This is something I brought up in another post but I'm starting to believe that lions are able to do a lot more hunting, even through injuries, than we give them credit for. Basically if BYM can sneak up on a prey he will just need to use brute force to bring it down. He can also dig warthogs out of their burrow. It's rutting season which means all the impalas are really distracted and easy picking. And of course scavenge from other animals. 

BYM's biggest problem, like big boy mhangeni, is that he gets lonely. He's one of those males that really wants a family unlike Red Road, Ndhuna, DM Avoca who didn't mind wandering around alone. Even his half brother from the Breakaway pride moved off without much resistance so I think it's more than his injury at this point.. and hopefully this give him the confidence to be off on his own. 

I truly do hope you are right @Gijima , Big Boy is one of the saddest stories in recent memory. But, he was able to find a partner, and he introduced him to the Nkuhuma pride, so I am by no means giving up on him. He is resilient, of nothing else. Reply
