If I remember correctly my friend, when they performed the autopsy on S8, it was determined that he had peritonitis, which in most cases is a fatal infection of all the internal organs. 
So TB is in all lions because of the infected buffalo they eat right? So if a lion gets hurt or injured and it doesn’t get better fast enough the TB will take over a weaken lions body and they’ll die, so is it anything they can do to fix that? I mean I know they can’t cure all the buffalo or whatever but it’s nothing they can do?

You're right, S8 got several things. In that case, peritonitis will kill anything within a few days. For TB to kill will take longer. Therefore, it is very likely that peritonitis was one of the main reasons for his dead. 
From the Mantimahles thread: blonde Mantimahle currently in Djuma while dark maned is in Manyeleti Buffelshoek. So Mantimahles currenly are split and quite far from each other (7km tells my Google Maps). That should lower the chances for another encounter with K4 (or other Kambulas) in the coming days
Ginger-maned Mantimahtle male on Sunset safari with three unconfirmed lionesses, potentially Imbalis, and they crossed north into Buffelshoek towards the end of the drive. He was limping slightly, possibly a souvenir from their fight with K4.

Looking like Makhunga in this last pic.
They seems to split a lot which is even better for bigger coalition, though Kambulas haven't capitalized on it yet.

Dont think they split any more than any other coalition, just because we see them at the moment when they are split doesnt mean thats how they are most of the time. Also, they are in the proccess of mating with Imbalis and some NKs, so thats normal that they are each with their mating partner.

Not familiar with the 'original' Mantimahle males, but I imagine the ginger-maned Mantimahle was fathered by the same male that fathered the two PC boys. These males are all over the place at the moment. Mating with lionesses from the Nkuhuma, Imbali breakaway and Nharu prides. While this will take some of the pressure off the Kambula males, it's probably not going to lead to much stability, and we could likely see a similar situation with the PC males and their prides in the west.

We cant tell these things with 100% certainty, but he is prob not. PCMs are prob sired by Orange Mane:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Imo this blonde son is sired by Sharp Eyes, who had lightest mane of Mantimahles, those sharp eyes and big black lips, just like son:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author His black maned brother is very likely by 5th, he doesnt look similar to any other Mantimahle in face, 5th also had by far darkest mane of his brothers in early days, and not as muscular build:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
@Tr1x24
You will know these males way better than I do, but to be honest that last picture of Orange Mane Mantimahle looks just like the ginger-maned Mantimahle (who isn't really that blonde, just compared to his black-maned brother). Though the senior Mantimahle male does have a wider nose.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Whereas in that first picture of Sharp Eyes, he looks facially very similar to the PC males in my opinion, particularly when they were younger.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

@NLAL11
Well, we can find similarities if we want even for unrelated lions, let alone same blood. Sharp Eyes and Orange Mane are similar, they are prob sired by 1 old Mazithi, while Boss, HonestFace and 5th by another, first ones had lighter manes, while other 3 darker ones. But there small differences in face structure which separates them, such as nose, lips and eyes. I just posted few pictures to example. When we compare lions like that, we need to look at more sample sizes, not 1 picture where males look similar on that particular shot.  |
