There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The description of the video said that K6 probably fight Styx Male as per the guide says, but this would be impossible as K6 was in North when this happened and Styx Male is further south of K6 location. Also looking from the injury, it seems like a 2v1 fight.

It would be more plausible if it's the other 3 brothers that have fought Styx Male as the Styx Male roams Umkumbe area and the other 3 is on their way south on that date.

 Hi I am trying to understand the post. In the picture is it K6 or the Styxt male lions? It looks like K6. Did Styxt male lions also have injuries?

Yeah, I would bet that K6 was attacked by two males. There is rarely head injuries and rear injuries like this, in a 1v1.

No idea, good thing looks like K4 is moving in that direction.

Looking at his body right now (except his leg injury), it would seem he did not have a life-threatening injury this past month. Really astonished on how wild animals recover from injuries and what a beautiful mane K4 has.

Flesh wounds recovered but seems he was bitten into the bone, that’s why he is walking like that.

Unfortunately a permanent limp will probably be a thing.

Too early to know, its only ~ 1.5 months since injury, lets wait few months more when wound fully heals.

Yeah, this will improve but too early to know if he fully recovers.

If true, these boys are my favourite coalition to watch by far... they are so random so out of pocket, one day doing something very logical, the other doing Kambula things
they are not clueless, they know that theres vacant prides, easy territory, and they have atleast double the numbers on every coalition they´ve encounter so far
I can understand that they may not want to be dominant males atleast yet and still prefer to roam around doing what makes them happy
But out of all places from almost Timbavati to Skukuza and beyond do they choose to roar in the single place where theres a larger coalition than them
It´s like going to a 5 star michellin restaurant and start chewing on the decoration roses 
My theory is that they like to go around the territory of other coalitions and jump scare them a bit with their numbers only to leave them when they had their fun
The Kambulas are literaly playing ding dong ditch prank with other males, and ofcourse sometimes you get caught on that
