To their credit, each time they have managed to escape and recover from their injuries but I think it’s reasonable to say at this point that’s probably more down to luck than judgement. From what I remember these are the instances we know about unless I have forgotten any please feel free to add them;

- K3 & Gijimas
- K6 & Gijimas
- K5 & PCM’s
- K5 & Red Road
- K4 & Mantimahle
- K6 & Unknown

K5 had few more.

1 time before his PCM fight, around early 2024 or late 2023, seen with bite marks on his back, and 1 time not long ago, although minor one (some of those might not be necessary from other territorial males tho).

I think K5 had most fights/mauling out of them, might be reason why he currently behaves like he does.

Problem now is that with all this lost clashes, their confidence in each others, and trust, might be hard to reestablish (it was not great in the first place).

I noticed a while ago (sometime not long after their clashes with the S.BDMs) that K4 had scars on his back, indicating he might have been caught by multiple males, which was odd because at the time he was the only one thought not to have been caught and given a beating by two males. I always wondered if maybe he had been caught by the two S.BDMs, but just like when they caught Amahle, they didn't do any serious damage. Obviously I can only speculate as there was never any evidence of that, but that would be another instance. Reply
