Man, she looks flat worn out, he's been after her for a bit. I hope she is able to stay out ahead of him. 

While it has been discussed, and while I could never hate any lion for just being a lion, what these boys have done ever since they arrived in SS helps one to understand how/why so many hated the Mapogos. For context, I owe my interest in these cats to the Mapogos, and a random video that popped into my YT feed one day, and Makhulu is my all time favorite lion for that very reason. I wondered for years where all of the hatred towards them came from, and though being told of the 100 lions countless times, I just could not imagine what that felt like. What the PCMs have done is only a mere fraction of the destruction those boys were responsible for, but it  gives us a glimpse of what that time must have felt like, and helps me to understand how so many people have such strong feelings about them.

He looked even more worn out so hopefully he gave up soon after the video was filmed.

I also got into following these lions in the exact same way. Found the mapogos documentary videos on YT and eventually found WildFact.

He was for sure, I liked how he tried to be nonchalant in using his smelling a bush as a way of taking a breather. "Nothing to see here, I'm just going to stop and smell this bush, in the middle of a high speed pursuit." Reply
