And I don't think it was revenge kill, they found a prime opportunity and took it. If kinky hadn't kept chase them, he wouldn't have died that day.

And lets be honest, them killing most if not all of their competition actually made it easier for others coalition to come in. Rather than beating 3 or 4 different coalitions, they just have to beat 2 lions.

I wouldn't call the manginjis overly aggressive, they were as aggressive as regular lions are. The Mapogos were overly aggressive, especially kinky and T.


What is the point of killing so many rivals if you're not successfully siring offspring? They failed in that regard which is a shame because each and every one of the Mapogos were great specimens physically. With 6 of them controlling such a vast area it should have resulted in most of SS being filled with their genes in the future. But in the end what happened was they merely reduced the population of both Lions and Hyenas for a number of years, in an era where both are losing numbers in the wild every year, before partitioning due to infighting and losing what they killed so many for. There's many who get a kick out of "Lion brutality" hence their popularity but I look at it from an evolutionary standpoint, and in that regard the Majingilane are unmatched in their greatness. The whole "who killed the most Lions" is meaningless especially if it had no real long-term purpose, that's just for sensationalism documentaries. Mohawk4 was correct, tje Majins do own all the meaninful stats except for territory size which is explained by their smaller coalition numbers.
Because that is what male lions do - Kill and breed. The Mapogo were good in one aspect.

You saying all of this is coming from a Human viewpoint, NOT A WILD ANIMALE ONE. That is what male lions do. If the manginjis were challenged more often in their lifetime, they would have to do the same and I am sure they would have tried to. The biggest difference between the 2 coalitions was that the Mapogos, especially kinky and T went out of their way to kill/attack.

Kinky and T, a 2 lion coalition held a bigger territory than both their other brothers and the manginjis. Stop saying they were only 4 so they couldn't hold a bigger territory, Kinky and T showed you could. Sure they paid the price for that but it also shows they had the confidence, courage and aggression.
