And this lion from Gir... Opponent's claw caught him in the eye socket & ripped off the bone covering the nasal cavity. 

Now i couldn't confirm whether this healed or who this lion was, but the recently deceased male called Bado didn't have the eye & had a similar scar.  It could have been him. @jordi6927

@Rishi :

About #228: I can't believe it ! This male lion, Bado, is an unbelievable touch guy. After having had the whole eye ball destroyed and snatched with the skin that goes with it, it had recovered from its wounds and actually lives an almost "normal" male lion's life ! One-eyed lion's life...

Hello grouch guy ! All my best...

@Spalea With Gir's dominant lions, if you wait a bit, they'll soon pick up unique scars that makes identification easy.

Chekado was the darker maned one, picked up the scar in 2014. (Actually if you watch the documentary India's Wandering lions you'll see him with the raw wound).

@Rishi :

About #232: they really formed the duo of the one-eyed lions.

I just come to see the very interesting documentary you indicated, in its entirety this time, and, indeed, I recognized Chekado.

Thank you !

Lion Recovery Fund - Male lions are often known for their iconic manes, but Kalamas is known for the lack thereof. Kalamas is a majestic male lion that lives in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater where our grantee Kope Lion works.
Recently Kope Lion spotted a male lion in the crater that had appeared to have lost his mane. They were able to identify this lion as Kalamas by his whisker pattern. While they aren't sure why he lost his mane, they think the hair loss could have been caused by the stress of coming into contact with other lions or traveling between the Serengeti and the crater.


It appears even lions have bad hair days, but the good news is that his mane grew back in a few months time! Just look at the difference when Kalamas has a full mane. ? Big thanks to Kope Lion for these pictures!

Holy #$@&%*!
This Kalamas guy here used to look like this before he became shaved Aslan.
Belly mane is back to the crater!!! Him traveling to Serengeti & back is evidence enough that Ngorongoro isn't that isolated, genetically.

Are there any side-frames of him?
Pictures of same adult lion with & without mane would be quite a grab.

Edit: Don't bother, found one. Apparently his mane was able to grow back within a few months time.

Physically, he didn't look that large though. ©Arjun Dheer

@Spalea Chekaro & Bado... After Bado's death his brother shrinked & shifted territory. I learnt that last month he got gravely injured & was moved to rescue. They do it because otherwise at this age, he'll just be killing cubs in the area even if he survived.
