 Quote:Around 1:33 you can see what appears to be a puncture wound on Hip Scar Those dark patches are simply mange or something like that, he's had that since forever, after all, the one he has in the hip is how he got his name.But no, right now he's not carrying wounds from territorial fights, although he gets sometimes in fights with his brothers. 
I was referring to the hole, top right of his tail. Mange is on his shoulder. If you zoom in you can see it clearly.

His injured back hip as you see has deteriorated further and it is a hindernisse to fight . If HS gets involved in a fight he will be critically injured, he better stay with the Othawa.

They are just walking if he was in poor condition I don't think he would be on patrolling with the bros the majigilanes understand the numbers game I don't think they would put them self at a disadvantage HS is in poor condition, see his back right hip, and his face. DM and SN are in good shape. Probably the others demand from HS to take part in patrols, instead of staying behind mating with the Othawas all day long. Lions do this, I have read a report saying that Makhulu wanted the other Mapogos to join him in patrols. 
Seriously, we clearly seen that HP is not in good condition. No use to deny it, even if he can still patroll with his brothers.

Not to belabor the point, but at exactly 1:42 there are clearly two punctures. The larger of the two I referenced above and the second is at roughly 4 o'clock to the right of it. Hip Scar may not have been involved in a fight recently, but he has clearly been bitten on his right hind hip during at some point in his lifetime.

The marks are quite recent, He did not have this bites a few weeks ago. They can't be from his brothers or from the Othawa Lionesses. see this video at 08:00 - 08:35, it is Hip Scar but those two punctures don't exist. it is a recent video but before their last trip in Elephant Plains, so there might be a fight with the Matimbas because one of the Matimbas had a small injury on his right front paw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0-cNvJ93zc

I think the most impressive male lion in the most impressive situation was this Majingilane. He and he brother were surrounded in a semi circle by 24 hyena. The lions were head deep in a buffalo kill and the hyena were slowly inching forward. Finally he had enough and stood up and gave them "the look" The sun was behind him and he presented himself looking incredibly powerful. The hyena wisely backed away.
