When they left the pride, he was the oldest, most developed of the lot, my guess would be something else has happened to him, perhaps illness, perhaps injury. They are now saying he has a mangled leg, which I had not heard earlier, so no telling if this is a new injury, or the cause of his decline.

Here’s a pic from about 9 months or so back.  You can sort of (bit that well) see how his leg was starting to lose muscle.  Sorry I don’t have credit for picture

Wow, yeah, it is clearly atrophied for sure. I had no idea he'd been this bad for this long, so, whatever is going on with him, his struggle has been going on for an extended period. To me, that seems to point to this being an illness or something of the sort. If it was brought about due to his leg, I don't know he'd have lingered about in the brutal bush for this long. There was a time when he was about equally as impressive as BYM, before either of them left their prides. Possibly TB, given how it seems to always affect the legs. Reply
