Mapogo's tookover of Othawa pride

The new males first came into contact with the Ottawa pride but continued to push west as the Ottawas ran across the river to escape from them. Over the next few weeks the new males slowly moved further west until one night the oldest male (Makhulu) left the others and followed the scent of Nhlanguleni all the way to the western fence, north of the river. The next morning the rangers following the tracks found the evidence (blood, scuff-marks etc) of a huge fight between the two males. The large male from the coalition was found heading east to rejoin the others, bleeding heavily from the mouth and showing many scratches from the fight, on closer inspection it was seen that his lower right canine had been snapped in half. Later on Nhlanguleni was found, limping badly and with a terrible wound on the right side of his face, the wound was deep and it seemed he had lost an eye, inside the wound was what suspiciously like a broken canine tooth lodged in the cheekbon

Nhlanguleni was a beautiful and strong lion, put a good fight against prime Makhulu, but 6 males where just too much. Power of Nhlanguleni can be seen when he took over Othawa and Sand River pride against 2 males, beast.

He came in early 2015, from Kruger, area east of north MalaMala, area where now Torchwood pride is hanging around, its pressumed that he was around 8 years old at that time.

What I know is that he died in the later half of 2005 and surely he had cubs at that time, he must have come either in 2004 or earlier.
Definitely, a powerful lion with an impressive personality. Reply
