I'm getting it from my eyes, by looking at recent pictures of him and comparing them at pictures of him from the past. Him not being as bulky as the 
healthy 2 N'was doesn't mean he can't be thinnier than he usually is, I never said that Ubuso isn't healhty because he's not bulky as the 2 others, don't put words in my mouth.

"Lets not start another narrative that 2 N'ws are "dying" because they are "apperantly" skinnier then usual (althrough recent photos are not good to even judge that). "
I'm not starting a narrative of 2 N'was dying, I'm just stating a fact: 2 of them aren't as healthy as they were in the past and are falling behind their healthy brothers. If for you recent photos aren't good to jugde that then what about the people taking the pictures of Gore and saying his condition isn't good for weeks now ? Are they lying ? And again, don't put words in my mouth, I never said said they were dying ,just not healhty.

"This is wild, lions dont get food on regular basis, all lions have their "up and downs" / "bulky and skinny" phase's."
Healthy prime lions don't go through those" down periods" on regular basis, have you ever seen the 2 healthy N'was in that state ??

"Same goes for comments about DM Avoca, because he was seen "skinnier" then usually, ofc he will be skinnier if he doesnt eat for few days (for whatever reason).. "
DM has been skinnier for several weeks now, not just a few days, when a lion isn't in a healthy condition for several weeks it's normal that people start talking.

"So lets not overreact if some lion is seen more "thin" sometimes, thats normal if its not prolonged."
Let's not dowplay the condition of some lions, not being healthy for weeks isn't normal, if the people who took pictures of gore are saying he isn't in a good condition, that his wound is looking worse then that's the thruth, you're not in position to contradict them since you're not on the field like they are.

All i wanted to say that from those recent photos of Ubuso i dont see that he is in worse condition then usually, heck, on those most recent pictures, we dont even see his body, mostly face. 

Recent photo of his body, he looks like he usually does:

Well ofc those 2 N'ws are not 100% healthy (unlike Amahle/OE), but thats how it is for 2 years now, so no need for that narrative now, you are saying like its some new news.. 

They are always limping and falling behind their 2 brothers, its like that since they came in Sabi Sands, they are sometimes in better condition, sometimes in worse (scroll thru their pictures in the past 2 years), but they will never be 100% healthy again (Gore stomach injury, Ubuso limping on 2 legs). 

Healthy lions also have their "down" phases, when they dont eat for many days (mating, patroling, whatever) , but its not that noticeable, because they are healthy, have more mass, are more bulkier/muscular, so their condition deteoriate slower then on those skinnier/less healthy ones (good example is Blondie vs Mohawk).
