If you look at Shizanani, Nsuku, the Sumatra male, Monawana male… they all get this black mark on that hip bone. And then overtime that leg just completely deteriorates. They start to limp and can’t walk on that leg. Not everyone experiences it as bad… some still hang in there for a while.

I first taught thats TB, but its not, maybe is related to TB idk.. 

I was searching whole internet, what that thing is, with 0 success..

My conclusion is that this is some kind flesh eating bacteria, why it affects on hip? I have no idea.. I also have no idea why affects only male lions, i didn't see 1 female with that..

It seems that some lions dont affect, Scar Mbiri has that for years, also 5th Mpondo and Snip Tail Mpondo, both didn't get affected..

That thing kills more lions then TB..

Just on top of my head : Hip Scar, Sizanani, Nsuku, Buddy, Talamati DeLaporte, last Avoca/Giraffe, 1 of Shishangaans, 1 of Shishangenis etc..

And many who are still alive but have that like Sumatra, Limper Tumbela, Wide Nose Nwaswitshaka, oldest  Renosterkoppies male, Monwana male and Skorokoro Nharhu male. I also think that Lambile Tintswalo males is starting to develop that.. 

Some of them still dont have that black dot, but limping at young age without any visiable injuries is prob sign of that.. 

For example on BYM male, you clearly see he has injured leg. 

This is really a problem..

I'm very sure it's just hip dysplasia, explains why some lions with that injury can live for years while others completely lose use of that leg. If it's a really severe case of hip dysplasia, the leg is gone very quickly. And since they can't use that leg because of the pain, they end up under utilizing that leg which causes all the muscle to atrophy. Reply
