Mandevu was extremely lucky to have injuries that minor considering the position RRM had him in.(09-12-2023, 02:06 PM)Tr1x24 Wrote: Why would be too serious? Lion teeths and claw can do serious damage.

S8 has a much bigger hole in his head. This what you posted is more likely from horn.

It was just example on you statement that S8 injury is "too seriuos" for lion fight, while Mfumo almost lost an eye and had huge gash in a mating right fight, with his brother. Lions can easily rip each others face off.  *This image is copyright of its original author Same pattern as S8 injury, just S8 is more deeper and over the eye. Watch more closely s8 injury, he has gash beneath his eye aswell, if that was horn, it would pierce his eye out. And he has cut over 2nd eye aswell.  *This image is copyright of its original author Lions bite and then pull/rip, like pitbulls, thats how you get injury like this and not just a hole.
Just want to add aswell that the fight was confirmed either cos it was witnessed or either male had crossed their territory into the others and ppl have assumed they met. Makes much more sense for this injury to be directly from RRM as I mentioned previously not only cos of the way he fights but even if that was from a horn or whatever, that would mean that S8 had pretty much no other/extremely minor injuries from his fight with RRM. Minor/no injuries at all would mean he dominated the fight and RRM should have injuries to a higher extent unless he run off which that in itself is very unlikely, not sure if all that made sense to u lot but that’s my pov.

Lol, you're right. However, with the evidence of the white BYM presented by my friend @Tr1x24 and hearing the ranger saying it was "fight with another lion", it is very likely that S8 fought another lion and got injured.

Agreed, after all that has been said, I def think this was another lion, but who and how that came to be are now the questions. Like, was it an invasion, did someone just happen to move through an area controlled by someone else after having been pushed by other outside influences, like another pride, so many unknowns currently, but I do think it was another lion. 
Looks like a tooth injury to me,rr probably locked on then looks like the tooth dragged down s8's head

It's obvious it was caused by another lion.The biggest wound above his left eye by itself is bad enough but is obviously overshadowed by the wound about his right eye. Let’s just say he’s not gonna try his luck with RRM again if it was indeed him and he’s certainly not gonna challenge both BDMs for some time, you could argue BDMs best chance at taking over a pride would now be the Talamati breakaways now this situation has unfolded.

If it was RRM, then he has shown a penchant for biting the top of the head, which, when you think about it, is a really smart move. That biggest wound, above his right eye, looks nearly identical to Scarface Musketeer's wound. In Scar's case, that thing never would fully heal, and required a lot of veterinary attention over the years, which S8 will obviously not be getting. |
