Here it is..

I was hoping it’d go more into depth but it’s still very speculative, seems it’s a report from the initial altercation and wasn’t updated after too, with them mentioning how there’s still a female cub remaining.

Seen in Sabi Sabi this time, Khanya also present. They killed two calves and an old female buffalo in a single hunt

Going by these reports, S.Avoca & Kruger attacked Tsalalas, maybe only one PCM showed up and got chased off? Or was that a different occasion where 1/2 PCM was seen getting chased?

Regardless, at some point the PCM probably regrouped and launched a counter attack that split their enemies and left the Kruger male with that minor wound to his hip.

this two are some of the most impressive males in Sabi Sands. 
Them and Plains Camp, and they are half brothers lol 
Amazing genes of the Mantimahle coalition. Nkuhlu males could be as impressive if not for whatever affected them during this year.

Dont think there is any space for them in the reserve of Sabi Sands unfortunately... It would be great if they tried their luck in Manyeleti, but Nkuhuma is in love with western / southern Sabi Sands, doesn't look like they intend to go north anytime soon so its unlikely for such to happen so far. But lets see, as nomads they can move around alot, i really think Manyeleti could be great for a rising coalition like them.

No sightings of him since around beginning of 2022, prob due to old age.

Not sure if the Instagram code works, but basically a Gijima male was seen being chased by three males, I'm assuming it was the Nkhulus. I'm used to seeing the Gijima males being fearless, aggressive, and dominant, so this is slightly troubling to hear about but hopefully they continue to protect their three prides.

The link doesn't work but I think I know the video u referring to, doesn't show the actual chase, but LM Gijima looking a lil skittish and the photographer mentioned he was being chased by 3 males. To be completely honest this was always going to happen, the only reason 3/4 Nkhulus ran from him before was due to multiple reasons - they were in Gijima territory and both Gijimas were present. DM Gijima was ofc quite a bit behind compared to LM who was right on their tails, but he was close enough to the point all Nkhulus would have taken him into consideration and made up their mind to run. Different from Majingilanes being chased off by KT, but suddenly turning around as they didn't notice Mr T's presence. I'd guess this time both Gijimas were split up and despite how impressive LM Gijima has been, he's never running off 3 territorial neighbours alone, that's impossible for any male lion to do.

The video mentioned, this must have happened around the same time as the last video too.

I know K12 left Floppy Ear.  I am just hopeful that she finds a place.

I know this is a bit different from the usual posts and I’m not exactly sure if it’s allowed, if it isn’t then mods feel free to delete. Cedric from WildEarth just announced that he’s going to be leaving which is a shame considering he was by far the best ranger for me, both in terms of his own personality and knowledge of lions, and lion dynamics as a whole. Very big loss for them and Sabi Sands as a whole, I’d hope he still stays visiting regularly.

By far my favorite ranger as well, that's sad to see him leaving. Great sightings with him always, he is literally a magnet for lions and leopards. His love and excitement for animals can be felt through the screen. Hopefully he comes back as a permanent member one day.

I fixed your post, my friend. I am not sure exactly how you put that "code" in your post, but in order to embed Instagram links into your posts, you just need to simply type, or copy and paste, the following:
