If this report is credible.   It’s sad to report.   Nhenha has passed away.


RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 01-29-2023

RE: The Birmingham Males - Musa15 - 01-29-2023

Sorry guys:   LET ME HIGHLIGHT THE DISCLAIMER.

THIS IS IF REPORT IS CREDIBLE.

I am seeing much backlash that this report is pre mature.   UNCONFIRMED 

My apologies please.    But I dint know what to believe MYSELF

Wow. That's a shame. There isn't a better way to go out than fighting for a territory. Definitely left a lasting impression on me. RIP.

No worries buddy. So Nhenha's death is not confirmed yet ??


RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 01-30-2023

We shall see what it ends up being.

His situation is bad enough for him to pass on any moment.
But this could also just as easily drag on for a while.

Weird report. Heard from Londolozi? It's quite far from the west where he is. Usually it takes other lodges a while to become aware of any major event in their neighbors.

He also was far from skin and bones, the injuries weren't life threatening and he was last seen feeding. Unless he got attacked again the report doesn't seem true to me.

Do we know, from the past, if this guy giving the info is reliable?

Doesn’t mean it was londolozi giving the report.   Apparently that’s the name of a private FB group.   Exclusive to select personnel.   It was there the news apparently was posted.  They share information across Sabi sand.    But I’ve also seen messages saying it’s not confirmed.   But it doesn’t look good.  

He has been sighted by a dulini guide in very bad shape.   The picture he shared privately looks very bleak for him.   I myself doubt he makes it last 48 hours.  Hope I’m wrong.


RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 01-30-2023

One problem that worsens this is the mayor fanboy issues in the wildlife communities.

On one end we have fans expecting a mountain of evidence that their favorite king died. Evidence that nature itself often does not even allow the guides to have.

On the other it results in constant harrasment from fans.
So the guides may simply choose to avoid posting bad news. Just good news. GiviGiving a distorted view.

It may very well be that his passing or other news of a worsening condition simply does reach us anymore. Aside of rumours of sightings from trackers or guides on special closed facebook groups..


RE: The Birmingham Males - BigLion39 - 01-30-2023

I read a ton of conflicting info on this and supposedly it is not confirmed. Also read this pic is from many days ago, before he was sighted with the Buffalo, Scorro2, and the young lionesses.

This is very unfortunate news. I guess we are all waiting the official report from the reserves to see if this is true or not.


RE: The Birmingham Males - Mapokser - 01-31-2023

@BigLion39 the new picture of him in bad shape ( that wasn't released ), you say, is not recent but before he met the Othawas?


RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 01-31-2023

I think the pic in the latest unconfirmed announcement is from before the buffalo meal.

There apparently is another picture being shared privatly that is recent.
