If this is Nhenha, he has a limp, I messaged the author and about his condition and he replied "Looks like he has a bit of a limp and one or two new scars on the bridge of his nose but nothing serious."


Guessing they broke Othawa males spine pretty quickly and then left him

Definitely he has a limp in front pawn/leg, and if fight happened 3 night ago , its already healing..

Few whisker still visiable on carcass, its definitely Othawa male unfortunately :

Mhangeni pride now is in their third night without OM. Surely, the lionesses there must be by now wondering where he is, sadly..

Its sad.. But the pride life will go on as normal without him. We probably wont notice until other males show up.

"We received news a couple days ago that the Othawa male had crossed onto MalaMala near Princess Alice Pans. He was reportedly moving with purpose... into the core of the Gowrie males’ territory. It would appear that he severely underestimated his enemies. News came in today that the mangled remains of a male lion were found on Londolozi, just west of Princess Alice Pans and a dental comparison seems to confirm that it was the Othawa male. We viewed the younger of the Gowrie males with the Kambula pride today and he does have a few new superficial cuts and bruises."

I guess it sounds like a pretty straight forward case then. 

Nguvu went on one of his tail chasing incursions and embolded by his earlier successes and lack of a response he went in deeper than ever. 
He then was ambushed by one or more of the BBoys. Nhena either attacked the front and suffered most of Nguvus defense while Tinyo quickly snapped his spine. Or Nhena overpowered him and managed to snap the spine on his own.. After that it would have been a matter of attacking his hindquarters until the damage became large enough for him to pass of blood loss or leaving him for the Hyenas to finish...

As for Mohawk. 


Lion warfare has always been mostly mindgames over unclearly defined assets. 

I guess the Avoca did something to spook Nhena that Nguvu didnt. Or Nhena was not into that particular lioness. 
But most likely Nguvu just went in far to deep in the core of their territory. Reply
