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.

He's clearly got into it with someone but who I'm not sure. Believe the sighting took place at Inyati and it's said he took the kill from a unidentified lioness.

He took the kill from his daughters - Othawa lionesses were also spotted at the sighting. They seemingly ran away from him, so whatever familial affinity they once had is gone now Sad

He's taken quite a beating and the injuries run down his back, but not quite near the hind quarters. Probably got into it with a lion, but wouldn't be sure who it was. Most likely with one of the PCMs, because I imagine the injuries would be worse if both had attacked him. I can't see him clashing with any of the lionesses in the west (Manghenis are tolerant of him, and the Ximungwes are just two). But he's a survivor, so crossing my fingers that he'll pull through.

Yeah, He took it from his daughters who didn't hang around to figure out if Dad still loved them...

Now, who beat up Tumbela?  Kruger and S. Avoca?  PCM's?  If the PCM's are starting to feel pinched they may not let Tumbela go with a warning anymore.

Skorro Jr. (Tumbela), Youtube version of the video above by @Mwk85

I think most of this scar tissue is just fluids running down. So the wound is still pretty recent. He also seems a bit on guard. 
I suspect this was a very recent fight in roughly the same area as this was filmed. Or at least if he was chased off, where the chase ended.  

A pride would have just chased him off probably. So the most likely culprit is a PCmale. As the other groups usually stay further to the east.

I dont get why every time he tried to form a coalition, he just abandons. At one point he'll realize he wont make it out there without a permanent partner

He wasted a lot of time of his prime playing make believe pridemale with the Othawas and Ximhungwes. This kept him from joining up with others as its not something pride males do.
He only went purely nomadic after his health declined. But that made it difficult to be accepted by others.

The one male he seems to have spent the most time with, was Nkuhuma, and it seemed that when they were in the presence of a female, Skorro Jr got pretty aggressive towards Nkuhuma, in a show of dominance for mating rights, and not long afterwards Nkuhuma went on his own way.

Exactly. Also if remember correctly, they got split and Tumbela got beat up by a coalition (not sure if Gijimas, Ndsengas or PCMs) and they never reunite thereafter.

I think with the Tumbela male lion is different. He maybe a little older than Nukhuma male lion, but he has been with lionesses and cubs. Tumbela male lion may had thought Nukhuma male lion was ready. Nkuhuma male lion left, but when the Tumbela male lion would roar; it was the Tumbela male lion roaring with more energy. Nkuhuma male lion looked and was hesitant when roaring. He would roar, but he must of done it because the Tumbela male lion was doing it.
