They look fragile, looks like they havent eaten in a long time. They a big kill so they can fill their bellies
RE: N'waswitshaka males - WildRev - 12-21-2021
Ubuso, Lion sands , December 19 (5th footage)
Doesn't look fragile at all to me, he looks like he is in his normal condition, with his atrophied backlegs
RE: N'waswitshaka males - Duco Ndona - 12-21-2021
Its a fragile but normal look seeing their situation.
Keep in mind they are not with their pride at the moment. So they have to hunt for themselves. Which may be complicated by mating, (which is a good drain in fitness) and a unfamiliarity with the area.
RE: N'waswitshaka males - WildRev - 12-21-2021
??? What's fragile about their look ? Ubuso has always been like this, even with the prides and the other N'was looked normal in that photo.
It's not the first time they aren't with their pride and it has always been fine for them, and the familiarity of an area has nothing to do with appareance. And if they're mating then lionesses are with them for the hunts.

Agreed, they seem very resilient, but I believe the fragile comments are reference to the image @Tonpa posted, and he is looking very thin in the hind quarters. We've seen lions rebound from far worse condition, HB and Ginger for instance, so perhaps fragile was a bad choice, but the comment in Tonpa's post saying they could use a meal seemed spot on.

Yeah but the image Tonpa posted the the footage I posted are around the same time, which makes me think that it's just the position that makes his hind quarters so thin and that he is in his normal condition

That very well may be the case. I know, using HB in another reference, but in the beginning of his final days he was quite thin, but there were some images floating around that made him appear like he was literally skin and bones, but when he stood up it was not as bad as those images made it appear. Of course as he began to lose his pride his condition worsened, but I am specifically referring to the early stages, when he was still hanging with some of the subs. Nwas' are a very strong and resilient coalition, I'd expect them all to be fine for quite some time yet, they all have some sort of injury that they are dealing with, and they continue to thrive.
In my first HB and Ginger reference I was referring to when they first returned to SS, they were very thin at that time.

Gore is the one who has amazed me the most. An internal hernia is one thing, and one can live with those, but one protruding outside of the skin like that is something else entirely. His body's ability to cope with an injury like that is very impressive.

Yeah he definitely deserves a lot of respect
