No, Iñigo.

The ones that still live are the 4 Mangheni lionesses(maybe 3 now) and the 2 Othawa lionesses left (1 was killed by hyenas). 

The 2 Othawa males haven't been seen in the past 6 years, so it's anyone's guess if they're still alive or not, no one knows.

The Mapogos controlled 9 prides in all Sabi Sands. They sired few males that survived and many people say they was the worst in raise cubs but..... How many females still alive todays. Is the bloodline Mapogo over?

The 4 mhangene females, the two othawas, and the the three sparta/eyrefield pride are for sure mapogo bloodline, one of the styx females I am not fully sure about.

Nieces maybe(daughters of the Rollercoaster male), but not daughters, the Majingilane killed the cubs of this pride that were offsprings of the Mapogos (who frankly had not received well the take over from Kinky tail and Mr.T). The same happened with the Styx pride.

Does somebody have the original(perhaps hq) photo of this one I found?

Or perhaps another photo of all the boys together aside from the famous one where they're all drinking water together.

I only have this and the quality is poor sorry.

No I'll take it, thank you!

I can't identify them though, so if anybody could help with that it would be even better.

Just want to clarify, PB was actually bigger than both Mak and Dreads when he was in his prime.


RE: The mighty Mapogos - Gabriele GLG - 07-23-2018

Do you think it's possible that Makhulu and the original tailless tsalala lioness were litter mates?  I'm thinking about this because they both were born in 1998 and Makhulu is probably from the Tsalala pride.

Yes, I'd say there's a big chance of them being so.

Thx for the info. I understood that he was the tallest of the shoulders of all the Mapogos, not the biggest.

It's cool. And yes, he was infact the biggest. Not by much but still.
