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.

That makes sense then.
It was definitely Scar Tumbela. Just saw the video from Savannah more closely. It looks like he ate most of the kill, so makes sense why he didn’t want to fight. It’s the first good quality video I’ve seen of these males, and this Tumbela honestly looks a lot worse than I remember (his back legs and running without putting any weight on that injured foot). But if Buddy and HB are surviving in their condition, hopefully this guy can bounce back too.
I think those limpings at first glance look worse when he isn't moving for a period of time... Once that Scar Tumbela get to move and get warm the limp it will disappear, Obviously this will happen until it improves or worsens. Nobody knows. There are a plenty of cases with different lions that have improving a lot with the injured legs.
