the Selati coalition

Interesting how Tb seems to go for generations on those lions.
Some of the initially 6 Rollercoaster males had Tb and succumbed to it & other complications of the harsh life in the bush. Then their sons oldest sons, the Golf Course, atleast one had Tb that eventually advanced a lot. Also Rollercoaster 2 younger sons, Cleo & Leo Sparta/Eyrefield. IIRC, Leo was usually in bad condition and died very young, could've been related to disease and deterioration but im honestly not sure. 

Then the Selati males, the male numbered #2 quickly lost mane and condition not even a year in power. Presumed to have been injured in his ribs by buffaloes. Always unstable condition, sometimes fine but most of the time thin, like Tb infected lions. Until eventually he deteriorated and was said to be finished by buffaloes. 

Then the Selati male #4, after some stress by nomadic life and multiple scuffles with Majingilane, he started limping alot during late 2014 - early 2015. 
Here he have what seems to be some bite wounds. December 2016, by Mariana de Klerk Photography
