History's most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions

[Tshokwane]

With the subadult male killed the other day, many people talked about how they are "evil".
I wanted to show how this action of killing young males serves the coalition in the future.
It was 2012 and three of the Majingilane encountered three new males and chased them. Somehow they caught one of them and gave him a good beating.

They took it easy and stayed around while the young male licked his wounds, until a herd of elephants saw the lions and chased them off.
Of course, the lions fled and the young male ran in the opposite direction, trying to find his brothers.
How lucky he was! He was beaten of course...

but at least he was alive..
The funny part in this is that this males and his brothers grew stronger and older and finally expelled the Kruger male from his territory.
They are now the Sand river males.

Bent Spine male(you can see a little bump in his back, this is the male that survived the attack of the Majingilane)

This was a story with a "happy ending", at least for the Sand river males, but I think it shows how important for male lions is to wipe out the competition when they have the chance. By failing to do it, now the Majingilane face a threat from this younger males, at least for a part of their territory(mostly in the londolozi area) that is somewhat abandoned by the Majingilane, but one never knows what will happen.
