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.

Also guide said they couldn't locate him again so I assume he must have been able to walk away in the end.
What it comes to terrytorial future of Red Road if he survives then I do not see it so bad. Even if Tintswalo males will push him out, he will have possiblitys to shift towards Imbali or towards southern Manyeleti. It is not like young, strong coalitions are all around him.
He looked terrible though, I have seen lions die from less severe injuries. Red road and most lions probably won't get that lucky. Imagine a Darkmane/Redroad coalition though, that would be amazing to see.
