IF I remember correctly all 6 were sedated and tested of rabies.

What l always wondered is if back then there were other lions captured for that purpose other than mapogos.

speaking of rabies l heard ravenscourt male and his fellow were sacrificed due to eating a dog with rabies.


also as far as l could see Only Rasta and Dreads received that ´´S´´ stamp. wonder why the others didnt get it, at least on the visible areas.

I am only sorry that the Mapogos did not retaliate in the elephant plains, maybe for the human intervention of a group of pathetic lions, exalted only because they kill one of the Mapogos in a 1vs4 battle, being able to dominate for years in the void created by the mapogo.

The amazing Mapogo grandson Prince Othawa aka King Nguvu

Blessed with good genetics, thick black mane, huge and healthy, reminds me of Makhulu in size and mane, he was georgeous boy.

Do anyone knows of the current status of the Mapogo's grandchildren or perhaps even the great-grandchildren? How many, if any males, the prides and so on.

Excluding those potentially sired by Othawa T/M and Mhangeni males as it is unknown if they sired any, then that would be current Othawa, Mhangeni and Kambula prides in their entirety.

Only surviving genes are in Othawa and Mhangeni prides and their descendants.

I don't really agree on the genetics of the best. It helps? Sure, but there is a lot of luck, think of Kinky Tail, he had excellent genetics, he was sturdy and courageous, but the numerical inferiority fooled him. The 5° Maginjilane was also huge for being young, much older than Mr. T and KT, yet he found himself, too young and inferior and could not reproduce. That's why I think the man should intervene, in some cases. Leaving it to nature means having to accept the disappearance of species as well as individuals.
