History's most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions

[Tshokwane]

That's full of selective quoting, ignoring the context of said quoting. 

Quote:So Ginger has no new injuries 

If he ran when he saw the two Majingilane coming, of course he doesn't.

Quote:HB has no injuries at all

The darker-maned Matimba male, however, was many kilometers away from his brother on the morning of the 23rd. He was found around the south western portion of Londolozi, lying about 300m from the Majingilane and not looking in a good state. Externally he didn’t seem to be carrying any major wounds from what we could see and he only seemed to have a wound on his paw. However, he was struggling to stand. When rangers saw him in the morning, he rocked and struggled before managing to get to his feet, gingerly walked a few paces before lying down once more.

He was moving easily by this point and it seemed that if there were any injuries, they weren’t severe at all.

Pretty clear in the explanation. The fact that he didn't have death causing injuries does not mean he wasn't injured.

Quote:so what kind of fight was it then? 

On the morning of the 23rd, ranger Don Heyneke and tracker Lucky Shabangu found tracks just north of the Sand River, opposite the Londolozi camps that suggest that is where the big fight happened. Pieces of mane, blood, deep claw gouges in the ground as well as faeces litter the area.

The kind the leaves this signs.

Quote:I am sure this is the first time Majigilane face such a big provocation and the first time they didn't manage not even to wound even slightly the new comers. 

Already proved wrong on this. 

Quote: instead HB fool them around all the time, exhausted them with his continuously changing routes

After losing sight of him, the Majingilane patrolled the area, sniffing, roaring and scent marking. After about an hour of zig-zagging, it seemed the Matimba male had finally lost his pursuers and he headed silently and swiftly south. He would stop regularly, turn and listen intently to the north to try to establish the position of the threat before turning and moving south again.

Where does it say the Majingilane were exhausted? Because it is quite clear they were still looking for him, roaring and scent marking.

Quote:from the ethical point of view it is a defeat (ethical defeat) for the Majins, since they committed too much just to send them away instead of killing them both.

So, let me get this straight. 

The two Majingilane chased the Matimbas out of their territory and out of Matimba territory, they beat the crap out of Hairy belly who was quite lucky to escape with his life, and the same went for Ginger and you still call that "a defeat" for the Majingilane?.... 

Come on, now.

I will finish, again, with the words of the article. From the people who actually tracked and saw it happening.

After what is now two battles won for the Majingilane, will the Matimba coalition attempt to face off their opponents again or will they learn from previous mistakes and steer clear? Reply
