What's your opinion ?

As I said before, in my opinion, theres 1% chance that Avocas attacked Wide Nose, as evidence show (Avocas seen next day far away and without fresh injuries/scars, which is impossible if they grabed 1 adult male, but all 3 N'ws with scars, Amahle limping, OE with blood on his face, Wide Nose scars, Kambula female with blood also, which indicates that they where all in fight.. Amahle seen chasing WideNose and female in the night, fight definitely happened between the 2 for a female, also injuries on Wide Nose would be much worse even if Avocas hold him only for 10 sec etc.) 

Bites in this areas in between coalitions or prides dont happen often but they happen, in the heat of a moment, and fight between 3 males for a female, its easly that 1 male bites Wide Nose from behind, just as someone bited Amahle, who looks to be worse then Wide Nosed injuries.

To me its clear fight over a female, unless they fight someone else, maybe Kambula subadults, or Bboys, but i doubt that. Reply
