He preferred to be on his own, and at some point he stayed with a pride(I don'tremember the name) that may have had a territory a bit away from their brothers. This isn't so strange on itself because they do this all the time but eventually meet up with all the coalition, but in his case I guess he was a bit more of a family man than his brothers and like that particular pride.
What I know about him dissapearing is that eventually wasn't seen anymore, he was thought to be older than his brothers.

How did he compare to hairy belly in size?
RE: the Matimba coalition - Chris - 07-02-2017
That was weird because as a coalition of 6 they could easily taken over the majingilanes.
RE: the Matimba coalition - bdg79 - 07-02-2017
The Matimbas were formidable specimens, to bad they didn't stay toghether or at least split into groups of three.

No idea, really. I guess that at first the difference must have been noticeable because of their age , but eventually they would have been fairly close.

And what became of the three Northern Matimbas?

Two of them are dead, and the last one I'm not sure. There were reports that he had a new young partner, but I don't know how accurate was that.

Yes the Northern male is with the Rockfig male

he used to spent more time with the talamati/Nkuhuma breakaways and Hamilton's pride around Hoyo Hoyo Tsonga Lodge and Imbali Safari Lodge. He also moves right the way up to Talamati Kruger Camp and then disappeared .
RE: the Matimba coalition - stoja9 - 07-09-2017
What is the biggest coalition? 6?
RE: the Matimba coalition - sik94 - 07-09-2017
Any coalition over 4 usually splits up soon after getting their first territory. But there have been coalitions bigger than 6, the skybeds in the kruger for example were originally 12 males but split up into multiple coalitions.

@Lionpower Happy Birthday!
RE: the Matimba coalition - sik94 - 07-12-2017
So that's eastern manyeleti/kruger boundary, ginger looks in okay shape too so I guess they have settled into their new life.
