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.

He probably put up enough of a fight that finishing him off, or not inflicting more damage, just wasn't worth it for the males (most likely the Mantimahle males) that attacked him. Steve was concerned about the tendon/muscle damage, which might be permanent.
True. Wide Nose had a far not so nasty looking injury to his rear leg but it got better of him eventually. His leg was twisted by his attackers, not so much mauled like here. Because of that, it seriously hindered WN’s movement. So can’t judge by the initial days looks. No serious predictions from here, only gut feeling.. K4 may be will survive this.
