A worthy name for the young male who had to survive the Ross Males and his leg injury that nearly killed him. Down south, in Sabi Sands, the Nkuhuma Young Male also had to face his own hardships and had to survive. He was also forced to face dominant male lions and on occasion, had to fight them to survive. He lost his mother and partner and had to look after himself for almost a year. The stress led to him losing condition and his mane until he found the Styx Pride. He is also a true Survivor of the bush. Both Males have similar stories and are similar in age but in your opinion, who had a much harsher life they had to survive through?

To this point, I'd have to say that the Nkuhuma male has had a rougher go of it so far, simply due to BYM having not even been run out of the pride yet. BYM, is a lion I try to follow closely, and one that I am really pulling for, but everything Nkuhuma has dealt with to this point, given his older age, certainly appears that he has had a rougher go. 

Who gave BYM this name? This is the first I have heard of it. It fits, but it could fit for countless others as well. Reply
