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
 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.  
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. 
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.

It is sad that he hasn't stick with other lions yet.

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.

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. |
