This picture better shows the extent of HB's injuries and his overall physical condition. Seems to be carrying the same old injury on his hip as shown in post #661 and some new bite marks on the spine. Looks to be in okay physical condition and could use a meal but in no way is he on his absolute last legs.

Two majestic male lions took a rest next to one of the seasonal watering holes. They seem to have a couple of battle scars and hopefully they can make a kill in time, so they can recover as quickly as possible

Two of the Matimba male lions were found this morning after not seeing any for the better half of a month. There was a sigh of relief, as the pursuit to find these animals finally paid off.

MALAMALA TODAY: October 15th & 16th. 7 lion sightings: Yesterday the Kambula pride killed a buffalo in eastern Flockfield. This morning 5 of the lionesses were found moving west towards the Sand River whilst the 6th was just north of Rattray’s Camp- her separation from the pride could mean that she’s looking for potential den sites. The tailless lioness from the Marthly pride and her niece were viewed moving east from Matumi Rocks with only 1 cub. The 2 Avoca males were in the northwestern corner of Charleston. The 2 Clarendon males were viewed separately in southern Charleston.

These two male lions were successful in taking down a female buffalo and despite having plenty to feed on, all table manners were forgotten as they fought over their prize.

Two mature male lions were spotted in the middle of an open area feeding on a female Cape Buffalo which they seemed to have killed only a few hours before.

The buffalo kill will help them a lot with there injuries.
RE: the Matimba coalition - Chris - 10-19-2017
@Tshokwane do you think the matimbas can get another pride?

The two Matimba males have been enjoying their buffalo they killed a few days back and it seems as if a big clan of hyenas are moving in.

I think there's a posibility of it, yes.
They're still big enough to impose respect on younger males, like the Avoca or Tsalala males, but it'll be tied down with their health.
They've been struggling to feed themselves and at their age that weakens them a lot.
For now, the territory is vacant and the Southern pride don't count with the protection of the Charleston males, so it might be their best shot.
But it's relative, and the threat of both the younger coalitions is there and that dominance would be short lived, I suspect.

The last northern matimba boy is still alive!
RE: the Matimba coalition - Chris - 10-21-2017
Do think the northern male will ever join his 2 brothers? @Tshokwane

I don't think it's very realist to expect it, especially now that they've come south. Besides, it's not like they're searching for each other or anything, so that makes it even more unlikely.
