Avoca male lions

[Potato]

I am not 100% sure, but it definitelly looks to be Blondie Avoca.

On the 24th of January, our Northern #conservationofficer found an adult #malelion  that appeared to have a bullet wound above its ear. After the #veterinary #intervention , it was found that, fortunately, it was a deep claw wound from fighting with another male lion. We wouldn’t usually treat an animal with a natural injury (as stated in our current Management Plan below), but because of the appearance of a possible anthropogenic injury, we intervened, and it turned out to be of a natural cause. We are happy with the outcome, and the animal is doing well.

“SSW Protected Area will at all times aim to achieve minimal management interference with regards to its existing wildlife populations. Exceptions will only be made when, through anthropogenic interference, the wellbeing of indigenous wildlife species are threatened.”
