Kambula/Ntsevu males

[Mapokser]

If K4 stays safe I think he'll survive, but not sure about fully recovering, that limp looks dangerous, it might be permanent.

His father died of a similar injury, IIRC even in the same leg, and given by sons of the Mantimahle males...

This is possibly the worst injury any of the 4 got so far and with K4 out of the game, at least for a while, I doubt the other 3 will establish themselves.

Issue with lions that are late bloomers like the Kambula is exactly this, at some point you run out of luck and gets badly injured, if they had matured earlier, more in line with the average lion that, as 4 strong, become fully territorial around 5yo, they wouldn't be in this situation, still it's not like they are "to blame" for how they are/develop.

I hope he makes a full recovery and becomes territorial with his brothers in the near future, though I always thought that if one of them dies, the other 3 wouldn't be able to be successful so losing K4, the most territorial of them, would be a huge blow to the coaltion. Reply
