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.

I feel like Lambile will be the first to perish within the remaining three, because in the Majingilane coalition everybody knew hip scar was going to die first as he was the "loner" in the coalition. This case seems to be pretty similar.

That's very hard to predict it. Of course, the limp can slow him down at the time of fight for territory or mating rights. Also, he'll the least dominant of the three. Only time will tell what will happens with Lambile. Will be a joy follow the journey of the Tintswalo males. Their rising and fall

Hip-scar was carrying a hip injury in later years that made him more of a loner and the same injury also was the cause of his somewhat early death, not the fact that he was a loner. So I don't quite see your logic here.

it is practically impossible to predict, even in cases of more isolated or injured lions, for example Nharhu and monwana are two cases that had healthy lions and others with problems but who ended up succumbing were those who were totally healthy.

"We had this sighting on the S125 close to Hamiltons Camp, in Kruger National Park, on 6 August 2021. There were 5 lionesses and 3 cubs in total."

If I not mistaken, Brutus was born in 2007/8. Therefore in 2017 he was around 10 to 9 years old. No certainly in his prime, but not enough old for a male lion of such an strong bloodline as Brutus. In he second image he was around 12 to 13 years old. So, makes sense that his condition will deteriorated fast and he'll look in that shape. Age has caught him up

I thought he was born later. Isn’t this him in 2013 with the Avoca Pride? He looks quite young here:

All three Tintswalo males were seen this morning in Manyeleti. Lambile was found on his own. 
[15/8 10:51] 3:49 lumfan pan - western side of Khoka Moya. We left the camp and followed fresh tracks again.after 15 minutes we found him.
 He is alone at the moment. Not with Mandevu and not with Mchile. He is alone and kind of skinny.
