So many threats to their well-being whether it’s hunting injuries, diseases, snares more so on the North side of his territory going into Manyeleti but a snake bite might be what finishes him off, you couldn’t have guessed it. Remember having the same train of thought after Dark Mane died from buffalo after surviving for as long as he did, and then when it’s finally looking promising he dies, tragic. The Talamati breakaway subadults haven’t been in the best condition recently, especially as the lone lioness has spent some time away so S8 would be a big loss, he’s a fighter tho so if it can be beaten, I believe he will.

Why is the lioness away from the subs??  Aren't 2 or 3 of them her own offspring?  Is she abandoning them already?  I hope she's also not sick!  It's weird how 2/3 lionesses suddenly get sick and die, plus now possibly S8, and maybe the last adult?!

This is the same lioness who was said to have been snared and ever since then, I don’t think she’s been seen with all 5 subs together. She was just with one of the subs and S8 around a week ago. No chance she’s abandoned them, infact it’s possible she was actually snared while heading into Manyeleti looking for a source of food. Reply
