"A Matshipiri male lion sits in the tall grass and wildflowers as he watches his brother move towards a nearby waterhole."

They did chase each other on some occasions if I'm not mistaken. The matimbas are too old for a physical altercation with such young males who are in their prime, considering they are over 10 years old. Reply

Also, it wasn't witnessed, but Hairy belly appeared with some wounds after a time where he was being chased by the Matshapiris, so it's assumed they did it. It wasn't serious though. Reply
