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.

A bit surprising, I didn't think he'd die, his father had a similar but worse looking injury, was 12yo, took a second beating and still survived for a month.
After he dies, I truly don't expect the other 3 to be successful, although it's a weird thought since we're talking about 3 prime brothers in an area of smaller coalitions.
While, admittedly, it looks really bad for sure, and knowing he could surely pass from these injuries, I am not giving up on him yet, and most definitely not on his brothers, at this point. We have seen lions survive with what looked to be worse injuries, and at the same time we have all seen lions pass with no visible injuries, Big Boy for example, and possibly one of the most shocking lion deaths that I can recall. However, my biggest concern, right now, is that head wound continuing to leak. He might actually have a cracked skull, we might be seeing brain fluid leaking out, which would be the worst possible case scenario, and depending on the severity, would likely be fatal, on it's own. I have witnessed people with brain fluid leaking out of their ears, and survive, but that was with an enormous amount of medical assistance, and tremendous struggle.
