RE: History most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions - KGB_lion - 11-08-2017

MALAMALA REPORT: November 7th. 

''Cape hunting dogs are one of the most endangered carnivore species in the world and also one of the most loved. Any sighting is met with great excitement and appreciation by rangers so you can imagine our delight today when we viewed 3 different packs in-between Main Camp and Rattray’s Camp! A pack of 9 was found at Main Camp, 3 on our airstrip and the lone collared female was just south of Rattray’s. 4 lion sightings: The 2 Eyrefield lionesses were trailing a herd of 300 buffalo near Calabash Crossing. 4 of the lionesses from the Kambula pride and a Manyelethi male killed an impala close to Charleston North. The other 2 Kambula lionesses were at Campbell Koppies and the Styx pride spent the day along the Mlowathi River. 4 leopards: The Island female caught an impala lamb at Drum Crossing. The Senegal Bush male was at Campbell Koppies. The Ndzilo female and her cub were viewed at Calabash Crossing.''

Looks like each of the Majingilane have gathered their group of ladies.

I don't think she was seen anymore. The Sparta girls didn't like her, and some months after the Matshapiri males becoming dominant she dissapeared.

While on Morning Drive today, our Guide Dinamosi Malhenze, our Tracker Isaac, and their guests had the amazing experience of watching Dark Mane of the Majingilane coalition attempt to steal an Impala kill that the Mondzo male Leopard had successfully moved up into a tree. If you look closely, you'll se the Impala's legs hanging from the left branch of the tree. Leopards will usually do this whenever they can in order to protect their hunt from Hyena, Wild Dogs, or in this case Lions! Fortunately for Mondzo, Dark Mane was unsuccessful.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, how & when did Hip Scar get his right leg injury? (any rough idea)





Did he develop his leg injury during this period? Above vid shows a rough landing by Hip Scar. Soz if it was answered before.

@KGB_lion :

About #1662: The whole story of the impala's corpse hoisted on a branch... 2 tailess lionesses, a big empty-handed male and a tantalising lioness, involved... Good ! Like

No one knows for certain.

Some think that he got it from that action were he came down hard from that tree, but it also might have happened from a hunt where he put the foot the wrong way and the hip snapped.

It isn't known, but yes the date is roughly that.

Compared to the other lions we've seen dealing with that, Hip scar lived with it for several years and still hunted and fought and patrolled alongside his brothers.
