I am not speculating to what happened to Rasta, as that is all it will ever be, I am only questioning the injuries to PB, as that image doesn't appear to be from a fight with another lion, at least to my untrained eye. I have no opinion to the rest of the comments made by the author of that post, but this was the first time I had seen these images of PB's injury, which I why I inquired. We know that Dreadlock's death was at the hands of a poacher, possibly Rasta, but could PB's injury have been caused by men as well?
That injury on PB's back can easly be by the bite of another male.. I dont think that poachers would use spears to hunt lions, yet rifles..
In area around Masai Mara local tribes hunt lions with spears, but in Kruger i dont think thats the case..
That also looks to me as a bite plus some infection and inflammation.
As per "Occam's Razor," I tend to prefer the easier explanation of lions doing what lions do, i.e. killing each other for territory and mating rights.
You may very well be right, and are certainly taking the right approach I believe. Perhaps I was reading too much into it, perhaps it was a combination of a lot of factors, but I agree the simplest approach is often the best choice. Thanks!

It look like Othawa M and T are younger than I though some time ago which makes them even more impressive. They were looking amazing for their age.

Too bad none of their male offspring survived.... Can you imagine the press and attention they'd have gotten?! Even now, there are many who ask over and over where the male offspring are and nobody knows except for the two that took off in KNP, then suddenly disappeared.
Would be even more intriguing to find out the exact amount of surviving offspring sired by each of the males....percentage wise. This could generate endless discussions and excitement, LOL. Hard to believe Satan systematically killed the last set of cubs by his coalition. No, they had to be his even though he must have known they were at least his brothers. The cannibalizing of those lions he killed. Wonder what triggered such aggression and the need to dominate at all costs? Extremely high testosterone running rampant? Almost unnaturally so. I guess lots of competition can trigger unnatural behaviors....

It is normal for a male lion to try to kill cubs which are not potentially his.
