The Avoca young male that was partner with Guernsey male.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mwk85 - 04-30-2024
The Black Dam males launched an attack on Mapoza and the pride while they were attempting to take down a buffalo. One of his sons was caught and suffered injuries to his spine and genitals. Not sure of the severity of the injuries.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Cath2020 - 04-30-2024
Wow, surpise ambush!!! Poor sub. Unlucky
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tr1x24 - 04-30-2024
Mapoza cant do anything here.
I guess he is "lucky" that he has sons with who he can move off as nomad.
Unfortunatley, Monwana pride has smaller cubs aswell, their future is uncertain, as its very likely BDMs will overtake that area.

Mapoza male was really lucky!

It is very odd, and impossible to see, as the camera panned away. but it looks like it may be a young male hanging onto the face of that buffalo. The camera follows the running lions, but the guide on the front of the truck points back at where the buffalo is, implying something is happening there. When the camera pans back, the lion is no longer hanging onto the buffalo, the buffalo looks around as if saying "WTF?!", and begins walking away, but you can see the legs of the lion that was holding it, now laying still, and moving slowly.
I do not know if that was the same male that was caught, or even know for a fact that was a male, but if that is, that has got the be the fastest mauling in history.

He sure was slow moving, after letting go of that buffalo. There's stealth, and then there's Mapoza stealth, a fantastic strategy! All kidding aside, I really hope the young male is not too badly injured. Those N BDMs work really well together, I wish their younger bros did as well.

When his brother died, many were shocked, believing surely this boy would have been the first of them to pass. To watch his struggles from afar, one can't help but wish for his successes, now he is nearing the end, and still his story touches us. Gutted.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Ttimemarti - 05-02-2024
Was it 3 northern black dam males that attacked or 4? I know the 4th probably wasn’t with but just asking
RE: Lions of Timbavati - criollo2mil - 05-02-2024
