Really good to see them again! (10-12-2023, 01:29 AM)Wyld@Heart Wrote:(10-10-2023, 07:59 PM)Tr1x24 Wrote: That was younger BYM.Just deleted my post regarding degrees of separation, lol.

They were ousted soon after joining and Maputo was seen alone for a few months till he found a new coalition partner. They are called the Maputo males now. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvKd25yL6Yj/ more on the new partner. Maputo Male is the older male with broken teeth, right? I wonder who his partner is.

Oh, I thought this was him and his new partner, that must be the second video I can't watch yet. Thank you my friend!  
Great news for KYM#1 and/or animals suffering.
Can anyone advise what is the scientific reason behind covering animals face when they're being worked on?

I think if they accidentally wake up sooner then expected, so they cant see anything and dont know what is going on. If they accidentally wake up and see bunch of humans next to him, he will go wild and attack.  (10-12-2023, 01:35 AM)BA0701 Wrote: They both look so darned good!

Really good to see them again! I agree my friend! I'm so elated to see both in excellent health and alive! Crazy how I just made a post last week about how I wanted to see them! TYM looks so much like Nhena! Gorgeous lions!
Not sure but his was a month ago so hopefully that was dealt with already and they would probably have checked if he was spotted around also as he was reported by many aswell. Will let you know if hear or see anything though

The eyes are also generally treated with an ointment or drops while they're under as from what I can remember, the cover obviously has to be removed before the animal awakes, or while it's still very groggy and this provides an additional layer of protection in that phase. I remember this from a documentary I watched on translocation of lions from one area to another. A vet would more accurately explain, I'm just going on what I've seen on a program. Watched this specifically being explained on that documentary about lions, but I'd imagine the same applies to all as I have seen the eye protection and ointments applied in elephant and rhino operations. 
Can someone identify this lion?
