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.

Both look sore, but should recover relatively quickly from that.
Question is what exactly happened that neither of 2 males didnt get killed or more badly mauled, as both where definetly caught by 2 males based if injuries.
So either other Kambulas intervened and didnt just run away, or, minding that Kambulas prob didnt challenge neither of Gijimas or PCMs, it was just a message from them towards Kambulas to stop hanging in/near their territory.
I hope Kambulas got that message and will start moving north towards K4 and finally establish themselves there with NKs.
Exactly what I was thinking about all of this. As we are all well aware, Gijimas and PCMs are capable of dishing out terrible maulings, and even killing other lions. That these two have what may be, relatively speaking, minor injuries, implies, to me, that one or more of the other may have intervened. Without witnesses to the attacks, we will never know, but in both instances something stopped the attacking males from doing a lot more damage.
