I first saw those in Karin van der Merwe's facebook page, so I believe these are really the skulls of both Kinky tail and the 5th Majingilane. In that post, she commented the size difference between both skulls, Kinky tail's one being smaller thatn the other one, although with bigger canines. Interesting detail, considering that the Majingilane was 3 years younger than the Mapogo.

Kinky tail is obviously missing most of the skulls back part and one side. I wonder if that was damage suffered during his life or happened in the degration of death.

A couple of videos now, this time of the Old Man.
The first one is from an encounter betweeen him and the Ravenscourt/Castelton male(apparently, I can't confirm it that especific male). It's quite blurry sometimes, but it's nice.



It shows a different side of males, because we usually see them lazying around and just sleeping, but those are compesation for this bit of their lives.

And the other one is from him roaring with his brothers. Again, his distinct rough roar is always the first to start and the last to sound, always announcing who's the real king around..

Is there a living descendant for the mapogos? Like son or daughter of any member.


RE: The mighty Mapogos - lioncrazy - 08-16-2015

@pathera leo I think there is a pride of females that are there daughter I don't remember there pride name but there is


RE: The mighty Mapogos - lioncrazy - 08-16-2015

I love watching video of the great mapogos it is so great to witness I hated the majigilanes when they first took over I really did!! but now they have really grown on me they have really made the mapogos proud  even if they could never could admit it in my opinion


RE: The mighty Mapogos - Panthera Leo - 08-16-2015

I feel you but atleast they have descendants, in my opinion mapogos are like michael jordan in basketbal and lebron are the majins. They are just in the right place at the right time, they probably lucky also. @lion crazy


RE: The mighty Mapogos - lioncrazy - 08-16-2015

@Panthera leo that's a good comparison I like that the mapogos were the best in there prime even at the end big mak and pretty boy hung on as long as they could


RE: The mighty Mapogos - Tshokwane - 08-16-2015

@Panthera Leo, I don't remember if it's mentioned in the thread, but the Othawa females are daughters of the Mapogo, possibly daughters of Makhulu. Also, the females from the Tsalala breakaway/Mangheni pride, who's also controlled by the Majingilane, are daughters of the Mapogo, they could have been sired by either Kinky tail or Mr.T.
Some speak about some male or males, sons that went into the Kruger but I don't really know about it.
These are the descendents of the Mapogo, and of course the cubs these ladies have with the Majingilane males.


RE: The mighty Mapogos - Panthera Leo - 08-17-2015

Thanks guys, for the response. @sanjay @majingilane and @lioncrazy, got hooked by these lion legends! It was like addicted to them hahaha. Cant wait to see whose coalition to replace majin!
