RE: The Mighty Mapogos - Cath2020 - 05-01-2024

Well, apparently it could have been from the Kambula Pride, however someone who posted it said it's from the Manghene Pride..... So, I can't vouch for it either way.  

Anyway, I thought #10 would succumb as a young cub because he was constantly getting bullied by his older siblings.  It's good to know that he's survived as the only grandson of the Mapogos that we get to see grow up in Sabi Sands....maybe for a long time, unless he goes deep into Kruger like his uncles, some disappearing.  Will be interesting to see his fate in the future.

Has far as I know the 1st mhangeni female that died before or after they left the mhangeni 12 she is the mother of k1 and k4 both died I believe 
“Super mom” k5s mother super mom is also gone
But the two remains mhangenis
Good teeth and bad teeth (because one has good teeth and one has bad teeth lol) 
Bad teeth k2 and k6 
Good teeth k3 
I might have good teeth and bad teeth’s daughters mixed up but if not bad teeth is also the mother of the limping mhangeni female


RE: The Mighty Mapogos - Mapokser - 05-01-2024

@Ttimemarti 

No. Good Teeth ( mother of the youngest cub ) is the mother of K1 and K4 ( both now dead ). Good Teeth has no living offspring but her current cub because her Ntsevu daughters died, so very likely did her Mangheni son ( seen in Kruger last year ).

Bad Teeth is the mother of K2 and K6 from the Ntsevu pride and mother of the limping female.


RE: The Mighty Mapogos - Ttimemarti - 05-01-2024

So what about k3 and k5? And the 3 mhangeni males? I thought super mom was the mother of k5 2 of 3 mhangeni males tinya and big boys sister
And who came from the 4th mhangeni female (first one that died?

K3's and Big Boy's sister's mother is the first Mangheni to die, K5's and Tinya's mother is the second Mangheni to die, she's probably the mother of the 2 other Mangheni males ( 1/2 killed by Charleston and the other was with his brother in Kruger ), but I'm not 100% sure.

Wait wait wait there was a reason they called her super mom she raised to most to adulthood but from what you are saying she didn’t

She did, she's the one with the most cubs at the time of her death: K5, 2 Mangheni males, Tinya and she had the last daughter of OM who was a subadult, 5.

First to die only had 2 that reached adulthood or were alive: K3 and Big Boy's sister.

The one with worn teeth only 3: K2, K6 and limping female.

The one with better teeth only 3: K1, K4 and 1/3 Mangheni male.


RE: The Mighty Mapogos - Ttimemarti - 05-01-2024

Alright can you give me a full list of the 4 mhangeni females offspring that reached adulthood I’m half way confused but I think I got it


RE: The Mighty Mapogos - BA0701 - 05-01-2024

Guys, I really do appreciate the education I am receiving here about the Mangheni, as does everyone else. Can we move it to the appropriate Mangheni Pride thread, so that anyone reading up on them there can read and appreciate it as well? Thank you!

Not sure what happened with that post, I merged it with the Mapogos thread, as A, that is where it belonged, and B, we don't allow random thread creation, as there is typically a place for the post in question to begin with, and we have more than enough dead threads at this point.
