That young Xikutsu boy looks like he's been scrapping! Tough coalition the Xikutsus and Mopoza!

Both Xikukutsus were recently seen with slight injures to the front of body and Mopoza was seen heavly scared on his face. Competition inside that coalition over mating rights in Monwana pride must be tough.
The always imposing Mapoza male looking tough as ever!

The #blackdammale in the most amazing late afternoon light a few years ago on a photographic safari at @royalmalewane in South Africa. This male was killed earlier this year, by his own sons, who needed to oust this guy to secure a territory of their own, with access to their own pride of #lions.

So are people forgeting that he was gored by buffalo or what?

To be honest I was been thinking the same. The first source that I have get a couple of months ago was that the BDM has died after of being gored by the buffalo and later he was seen crossing the Monwana river bleeding a lot (11-23-2020, 01:48 AM)Potato Wrote: The #blackdammale in the most amazing late afternoon light a few years ago on a photographic safari at @royalmalewane in South Africa.

A great portrait of this handsome beast. He died very soon tbh. He was in very good shape and by far one of the biggest lions who ever walked the Timbavati in recent times. I'm glad that he left a lot of legacy through the Monwana and Giraffe prides.

One of the Machaton males took a break from courting a lioness to assess his surroundings at Ndzuti Safari Camp. They’re getting older but still a force to be reckoned with in the Balule area. Photo credit to: Kyle Hampson
Such a powerful scene watching and listening to a territorial male lion roaring determinedly in the direction of another male. This is the Ross male heading to the eastern boundary in answer to an orpen male calling.

"So are people forgeting that he was gored by buffalo or what?"
I do not think it really matters if it the end he was finished by Monwana males after being gorged, or died from injury caused by buffalo itself. "This is the Ross male heading to the eastern boundary in answer to an orpen male calling." Orpen males should be way down south around Tintswalo logde were lay core of Mbiri pride territory. I wonder if those are indeed Orpen's males calls or maybe older Mbiris or even younger Mbiris with Nharu getting bolder.
