There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Could the face wound be from a warthog? What else could do that?
I love watching Cubs play with tails…tails are for playing! That male is really tolerant.

Sadly, he was speared by humans.

I also heard 2 of his females were speared too, and there was one other male I can't recall the name right now that was speared, plus Spearboy that Notch II son.

I don' t follow Masai Mara lions so closely but still heard of many of these instances so what's going on there? Humans and lions/other animals compete legally and they can injure the lions and that's it?

If so what a messed up situation, I've seen many people praising Mara for having vets treating the lions and I also support some intervention depending on the situation but man I'd much rather have no vets for natural wounds but a fenced territory like in the KNP, South Africa.

Herders illegally bringing their cattle into the Mara has been the main cause of the ongoing human wildlife conflict.

1/2 kijana boy was chased off by 2/3 Salas. I hope none of the lion on either side gets isolated and caught. Things can escalate badly

Three Salas males were seen with the Rekero Pride later in the day so they're all good. None have any fresh wounds so a fight seems unlikely to have happened.

I agree, id much rather have natural, no vet intervening with no spearing. In the Mara they have vet treatment and the reason it ever started was because of the Massai people spearing the animals. They spear Cheetah, Lions, Leapords., etc... Now it has evolved the vets treat any injured animal. 

We can't even count how many lions have been speared to death. Haile from the 4 Muguro Boys, Mandevu (Topi Boy), Many, many, many of Rekero sons, possibly Green Eyes and Cesare2 and so many more.

Lorkulup's facial injury appears to be healing. Cut doesn't look to be as deep as it originally was.
