Lions from Botswana
|
Collared male lion was killed by humans too. There’s no real info around this story, some ppl claim they straight up hunted the male, others say he prolly attacked their livestock and this was justified, don’t really wanna get into it especially with what’s been happening in the Mara recently.
I will say tho, many many males and females alike have disappeared in Botswana, sure some of it is partly cos there’s less documentation over there, but there’s also no doubt in my mind they’re also being slaughter by humans. Chobe and Nxai National Parks are real close to Hwange National Park, and anyone who’s familiar with Cecil’s story knows how bad that place is for poaching. 
@KM600 yeah the amount of poaching and trophy hunting in Hwange is ridiculous, even worse than in the Mara. Cecil is obviously the most famous and well documented case but there has been many more over the years, including Cecil’s son Xanda and Netsai, one of the two males who took over Cecil’s pride with his brother Humba. It’s a real bad situation over there and these are just a few examples there has been loads.
Sekoti on the 21st December, followed up by a photo of him with Romeo and Waziba on the same date. He was supposedly last seen on 3rd January in good condition.
Throwback to when the Renegades first went back into Marsh Pride territory but this time as dominant males. This was the first time they put a beating on Gaam and Tsunami.
The male closest to the camera in the first video is Pretty Boy II, he had a cut on his face most likely from mating rights, then the male front right is Waziba followed by Romeo, u can see the difference in bulkiness between Waziba and Romeo when they stand side by side. The video ends with Waziba by himself walking up to both Romeo and Pretty Boy II. Then obviously as u can see in the tweet below, Sekoti was trailing all of them. I heard these boys have been dominant since late 2021 / 2022.

It’s always been thought out of all the sons sired by Sekekama and TornNose or the Selinda boys altogether, Romeo is the one most resembling Sekekama, I certainly see it too.
Romeo yesterday showing dominance over one of his brothers, I think it may be Pretty Boy II but it’s an honest guess cos of the distance, him and Waziba are nearly replicates anyways despite not even being twins. 100% not Sekoti as his mane isn’t as long as Waziba and Pretty Boy II towards his back, it was also said he wasn’t seen at this sighting just yesterday.
Hassan also mentions something to what I said previously about Romeo looking to be more dominant, being the most active male in patrolling and being with the pride, atleast from what’s being seen, despite being slightly smaller than the others. Second and third videos are of Waziba.

So, it appears that Sekoti is healing up well, then, from his strange illness? Whatever became of Tsekedi?

Last Sekoti update was what I sent in here from December, still nobody knows if he’s alive, just that he was last seen in better condition. Tsekedi and his coalition partner(s) were last seen in 2021, between Moremi and Chobe as pride males.

Ah, thank you for that. I had thought, for some reason, that Tsekedi had been seen more recently than 2021. He was an impressive boy, and certainly didn't lack for courage. |
