Injured Lion said to be the Blonde Ross Male (Fabio) seen today in a bad condition near Talamati Bush Camp.
So sad to see this iconic lion in this state. Fabio's and Tyson's legacy is going strong with the Birmingham Breakaway Males, Nephew, and the White Lion Xakubusa with his brother.
Do not know what happened to his neck/mane part in the 2nd photo it seems like it is scraped. Hoping for him to recover or a peaceful rest.

@sunless This news is truly breaking my heart. To see the legendary Ross Males in this condition is, for me, very sad. They are one of the most successful two male coalitions we might ever see, a real life ying/yang, total opposites in their behavior and attitude, but one could not exist without the other. Such is the way of life, and we can only be so thankful that we were able to witness so much of their lives, and will continue to be able to do so through their progeny, but, it is always sad to see any animal in this condition.

As for the scars on his neck, it seems, to me, that he may have been the victim of a snare, on top of everything else he is having to take on, at this moment of his life.

Any ideia who the young male might be?

People from other social medias are saying that it might be a Monwana. Reply
