A little story of how Pilanesberg National Park brought Leru and Fisa together so that they could achieve success and how they became true legends of the park.
"The Two males area knwon as Leru (mean Cloud) and Fisa (mean Fire) they are approvimately 7 years old in the pic (in prime) and areanot brother, leru come from the Eastern pride and Fisa for ther Southeastern pride. As young males they were chased by dominat males in their respective territories and a management decision was taken to try to create a forced coalition by putting them together in the boma until they have bonded thus increasing their chanse for survival. When they started feeding together on the same carcass it assumed that they have bonded and they were released from the boma. Soon afterwards they split up and went back to their own areas, when two males from Mdikwe (Known as Madikwe brothers) were introduced in 2004, Leru and Fisa were on te run again and were chased all over the park. They joined up again and this they bonded permanently, formed a coalition that could stand its ground and they subsequently took over of the eastern part of the park. Their territory were extends very rougtly from Kwamaritane in the South of Bakgatla in the north and east of Korwe. They area were easly recosined by the dark manes. The Madike males were the dominant males in the central area of the park, sontime venturing intop the western areas as well, their manes were of the normal body color and it was easy to distinguish them from Leru and Fisa.
the Leru and Fisa males were known as the Mankwe brothers or the Magnificent males."
These photos were taken on Wednesday October 3 2007 on the Tshwene road about 5 km from Manyane!

"Mullet" one of the 3 young Khaya males patrolling their territory, these boys are looking more and more like their father the awesome Zeus male ruler in the Karongwe Game Reserve, these three young males were introduced into the Rietspruit Game Reserve about 2 and a half years ago with a pride of lionesses and so far they are flourishing beautifully!!!
The three boys have been renamed Mullet, Ear-Notch and Collar.

The handsome Netsayi of the Ngweshla male coalition
SHAUN READ: "A very calm male lion on the last trip to Hwange. He was part of a pride made up of a coalition of two males (which the other was currently mating with another female) and 3 females and two cubs."

The young nomad. A beautiful young male.

The young Bolakega sub adult male from the Tshaba pride. With his father Monomoholo and his coalition partner Kwandwe, the Mahiwa males and the Chimro and Modimo male around him, his life as a nomad will not be an easy task. But perhaps nature tends to work itself out as he was recently seen spending time with the remaining Addo male. Together they have increased their chances of survival. It would be of advantage for both males when they form a coalition so hopefully they will stick together.

Didn't they just relocate the remaining Addo male to Shamwari?

The news that we have always hated to publish is the announcement of the death of any king, but this is part of nature.
The death of a famous King and the icon of Madikwe Monomoholo was announced at the age of 13 for unknown reasons, his carcass was found recently, leaving behind his unrelated partner, King Kwandwe to take care of what they had worked for to secure it and move ahead.
He was a true Warrior! Rest in peace, legend.

How outrageous and sad to keep reading that things like this happen with these majestic animals, it is a shame for "humanity".
RE: Lions in South-Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia - BigLion39 - 08-08-2021
I wouldn't doubt hes stung up on some greedy piece of craps wall somewhere in the US. What I would give to see some "street justice" for these bastards. How bout these scum get let out in the lions area with no weapons, maybe a blade, so its fair, and then we'll see what happens.
