Tanda Tula update

Wait, so BDM was injured by the buffalo, but killed by the Monwana males the next day? I was of the impression that he had been gored by the buffalo, saw that the pride was able to eat, slumped off into the brush and died. @"TinoArmando" did the mentioned video ever get posted? Thank you for this update, it completely changes my understanding of what happened, and for me anyhow, it makes the events that unfolded that much more tragic.

I'm a bit confused.
Because two reliable sources have send a different statement

I truly hope we are able to get to the truth of what happened, hopefully sooner rather than later. Reply
