Lions of Sabi Sands

[Potato]

Days before the terrible fight between two male lions and Dreadlocks De La Porte, I found these two lions farther down on the Nkhulu road on the way from Skukuza, in the Kruger National Park. Are these the 2 Southern Avoca Male Lions? It would make perfect sense, as they were the one's who attacked Dreadlocks a couple of days ago, confirmed via video footage and reports. After watching the footage of the fight today, one can clearly see Male Lion Dreadlocks, in pain, with heavy blood loss from the abdominal area and what seems to be a badly broken back leg. The two Lions who attacked him, was roaring loudly while attacking and after, to make their presence known as they do during territory/coalition fights. It's the typical Lion fight video, with them circling Dreadlocks, who fends bravely like a true warrior. After the Nkhulu's killed a Sand River Pride Lioness in Sabi Sands and another lioness earlier, it was inevitable that they were coming for revenge, and Dreadlocks was first in line unfortunately. Is the fate sealed for the young Nkhulu males? How will they go on and prosper? Kruger National Park has had it's fair share of lions loss in the past week, let's really hope it calms down. Too many legends are falling.
