History's most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions

[Tshokwane]

A nice report from Elephant Plains that explains a bit were are the coalitions standing right now. @LionKiss , I think you will find it interesting, as it answers some of your questions. It features both the Majingilane males and the Birmingham males. The bolding of some words is mine.
Ranger report for November 2015:
The Birmingham males were also out and about this month, as they were patrolling their boundaries and roaring all over. The young males are getting so much more confident and bolder by the day. These youngsters are still moving into Majingi territory every now and again. At this stage they are testing the waters, but every time they move in, the Majingi male’s powerful roar makes them turn around. The four Majingi males also came through the area the one night and killed a buffalo in our area. This made them stay in the area for two days, while they fed. They are still looking good, but you can see in their scarred faces that their age is starting to show. Although they are getting older, they can still put up a good fight and win.

Also, a report from Singita Sabi Sands:
The three Othawa pride cubs are doing well, and it was good to see them with all three lionesses and all four Majingilane males. While the Majingilane males are undoubtedly ageing, together they still control a very large chunk of territory. Great news is that one of the Mangheni pride lionesses has recently produced no fewer than five cubs, while another member of the pride is expected to give birth very soon, if she has not already done so.
They still are a great force of the Sabi sands, and keep having cubs with their lionesses.
