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?

They both had a difficult life of survive.
The young Birmingham male (Osindile) had more than 3 altercations with the Ross males and he didn't abandoned the Birmingham pride. Even the Ngala rangers were doubting how long he will survive with that nasty injury and look at now he walk extremely well.

The Nkuhuma young male had a very hard life too. With the arrival of the N. Avoca males in the northern area of Sabi Sands. That must have been very difficult for him. Especially due his very young age he was just 2 years old and It's extremely hard survive the nomadic life at that stage. However he did it!
I think I can't choose which one of them had the more hardest life because both of them had a similar life. Reply
