Also, on a different subject, the second Styx male is alive and well, both of them got chased away by the Birmingham males, who didn't pay any attention to the herd of buffalos, their intent was to hunt down the Styx males, but they got away. The info is from Nkorho Rangers.

From Londolozi Game Reserve, 5 Days Back on The Road by James Tyrrell:
"We came over a rise in the deep south-west one morning, on a road that is almost never driven, at pretty much the farthest point on the map from the Londolozi camps, and there were the three Talamati males on a buffalo kill. Although they were very well fed and inactive as a result, this was still a wildly exciting moment for me and Rich, as neither of us had ever seen this young coalition before."  *This image is copyright of its original author From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "After finding the three young Talamati Males last night, we followed the intrepid trio for quite a while until they evaded us by crossing through an impassable drainage line."  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
The Toulon male was found dead today. Im finding details and will tell asap
The 5 Mantimahle males attacked one of the Toulon males(Dominant Toulon) yesterday. He had spinal injuries and deep cuts to his body. Rangers found his body in Lion Sands KNP. I will post more updates once i get them. Sad news.
Sad news indeed, keep us updated.

Early this afternoon I returned to the airport to to a pick-up and spoke to some of the Lion-Sand guides, and was told that the roaring I heard this morning was actually these 5 males fighting one of the Toulon males (Sand-river pride males). They nearly killed him and left him, where he is suffering badly from injuries... These 5 beautiful males actually traveled some distance in the last couple of days as I saw them about 4days ago near Jones's dam on the S36. We can just hope that we will see more of them around skukuza in the future ..." #MantimahleMales #coalition #KnpLions #BigMales #SkukuzaAirport  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Sun Destinations from Umkumbe Safari Lodge:
"Over the weekend, the three sub-adult Talamati males killed 2 zebra and fed on both kills for most of the day. They killed an adult and its foal - a two course dinner!"  *This image is copyright of its original author "Rangers returned to the kill site the following morning to catch a glimpse of the young Talamati's enjoying a feast. This is one of the sub-adult Talamati males smothered in the remnants of his meal! They weren't there but in their place were two of the Charleston's males, trying to strip what was left of the carcass. Lions cane be rather opportunistic when it cames to sourcing prey!"  *This image is copyright of its original author "One of the Talamati males relaxing after gorging himself on a meal. When the Talamati males moved off from the kill and the Charleston's moved in, they began to scent mark the surrounding bushes. They hyenas were also waiting in the wings for signs of food scraps!"  *This image is copyright of its original author
I believe humans should intervene and help animals no matter how the injury has been inflicted.
I like the Mara vets who took care of Siena's grave injury and save her life back in April 2014 |
