There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future.

The Black Dam males launched an attack on Mapoza and the pride while they were attempting to take down a buffalo. One of his sons was caught and suffered injuries to his spine and genitals. Not sure of the severity of the injuries.

It is very odd, and impossible to see, as the camera panned away. but it looks like it may be a young male hanging onto the face of that buffalo. The camera follows the running lions, but the guide on the front of the truck points back at where the buffalo is, implying something is happening there. When the camera pans back, the lion is no longer hanging onto the buffalo, the buffalo looks around as if saying "WTF?!", and begins walking away, but you can see the legs of the lion that was holding it, now laying still, and moving slowly.
I do not know if that was the same male that was caught, or even know for a fact that was a male, but if that is, that has got the be the fastest mauling in history.

Thats Mapoza on the buffalo, BDMs miss him.
He sure was slow moving, after letting go of that buffalo. There's stealth, and then there's Mapoza stealth, a fantastic strategy! All kidding aside, I really hope the young male is not too badly injured. Those N BDMs work really well together, I wish their younger bros did as well.

Hope you won’t suffer much longer my boy
WARNING: Sensitive in Nature
When his brother died, many were shocked, believing surely this boy would have been the first of them to pass. To watch his struggles from afar, one can't help but wish for his successes, now he is nearing the end, and still his story touches us. Gutted.
