Oh No - Casper The White Lion Is Hurt!

Apparently Casper, his Brothers and four Lionesses (Yes, it seems that the Shish Brother Coalition has claimed the relatively unknown Satara Females) were surprised by a huge Buffalo Herd while the Lions were busy socializing next to the N'wanetsi River in Kruger National Park.
Whether they tried to catch a Buffalo, or whether the Buffalo's just confronted them, is not clear.
We spot Casper late that afternoon with his brothers and 4 females and we could clearly see that his right front leg was hurt and that he was in pain.
We decided to go and search for him again early the next morning to see how he was doing.
Watch what we discovered when (and how) we found him.
Close to the end of the video you will notice a badly swollen right front leg and a wound on his backside.
This footage was filmed on 23 and 24 October 2021.

The most magnificent & impressive Lion♚💘🦁So sorry you are hurt, Casper😥no doubt sustained during their beastly bruiser encounter. Very badly swollen but he is determined to press ahead tough boy🙏I hope he's not too far away from his brothers🤞Thank you so much for the stunning visual & update🙌I hope he improves next time we see him.

Don't worry everyone! Casper is ok! It's about 3 days later and he's with all of his brothers, still limping but not as badly. He's moving about quite well, scent making and patrolling as usual. A truly injured or ill lion will not perform those duties. So, Casper is in much better condition! We can all breathe a little easier.

[@blackice1796]

Like the guide says, I highly doubt it’s broken. It just looked bad because it was still from laying down when he was at the bridge. After walking to the river, it was much better and could support more weight, and this is only day 1 or 2 after the injury. He’ll probably be fine within a week or 2.

Poor Casper, his foot does look swollen but he still looks amazing. Lions are resilient and he is able to lick and tend to his injury which is a blessing. Poor baby it is obviously very sore but with rest and good food he will hopefully make a full recovery. That was a beautiful closeup on the side of the road, he is a handsome and majestic lion.

[@arturgjoni8881]

Despite the injury he looks in great shape, the mane developing nicely, he is also bulkier than the last time, prime years for this beautiful young king, great footage, thanks

[@محمدالسريع-و8ب]

It is sad to see him injured, but it is clear the injury is not severe, as he can put pressure on his hand, and this means that there is no fracture and he just needs some time to recover. The important thing is to be next to his brothers in order to be safe.

[@Fadedecho1]

Lionville seems to be having some pretty intense chaos as of late. This boy is a reminder of the DM injury. After several rests / food and love from the talamati ladies he healed well. They definitely are resilient. Hopefully all goes well with him. 💞

I know people will disagree, but he is a rare animal that is part of a endangered species, and we should step in and see if there is something we can do. Even if it is clean any wounds and give some anti-biotics. We have taken so much and killed so many lions we owe this guy a helping hand from us humans instead of a bullet.

That wound on his hind quarters doesn’t look like a Buffalo injury to me. I’ve seen lions recover from horrible injuries that made me think they were goners for sure… I hope he gets well soon.

[@hotbit7327]

Agree. Looks like bite marks on the paw, a puncture on the top (or left) side, and more punctures on the other side. Plus injured hip - looks like he's been in a fight with another lion (or lions). Now he looks like a brother in arms with Talamatis DarkMane... Poor boy has no pride to deliver his dinner :(

[@captainpotato6856]

Takes two males at least to do damage to his flank ...weak point on male lions ...their teeth are positioned to severe the spine ...maybe one brother finally helped casper to escape? Because clearly he would not have escaped like this from two faster male lions with no major injuries?

Casper is dead now. 💀 🪦 That’s a severe injury he won’t recover from. A pair of male lions will notice that weakness and beat the crap out of him breaking his spine and paralyzingly him for an agonizingly slow and painful death. The vultures will finish off the rest. 👻 ☠️

[@rsb512]

They can't let that lion die. If he doesn't heal on his own in a couple weeks they have to intervene because Casper needs to live another 5 years or so so he could produce a lot of cubs. Could he have been fighting with one of his brothers over mating rights? I sure wish the Casper coalition had their own pride.

[@claudiasangwais1129]

Oh yeah Casper is limping, poor casanova must have though he could be the choosen one 😉🙄🤣 but not to worry, he'll be slapping those paws around in no time

Casper was asking for help lying in the middle of the road… He needed treatment by the vets. He was trying to communicate but… I think something is stuck in the foot..

[@Kevin-zr2rs]

I love these videos, especially the lions. I do wish that the cars would stay further away from them. There are long range lenses for cameras so there is no reason to go within mere meters of them. No matter what you say, they are aware of your presence and that could alter their behavior. Please stay a respectable distance from them.

[@rustysilk685]

Kevin i so agree with you there ois no reason on earth to be that close to wild lions and there are too too many vehicles in thier way. I have said this same thing for years.

[@ada-dech]

I do also grateful for the consistent update on Casper.. but those cars are a tad bit too close and why would they kept the engine running up that close anyway.. Imagine being badly injured/hurt as he is and so closely surrounded by cars with engine on .. and a rival coalitions approaching but he couldn't detect them due to the noisy cars .. and a fight ensue .. Well, they'll probably just gonna said _"We can't interfere with the course of nature"_ ..

Isn't N'wanetsi Pride controlled by Sweni male, or he has lost the control?

Yes, the Sweni males control the N'wanetsi pride... I believe he meant Nsemani pride. But then again I could be wrong if the Sweni males abandoned the N'wanetsi pride, or the young shish males ousted them, but that seems unlikely to me, the Sweni males are tanks. Edit- I was referring to the new Sweni pride males... They are tanks.

[@MyAfricaAdventures]

You are right Styx. I consulted with a Lion Expert and he reported that the females are probably from the little known "Satara Pride". Thanks for your positive and informing input. Regards. PS I have changed my description in the video accordingly. Sorry for the unintended misinformation.

[@MyAfricaAdventures]

Reply from an expert "The 3 old Sweni males who were in control of the Sweni pride till around 2018/2019 took over the N’wanetsi pride at the end of 2018. Only 1 male remains from Sweni males but his still with the N’wanetsi pride who are spending most of their time on the S100 The N’wanetsi pride consists of 3 mature lioness, 1 young lioness and 5 young males and the Sweni male is the pride male" And..."I looked at one of your videos and it is the lioness with the branding. I’m not sure exactly how many is in the pride but I’ve seen at least two of them 👍this is more than likely the Satara pride" Thank to my friend the Kruger Lion Expert for his expertise and thank you kkg108 and Styx for your input!
