History's most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions

[Fredymrt]

MALAMALA TODAY: October 24th & 25th.

Lion sightings and soaring temperatures dominated the headlines. Mercury levels tickled the 40*C mark leading elephants to mud wallows in their droves. Predator activity was limited during the day but they made up for it night. Lions: The 3 Manyelethi males and 2 Kambula lionesses were viewed south of our airstrip yesterday. Roaring could be heard throughout the night all across the northern half of MalaMala and when dawn broke we found the scar-nosed male deep in Gowrie male territory- the 2 lionesses are with him. The Matshapiri male is still with the other 4 Kambula lionesses and they too were venturing north. All the while the Gowire males were roaring along our northern boundary with the Manyelethi male responding- the Matshapiri male did not. The 3 young males from the Marthly pride were seen in the south as were the 2 Avoca males- they were at the confluence of the Sand River and the Rock Drift Donga. Leopards: The Tamboti female treated us to a fantastic sighting north of Rattray’s Camp. She came across the daughter of the Kikilezi female and engaged in a 5 minute stare-down before moving off. She then walked within 50m of the Manyelethi males and Kambula lionesses but went undetected. Reply
