RE: Birmingham Coalition Male Lineage - Mapokser - 01-15-2023

Has anyone here heard about the Nkuhuma male after he was with Ximhungwes? I don't like to spread rumors so please take this with a grain of salt but I've seen a video of him with what seemed to be blood in his face and paw so I got worried. Can't tell if it's recent or the source exactly as it reached me after passing through multiple people, supposedly a recent sighting, I'm on mobile so I can even post screenshots but at least to me it didn't look like blood from a kill.

Neil Jennings has a new post of him w the Ximunghwe at a kill.   So he seems to be with them still

@criollo2mil oh I see, then it's just blood from feeding.


RE: Birmingham Coalition Male Lineage - criollo2mil - 01-15-2023

So does this look like it’s from the kill?   A fight?   He’s walking fine.  But the face seems scarred?

Yes, he does seem to be walking alright, but his face does seem to have some injuries, and seems swollen around the right side. But the video is a little small to get really good detail, so it is hard to say definitively.

Absolutely, NYM fought, his face is busted.

99% sure it's from a fight.

This was the video I was talking about, it seems he has blood on his paw and his face looks like it got injured in a fight... But hopefully it's just from feeding on the wildebeest. And indeed he has no limp, if that blood was from his paw I'd think he would be limping.

Edit: so others thinks it's from a fight... this worries me even more, the PCM seems to still be in Singita? And since he is not limping and his injuries are on his face and forearm then it must have been 1v1. If it was not one of the PCM, the only other option is Skorro Jr. Maybe Skorro Jr tried to oust him to take over Ximhungwes? It makes me worry about the Othawas too since they were seen with their father!

And If this was the case, it sucks because they are in a situation where they could only benefit from joining up, or maybe it doesn't since this potential new coalition would make things even more complicated in the west... Only time will tell.

Good to see 2 boys doing fine, although they are moving into area where we might lose track of them.

They are not anymore, they are seen alone today and are alright.

So it might be that Skorro Jr. found Ximhungwes and NK on a kill and small scrap happened.
