So he overtook carcass from 1 of Nwaswitshakas? Brave and dangerous move in their territory..

Odd. Darkmane isnt the most confident and strongest lion himself. I wonder how healthy Gore really is to bow out like that.

I assume it was a case of a starving lion against a lion who's already had his fill. No need for a confrontation

Maybe one of the reasons, other than filling his tummy, Gore just didn't want to fight due to his stomach injury.

Yea, if DM is very hungry, he wont back down against 1 male, but he is playing with fire in a territory of 4 males.

This old girl has shown such amazing fight and resiliency.   Makes me smile every time I get to see her.

She hasn't moved in 24 hours now. She wakes up occasionally and looks around before going back to sleep.

That's concerning if she really is in that exact same spot the whole time. One would expect her to seek out shade or relieve herself eventually.
I assume she is still doing that?

I feel like this behavior is like that she has given up and ready to die. Many lions remain in the same spot for days before dying
