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. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

He's now fought two of the three toughest two member coalitions around, and survived. Not saying you, @T_Ferguson, are saying this, but it seems that many have been quick to discount these accomplishments. We have not seen much of him moving and walking around since his run in with the Gijimas, but from everything I have seen there is not a lot of external damage. I believe what he has done, and gone through, all within just the past few months, is incredible, and that he is an amazing cat!

No arguments...  It just sucks that he keeps having to fight alone
No doubt that skorro jr. is a very tough boy, reminds me RRM

This thread should explain it. You have to replce the X with "twitter", for it to work.

He doesn't look super terrible, the fact that he is standing to eat, is a really good sign. He just looks like a lion who could use a couple of meals.

Finally a decent shot of him.  It's a bit worrying the black splotches on him in Sabi with so many lions that were not long for this place after showing them.

Seems to be getting around better. These black splotches seem to appear different to my eyes, and not in the same places. These, to me, appear to be more along the lines of healing wounds. Usually the black spots that appear, likely a result of TB, on the lions you references, those spots typically appear right at the joints of the shoulders/hips, seem to cover a smaller area, and are, typically, more uniformly round, this area seems more spread out to me. Then again, what do I know, I share your hopes that these are not that.

His thin hips have appeared like that for some time as well, first noticed them before he was even attacked by the PCMs on the air strip.

Wow he looks good all things considered, he doesn't seem to have any permanent new injury.

Only needs to recover some bulky.

Yes, but his left hip is probably still a bit lame as he favors it, but overall, no major new chronic issues.....  We can't see the other side from this angle.  Hopefully, it doesn't look worse.  Doesn't appear to be limping very heavily, good.

Great to see he is well! A little thin, but, nothing a couple of good meals won't fix. Hanging with the Manghenis, if there was a PCM controlled pride that would be the best to hang with, it is them, given they seem to be the pride they visit the least. But, they do still visit.

We don't know what lead to their separating, it may only be temporary. But given Skorro Jr's penchant for getting a little heavy handed with NYM, it wouldn't surprise me if such aggression lead to a separation. It may just be that Skorro Jr couldn't keep up, akin to what has happened to the SBDMs, no telling. We will see how things transpire in the coming weeks/months.
