Shame about Buddy. Hope he's able to stick around for a bit longer. Very bad time for the TB to start affecting him so badly that he's losing condition. Hope the young Koppies cubs and any cubs that are born in the Mbiri pride will survive.

Its a hard road ahead for him to raise this cubs to adulthood as a lone male, but i think he can do it, he is a tough lion.. It certaintly helps that around him are too pretty much lone males,Orpen males with only Junior healthy north, DM Avoca south, and Imbali male east.. So he doesnt have to worry about his neighbors to overthrone him with superior numbers.. Only threat is coming from nomadic males to vander into his territory, but they would need to pass first thru this other males territories, so i think RRM is in pretty good situation to be as a lone male..

I ask because I have only found videos showing him already injured, and stating he has been with this limp for some time already. Looking back through the Painted Wolf YT channel, as they seem to feature him in their videos more than anyone else I have come across, all I find is videos after the injury. Do we know an approximate age on him, maybe who his actual parents are? The Ross males seem to be tolerating him far more than I would expect, especially since he is not one of theirs. He has a huge frame, and were it not for the injury, and given a chance to properly develop, I think he'd likely be massive.(08-20-2020, 10:44 PM)BA0701 Wrote: More of a reference to the fact that just a week or so ago they took over the Mbiris, and now this. That take over didn't involve any fighting, and with this being the case that is probably a good thing. I really had no idea it was this bad. With so many other limping lions being spoken about recently, like the young Birmingham male, makes me wonder how many of those are related to this terrible disease. He is really fortunate, however, that he is being tolerated so well, because were it not for the pride, and thanks to that injury, I believe his odds of flourishing would be greatly diminished, resilient though he may be. Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated, as always my friend, thank you!

I think about 4 months ago, they just found him like that one day and the guides suspected it was probably one of the ross males that bit him through his leg. The ross males had tried to kick him out multiple times and gave him a few pretty bad beatings but he kept coming back.

Persistent, I'll give him that, I only hope it doesn't lead to a really severe injury, or worse, at the claws of the Ross males. But, as it stands now, I don't think he could survive the nomadic life, in his current state. Thank you for explaining that to me my friend!!(08-23-2020, 10:44 AM)BA0701 Wrote:(08-20-2020, 10:48 PM)Tr1x24 Wrote: Yea but only Junior was seen with Mbiris, not Buddy..@Tr1x24 my friend, do we know much about the exact time of this injury on the young Birmingham male, and by whom it may have been caused?

His only chance is to join up with the 3 young males in the pride and leave with them in a year or so, the ross males seem to understand he isn't a threat and don't want to get injured trying to kill him cuz he won't go down easy. If he can hang around the pride till the 3 subadults reach the nomadic stage, he might just be alright. (08-23-2020, 12:33 PM)sik94 Wrote: He can't survive by himself for long as a nomad.

If he can hang around the pride till the 3 subadults reach the nomadic stage, he might just be alright. Idk if that can happen, age gap between him and younger males is around 2 yrs or so, those younger males will be atleast 1 more year in the pride, by that time his urge for mating will kick in and will try to mate with the females (i've seen him already try to hop on 1 of the females) and Ross males wont tolerate that.. I think he can survive on his own, its not going to be easy but i think he can, his limp is getting better, and i've seen him run around 1 month ago or so.. He can scavenge around and prob catch some less mobile pray by himself.. 
Limper KNP was doing fine with similar injury so I would not take chances from him completly althrough nomadic life with such injury would be very difficult. Also a lot depends where he decide to start his nomadic life. At the moment competition in Timbavati is hard and lone nomadic male with injured male might very well fall victim to dominant males in opposite to Manyeleti were he would have greater chances to survive.
Sad news I just read on the Timbavadi FB page. BDM died? Is this true? Very sad if so.
