Well really hate how the Talamatis and S8 had been treated when they really need help from humans especially the snared Talamati lioness and the TB for S8 and just let him die slowly they just go on like nothing happened and when there are tourist they somehow overpraise the reserve for helping the wildlife when really they are not.

If I remember correctly my friend, when they performed the autopsy on S8, it was determined that he had peritonitis, which in most cases is a fatal infection of all the internal organs. Reply

So TB is in all lions because of the infected buffalo they eat right? So if a lion gets hurt or injured and it doesn’t get better fast enough the TB will take over a weaken lions body and they’ll die, so is it anything they can do to fix that? I mean I know they can’t cure all the buffalo or whatever but it’s nothing they can do? Reply

The autopsy for S8 reported lesions on the lungs consistent with Bovine Tuberculosis and peritonitis brought about by a punctured intestine caused by a buffalo. Reply

You're right, S8 got several things. In that case, peritonitis will kill anything within a few days. For TB to kill will take longer. Therefore, it is very likely that peritonitis was one of the main reasons for his dead. Reply

From the Mantimahles thread: blonde Mantimahle currently in Djuma while dark maned is in Manyeleti Buffelshoek. So Mantimahles currenly are split and quite far from each other (7km tells my Google Maps). That should lower the chances for another encounter with K4 (or other Kambulas) in the coming days Reply

Ginger-maned Mantimahtle male on Sunset safari with three unconfirmed lionesses, potentially Imbalis, and they crossed north into Buffelshoek towards the end of the drive. He was limping slightly, possibly a souvenir from their fight with K4.

Looking like Makhunga in this last pic.

They seems to split a lot which is even better for bigger coalition, though Kambulas haven't capitalized on it yet. Reply
