I think he got caught out patrolling alone.  That was the previous footage we saw of him, alone and roaring confidently.  

The first time with the S. Avocas was just sheer bad luck, but this time, he made an error in judgement, I think.  I don't know why he sometimes goes off alone because he needs to take advantage of his coalition partners more.  It's likely that if he had had one or two partners with him, the damage would have been much less or non-existent.  Other coalitions can pick off a larger one if they can catch them alone like this.  

Hard to get an idea of the extent of the damage, but lions have recovered from some horrific attacks and survived a few years longer....  He should also sense that he's no longer in his prime and try to preserve himself.  

Never saw him in any mating scuffles...so probably got caught (and based on last vid. of him) Reply
