I have never seen blondie bulky but he's definitely suffering from something. His hips are always sticking out and very recently even his ribs are sticking out a little. I think it could be TB since his condition isn't improving despite not having any obvious injuries, he's just overall in not great shape.

Something is definitely there, the same condition can be seen from Scar Tumbela male, they just can't put up the weight it seems..and its not because of the lack of food, because their coalition brothers are in very good condition (Mohawk and Scorro Jr.). 

Now, is it TB or something else, we dont know..

3 younger Nkuhuma females, with which he mated recently in Arathusa, where also seen entering Djuma this morning, and they are very close to him atm.. So this big boy might have another shot in mating with them.

It looks like, Blondie hasn't been seen mating with none of those lionesses, it looks like he prefers to stay close to Nkuhumas, while Mohawk is more of adventures type.

Dark Mane is in Elephant Plains, calling back and forth with his brothers. Guess he's trying to meet with them again?

Might be, this guy was just few days ago in Manyeleti with Talamatis, he is very active these days, especially for a limping lion.
