maintain their power.
RE: The Birmingham Males - sanjay - 10-20-2019
What...Wait a minute... These 5 male impressive collation now remained to 2 ?
Oh my.. I was not following this thread from long time and now I am feeling how stupid I was. Can any one write a small summary how 3 of these lions died ?

Kambulas attacked him when he was trying to stole their food. Also there is one more think which Mala Mala broughts in their report:
"One of the males is still not in good health and hasn’t been for a while. His condition seems to be getting worse, albeit slowly. We can’t help but think back to the Matshapiri male who died near Campbell Koppies a few years ago for there appear to be several similarities with regard to symptoms. We believe that bovine tuberculosis(BTB) is the cause. BTB is a slow-progressing disease. The estimated time from infection to death is between two and five years. The majority of lions appear healthy. Lions with advanced BTB may show symptoms like swollen joints, slow-healing wounds, poor coat condition, weight loss, coughing and difficulty breathing. The male is currently showing signs of the symptoms in bold."

Scraper was gorged by buffalo, Mfumo disapedered in mysterious circumstances in mid 2018 and now Nsuku died from starwation as his leg was injured from a couple of months and he could not keep up with the pride nor hunt for himself.

Still a full and aesthetic mane as he slowly left this earth, even in death he remained majestic.
