Just found this, Charlestons with a pride, prob Southern Pride somewhere in 2016 or early 2017 based of young cubs.. A lot of fighting and tension, those guys where massive beasts :

Wow, Mazino (RIP) was a beast!


RE: The Charleston Males - Psyckoo - 04-14-2021

So no one of theses cubs survives as we know, Charleston males resting in Kruger was a disaster for Selati pride.
And as for Charleston male, no news for long time now, maybe that Mazino is no alone anymore...
I remember when i first arrive on wildfact there was an alert on the site about Mazino caught on a snare, i will never forget that moment.
Rest in peace Mazino, your bloodline is living.

It wasn’t a snare though, turned out to be a porcupine quill

Most likely not, he was not seen for over half a year, as you can see he was looking quite rough on those last photos, and after that Snip Tailed Mpondo was seen with his pride.

Thats a shame, would of been great if the charlestons stayed in sabi sands, they were a formidable duo


RE: The Charleston Males - Cunaguaro - 07-22-2021

True Beast!
One of the mighty Charleston males who made their unforgettable mark at Sabi Sands.

He was found two years ago with a broken back at Kruger and unable to move as he was freed from his agony with a merciful bullet, legends never die!
RIP King Mazino

Sabi Sands, South Africa.

Big Boy Charleston Jr with his younger brother seen near s65.
“ Hi! This was about 2kms before s65 we heard them from lake panic so I think they walked from near lion sands entrance and were headed to the waterhole on s65? It was just the 2 of them “

Well spotted Brahim. It’s Big Boy 100% confirmed. Scars and whiskers pattern are the same ones.
