He walked from Ngala to Manyeleti, isn't limping and has some mass left. Generally it's the back injuries that kills, facial and head injuries rarely results in death, if his belly injury isn't that deep he may end up surviving.

It's also weird that, although he has that belly injury, most of his injuries are in the face and head, generally when lions are caught 2v1 they barely get facial injuries, if any, their hindlimbs and back are what takes the brunt of the damage.

I wonder if Mandevu was 1v1 for most of the fight while the second male was away, possibly chasing Nzuri?

I think it was likely 2 males on him from the start, cos with injuries like that, no matter how serious, it wouldn’t have taken long to inflict. It’s hard to imagine a scenario where either one of the Mbiris / Mongawanes does all the damage to his head and the second male doesn’t come in to finish him, getting his ‘fill’ of the action.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the coalition lost focus on him due to the presence of Nzuri or whoever was around at the time, not necessarily Nzuri fighting them off him, but rather the same males choosing to pursue him instead. Reply
