You can see in this video that he has pretty good damage to his hind legs or spine the way he is moving, and you can clearly see it appears they had his underbelly as well. Anything is possible of course with these animals, but it's not looking good. RE: Avoca male lions - Mapokser - 06-02-2023 I feel sorry for the DeLaporte male watching this video, though I think it's a bit soon to assume he died, the guest might have just assumed he died, there's a photo of him alive and away from Avocas after all. Still, impressive feat by the Avocas. When these guys first arrived in SS they were wreaking havoc despite their young age but after defeating Tsalalas and becoming dominant it seemed they lived a mostly peaceful life ( for what I know about them ), however many years later when push comes to shove they chased 6 Nkhulus away and weeks later they attacked 5 of them, scattering the younger males, badly injuring DeLaporte male and reminding us they are one of the strongest duos out there and maybe even one of the strongest ever, simply incredible. And not only that but as 10yo males they are a bit out of their prime and lost a bit of mass but my goodness they still look amazing.

Yes I was surprised at that as well and they look younger than they are. They still look in amazing shape and look massive.

One of my favorite duos, always in amazing condition. RE: Avoca male lions - afortich - 06-03-2023 RE: Avoca male lions - WildLeonis - 06-03-2023 The S. Avocas have always seemed pretty formidable even though it’s only two of them. I think it’s because their bond is so strong. It is extremely rare to see them patrol etc. without the other. They are definitely one of the strongest coalitions I’ve seen in my short time watching wild lions. RE: Avoca male lions - Potato - 06-07-2023 An unexpected sighting… We came upon this dead elephant (natural causes), and it was not alone. The Mohawk Avoca male – ever the opportunist – had taken advantage of an effortless meal. Video Credits: Jordan Jacobson (@theumlungu ) *This image is copyright of its original author
RE: Avoca male lions - GhostCatP-22 - 06-08-2023 Re picture Post 2429 Where did Mohawk find this elephant as on wild earth they have a dead elephant too. One has tusks and one without tusks. What could kill or why could 2 elephants die so close together? Are the nkuhumas by Mohawk? I’m still dreaming that he forms a partnership with Talamati boys and Nym. What are the chances that Nym and Mohawk recognize each other? RE: Avoca male lions - Duco Ndona - 06-08-2023 It may have been the same elephant. Sometimes the reserve removes those from death elephants to prevent resurectionism by poachers. |
