Great, then there's no need for redundancy.

Couldn't really tell what was going on, but this is was apparently the Skorro Breakaways losing their kills to the Birmingham Sub-adults

Really hard to see in that video, but it appears that BYM is sticking with them as well, which is good for all parties. He appears a little thin in the hind quarters.

BYM on an kill by himself during todays sunset stream. interestingly the guide marcus referred to him as "osindile", wonder if Ngala is gonna go with the community name

Seems that the name given by Birmingham pride of lions FB page now is used by rangers

The young Birmingham male - as he’s growing up starting to look more like his father. It’s absolutely mind blowing how resilient these animals are and what they are able to bounce back from. In a perfect world he would’ve left his natal pride about two years back but rather decided to stay. Hanging on for as long as he possibly can he’s received a lot of bites, scratches and beatings from not only the Ross males but other males territorial to Ngala’s western and eastern parts - that’s just the life of a male lion. We don’t know if he’ll join the subadults of the Birmingham pride and become part of that coalition, maybe he wanders off, confident enough in his own ability and takes over a territory in couple of years like his older brother, the red road male, did. The future is uncertain but for now he’s looking strong, and getting bigger by the day

He is looking so good. I would sure like to see some video of him walking around. If he killed that Kudu, then clearly his leg isn't impacting his ability to hunt. As big as his body is, it still hasn't grown into that enormous head of his.
RE: Birmingham Pride of lions - Tonpa - 06-07-2021
Ah Marcus clarified, Ngala doesn't name the lions and he was just using the name that he heard the community using. Guess someone higher up spoke to him lol

Yes, I agree, and I also would like to see some video of him in hunting mode to see how does he hunt, because Kudu isn't an easy prey to catch.

BYM/Osindile defending his kill vs hyenas this morning, and he is still on a kill atm on Sunset stream, hyenas still around, but they dont dare to challenge him and they are waiting him to move on:

I'm afraid, like with DM, he's going to have issues with that leg the rest of his life. He's still favoring it quite a bit. Don't know if he killed that kudu, but if he did that's fantastic. However, in a fight, that leg could really cause him some problems.

It will be permanent, but i dont think its that bad.
RE: Birmingham Pride of lions - Tr1x24 - 06-08-2021
He is definitely not giving the carcass yet :
@BA0701 you can see him charging at hyenas, he is very quick and that leg doesnt bother him whatsoever, actually im quite sure he killed that kudu by himself.. His leg improved so much.
