Any sighting of their seventh member?
Last update of him was on Thornybush. Looking very skinny
How did the 7th member get separated from the others??
He is falling behind due an injury. Hopefully he can recover from it and once again join forces with the other 6. Otherwise, the Birmimgham breakaway males may lost the oldest member. Only time will tell. These cats are very resilient

Any info/report on his injury? Didnt know he is injured.
He is quite older then others, he is around 6, while others around 4 - 4.5, maybe, just like his cousin BYM (who left white male and bros), he didn’t stick with them do to age difference.
Older males in a group of young males, often leave and dont stick with their younger brothers.

Idk if he is injured, through often when he was seen he was looking overly skinny, sickly, possibly TB.

On which photos?
I dont remember any photos like that.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 08-10-2022
He has been looking really thin for the last few months now. He used to have like a cist or something hanging from his stomach. The last time I saw him before he got skinny, and the bump on his stomatch it wasn't there anymore. So I think it might have ruptured inside and he probably has a bad infection going on inside his stomach area because of it. Hopefully he will make it, but his chances are very slim.

Xikukutsu males found the four BDMs this morning and chased them out of the area around Kubili Dam

RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tr1x24 - 08-10-2022
With 2 BDM coalitions, and Birmingham breakaway coalition maturing, i guess in future couple of months we will have a lot of action in Timbavati.
We will see if Skorros, Xikukutsu's/Mapoza and Hercules/Sumatra can defend their territory.

He is going to be a massive male. If the two Xikukutsu and Mapoza males do not join forces and chase these boys out of the area soon. A possibly confrontation is inminent. They're growing in strength and confidence. Definitely these BDYM means trouble for the nearby coalitions

Exactly my friend, if they don't reunite with Mapoza, they will sooner or later lose the territorial war to the 4 Black Dammers. Unless the young males decide to go elsewhere after being chased away once.
Or, they may gain confidence and try again.
These chases are like a game of bluff 9/10 times. Whoever blinks first and retreats first, will always be chased regardless... even if it is a bigger coalition of supeeior numbers. It is all about posturing and confidence.
