I didnt notice much limping too, but from what i can see most of them have some skinny hindquarters, just like Nkhulus. 
Im not entirely sure but it looks like a a snip tail in the last male at the second part of the footage.

Glad the 6 Nkhulus are keeping themselves fairly well, but yeah i think it was too much for a old bruised fella like Dreadlocks. 
He was mauled by Avocas in 2023 and then when looked recovered except for a limp, started losing condition along with the other males. 

Nkhulus should be able to thrive with or without him, six males can hold that area they are rn without much trouble... At least we hope so. Reply
