That injury looks gruesome. How did she get injured?
Hunting mishap if I recall correctly. Injury happened back in mid to late August, she ought to be fully healed up by now as I posted an update on her earlier this month. Post is on page 50 #746, I believe.
Guessing it was done by a warthog and its sharp tusks got her good. The cut is pretty clean across. It’s a large open spot where her skin is gone but seems like she’s keeping it clean and it’s not infected. Her body condition is good and hopefully the lionesses can hunt and get some food for the cubs and family.
