1 of the 3 Toulon males that are dominant over the Maroela loop/Marula loop area just NE of Skukuza was found on March 11 with a badly injured back leg and couldnt put any weight on it. The other 2 males were seen yesterday but no sign of the injured male since March 11. Does anybody have any info on this male or his 2 brothers. thanks

I also found them in that location on the easter weekend, but crazy traffic, which is to be expected. We found all 3 together last year. It's a pity about the 3rd male
