I think it was after encounter with Selatis.
In that fight they injured one of the Selatis badly and who died later form the injuries

A lioness, or many, most likely. This was early in their dominance stage, when they started to push their control over Londolozi.
The pic below is dated 2013, the kid is one of the 6 Sparta young males.

Come on Scar Nose, come on Dark Mane. I still have hope that they overcome this and survive.

Habits are hard to break and I would think that since they have separated in the past that they would also separate in the future ... if 3 are up in the Othawa area and 1 (Mfumo) is down in MalaMala then the Avocas could be a thorn in his side. So I have to respectfully disagree and say that I dont see them protecting all of that area ... essentially Im betting on these smart Lions knowing how much land is too much. See how it all goes but its going to be fun to get updates.(04-06-2018, 01:40 PM)jordi6927 Wrote:(04-06-2018, 11:47 AM)sik94 Wrote: Since the western is fenced on 3 sides, there is lack of lion traffic in there. The birminghams are in prime and their presence on the only un-fenced side has deterred any young coalition from entering majingalane territory. The three avocas world be perfect candidates to replace the three majingalanes but they will never risk traversing birmingham territory to actually get to the western block. If history is an indicator, the birminghams will be the coalition that will eventually control that territory, given that the birminghams still have unfinished business in the north-east and have shown little interest in the western block territory, the majingalnes have been left to their own devices and left to die of old age. I give it atleast a year before the birminghams seriously start eyeing the western block as a future territory, any coalition that succeeds in occupying it in the mean time will suffer the same fate as the selaties.
Although they are pretty damn strong ... that is a lot of area for 4 BBoys to protect. I would suspect that they would eventually get separated by distance ((for example that one BB like to stay with that one pride in the south)) resulting in one or two of them getting beat up pretty bad or dying. There will be turmoil in the coming months for sure.
Mfumo has been in MalaMala for a while but the birmingham coalition as a whole have also moved in that general direction. Just yesterday I think all 4 birminghams were together in that general area. Birminghams used to be separated a lot more where you would generally see nsuku and nhena in the north and mfumo and tinyo in the south. They are acting more like a unit now than ever before so getting separated now is very unlikely. For example, three of them made a show of force on djuma after hearing the three avocas vocalizing, then went right back to MalaMala.

Credits to Matthew Smith - Kirman's Kamp.
A tribute to the Majingilane... I had followed the story of this mighty coalition long before I became a guide. They are the reason I became obsessed with lion dynamics in this region.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd get to see them, but I will never forget the day that I did!
This pic was taken only a few months ago of the Scar nose male standing proudly in the Sand River looking as impressive as ever.
I don't know how much longer they have left but their legacy will be remembered forever...
RE: History most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions - ShakaMapogo - 04-08-2018
One of the Majingilane have been seen according to Arathusa Safar Lodge this morning trailing the Nkuhuma Pride. Guides have not said which one, but that he is in bad shape.
RE: History most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions - ShakaMapogo - 04-08-2018
It’s Dark Mane on Djuma and Arathusa boundary on Safarilive now. He’s skin and bones....

RE: History most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions - Musa15 - 04-08-2018
A sad sight indeed. Poor boy just will not give up, trailling the Pride is his last ditch effort to survive. Hopefully he manages to get some meals in but it's very clear that the glory days are over even if he survies.
I wonder if Scar Nose has made it..

From what I’m hearing Scar is gone. But that’s what the Rangers think. Honestly I don’t want them to suffer from old age much longer... it’s painful to see this, I can’t imagine seeing it in real life.

If Scar is gone(I still had hope he'd survive and reunite with DM) then I'd agree with you. Two old males who can still pick off meals from other scavengers can live a decent life and help eachother. This seperation though has made the suffering much worse, indeed.
I think at some point when they got seperated and deteriorated both were too weakened to roar hard enough and reach eachother's ears. We'll never know why they got seperated in the first place.
At this point maybe I would be selfish rooting for their survival at this condition. But there's nothing we can do either way.

To be honest, one meal is all DM needs to be back searching for his brothers in their territory. He's skinny but atleast still mobile and not injured. The end is near though.

Maybe this is the last time we see dark mane. The lead of the majingilane coalition.
