The Mbiri are very sadistic and very brutal males. They went overboard with that poor Guernsey male
smh

Although I do recall reading that Olope was suffocated by Olobor and Oloshipa and not mauled to death. Olope was a beast and I can`t imagine what kind of force was used against him to do that. 


When 2/5 young  BRB's killed Frank2 it looked like Oloshipa definitely had grabbed his frontal area by his teeth and claws. Seems Olobor was near the back end of Frank2. Oloshipa almost lost an eye and had a huge gash there.  He was lucky he didn't. RIOP Olope!

The smaller Mbirhi male drips saliva in the rain, next to the unrecognisable body of the Guernesy male.
We stood by in shock as we witnessed these males drag this half-eaten carcass with them for almost a kilometre, adamant on keeping it close for the days after the battle.
It would appear this saga is over, as the Mbirhi males were seen back with the Birmingham pride this morning and the carcass appears to have been dragged away by hyenas.

Meet the two “Sark” males …. Since I’ve started working at Tomo safari lodge and also traversing Boston, I have had an absolute blast keeping up with these two boys and their current pride of 6 Ngati females and one remaining cub.
Since we are in a free roaming system with Kruger park and animals come and go as they please, no sighting of any particular animal are ever promised… however it does seem these boy really enjoy the open savannah plains located through out Boston.
I look forward to following their journey and watching them continue to display there dominance over this particular area of kruger nation park

RE: Lions of Timbavati - Ngonya - 03-25-2024

NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS
New videos of the fight of the Mbiris killing Guernsey male



RE: Lions of Timbavati - Hairy tummy - 03-25-2024

Brutal!
The mbiri looking in great shape compared to a while back


RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mapokser - 03-25-2024

For those saying Mbiris weren't strong currently, Shaka in amazing shape, Scar in perfect condition and look how strong he is, he ragdolls the Guernsey male like if he was an impala.

@sik94 Not sure I'd say this ia crazier than anything from the Mapogo era since according to Willem Botha, he saw the Mapogos killing a lioness and Mr.T mating with her corpse.

Ragdolling immobile and severly injured male in a 2vs1...such a display of strenght.

I was not saying Mbiris are weak compared to every male or coalition around, yet compared to most impressive, strongest and prime duos atm. 

As for their current condition, we need to see how long will this last, as we seen, in the past months they where seen more thin then fit.


RE: Lions of Timbavati - afortich - 03-26-2024

The Mbiris look brutal but I still would want to see the result of them facing other duos with stronger bonds because the Avoca-Guernsey bond was very recent.


RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mapokser - 03-26-2024

@Tr1x24 yes, it's impressive since Guernsey still has the weight of a prime male.

For what I remember, we didn't see a similar thing to other similar videos like Mapogos deaths or the 5th Majingilane death. They generally lock the rival in or attack from multiple sides, not doing stuff like dragging/ragdolling the body.

Male lions can take down and pull buffalos who are 3-4 times their weight, they are obiviously very powerful animals.
