the fight was only between Mohawk avoca and Nk young male, mangheni male runaway and Blondie avoca do not interfere. 

words from elephants plains lodge:

"We were radioed by the gate guards who witnessed the fight. Acting swiftly we arrived at the gate and we found the young Nkuhuma covered in blood which mostly looked like the Avoca blood and a couple hundred meters away the two Avoca males. Only the Mohawk male covered in blood with the other male not a scratch on him... although the young Nkuhuma male was not bleeding as much he was seen the next day with a bit of a limp and looking quite sore. We presume that the Avoca male might have had the Nkuhuma pinned down and the young male while pinned down managed to land a few blows to the face...The tongue of the Avoca had a serious gash, looking like he may have bit through his tongue in the altercation so a lot of blood seen around the mouth and the legs were from that injury. "   

Nope. There was more fights.  With Dark maned avoca involved. 

Quote:Hi everyone, a few days back I shared a summary by Jors Dannhauser of the events on Buffelshoek involving the Nkuhumas, two Avoca Males, the Talamati Males, and Mhangeni Male and Nkuhuma Male. However, I need to correct myself on something as I misunderstood Jors. The Avoca Male the two young males fought was not the Orange-Eyed Male as I initially said, but the DARK-MANED Male (shown below in a photo kindly shared by Jors). The Orange-Eyed Male was in the sighting but only going back and reading did I realize that I misunderstood some details in the summary. When the Talamati Pride showed up and the chaos ensued, the Orange-Eyed Male chased after the Nkuhumas, which could explain why the two young males were left to fight the Dark-maned Male. The photo below is the aftermath of the fight between the DMM and the two young males.

Another BIG thanks to Jors for the photo and my apologies for the previous error!

And from this fight Dark mane avoca has a big scar on his lips Reply
