It seems too much to have been over mating rights and Nhenha was seen alone after the PCM chased his coalition out of the Western sector again so... Was the Nkuhuma male seen after that clash?

Nhenha and NYM were seen together today, see a video posted by @Tonpa in the Birmingham thread.

There’s been two sightings posted of Nkuhuma since.   Not saying they were taken afterwards as we know how these things go.

@Tonpa just posted a video of the Birminghams together in Mala Mala .   I’m waiting to hear from photographer as to when it was taken.

I am not sure if the photographer and the poster are one in the same, but the poster of that video, in the comments, said it was filmed today.

I honestly do not see such serious injuries on that PC male in the video you are referring to. Nhenha and NYM did much worse to each others faces in a fight over mating rights.

This video appears to be consistent with the sightings of Sassy, DM Avoca and others posted in other threads.

Really? In the video Nhenha attacks the NK male they barely touch each other and it lasts like 3 seconds.

I thought these were some considerable wounds, for a second it looked like he had lost an eye to me and and he even has scratches on his legs, with two more clear wounds:

Though if the Bboys are together and well it means no actual fight happened and the PCM were likely fighting over the Mangheni female.

Those wounds don't look fresh to me (yesterday or today), they may be from a few days ago and Nkuhuma just reunited with Nhenha today.

This was Nkuhuma's cut face, and Nhenha had an equally severe, if not worse, cut on his face, oddly on the same side.

Tsalala in Mala Mala slides 3 and beyond 


“The lioness was on her own—unusual for a female lion, but her mother and brother were both killed some time ago. Hopefully she will mate with another lion and join a pride that way”

She is so gorgeous. Sending my positive vibes for her to find friends.

WARNING:  Graphic scene 

Very morbid video.  Makes me wonder which of our lions this was ? 


“Every now and then we come across the most unusual sightings ?

Resident photographer Ross Couper was out one afternoon and he came across some hyenas that were behaving rather strangely around a watering hole. They appeared to be hunting for something under the water so he decided to simply sit and observe them. Then something really, really strange happened.

Swipe to see how this scene unfolded. Warning: Not for sensitive viewers.

They said it is from last month, so its most likely 1 of Othawa subs, as we can see, that is not fully grown lion, and Othawas lost 2 subs not long ago.

From what I saw at zoos, hyenas do occasionally store food underwater. So thats probably how it ended up there.

Folks are saying its the male, but I think there isn't enough left for such a specific identification. Though one of the Othawas is likely.
