If thats true, then prob is Nkhulus.

There were people saying NK chased Tumbela off, maybe due to a lioness.
No idea if true, but it'd be a bit surprising.

Now I feel bad for Skorro... he's definitely now out of his comfort zone. Has he ever been this far south before?
RE: The Tumbela Coalition - Duco Ndona - 05-05-2024
We have seen before that Nym leaves his traveling companions once lionesses enter the picture, so that could have happened again. If it was a fight, we probably wouldn't have seen that desperate contact calling in the video.

Tumbela and Nkuhuma in the South Sabi Sand growing more bonded together

These 2 are very close in size, NK is obiviously more muscular atm because of Tumbelas struggle with leg (still we dont know if its only injury, or some disease, like Nkhulus have), but Tumbela in his "prime" from 2021-22 years should be more impressive male of the 2.
RE: The Tumbela Coalition - Robot00 - 05-14-2024
I hope that at this point in time of the NK male's life that he has "finally" found a lasting partner. A partner he's willing bravely to fight for and with. HOPEFULLY...

Are the Nukhuma male lion and the Tumbela male lion still together? How old is the Tumbela male lion? Isn’t he not 10 or 11 years of age? Or is he 9 years of age I am not sure?

He is just over 8 yrs old.
RE: The Tumbela Coalition - Mapokser - 05-14-2024
I hope this time the coalition works out.
NK is much bulkier and has a longer body, Tumbela was always a slender male even when he was dominant, before injuring his leg. Though currently he's rarely on his top form, but regardless the only thing he ever had on NK was mane.
RE: The Tumbela Coalition - Cath2020 - 05-14-2024
Just wonderful!! Tumbela is looking better than I thought. He's obviously got a bum left hip, but it's not making him limp very heavily yet. Almost like the BYM walk.... But if attacked, could quickly worsen. Hoping he has at least a couple of decent years ahead to potentially raise one more generation with the NK Male.
He's FINALLY let go of the western sector!!! He just needed to leave on his own terms.

I dont think he was, he was very bulky and muscular.
RE: The Tumbela Coalition - Mapokser - 05-14-2024
I disagree, he was always slender, but tall.
When NK and Nhenha arrived in the West the guides said Nhenha was bigger than him ( and guides even saw them fighting and chasing each other ), Nhenha was 12yo at the time and NK's size.
When they met with the Ximhungwe, Tumbela was basically in peak condition and NK was still bulkier and seemingly quite stronger as Tumbela couldn't push him off the kill despite being more dominant.
Tumbela is as tall as any other, NK, PCM... But he was never a bulky, muscular lion.

He was not in peak condition, he already had limp and was often seen in skinny condition.

Well I disagree, maybe he didnt had muscles like PCMs, but was bulky lion at his peak, to me atleast.

So happy that these 2 boys are together.
