RE: the Matimba coalition - jacksonsmash - 04-17-2017

THE POST ABOUT THE GIRAFFE AND AVOCA MALE MAY BE AN OLD ONE.  WASNT A NORTHERN MATIMBA KILLED BY THE SAME COMBINATION OF MALES A WHILE AGO?

Have these two formed a coalition? The matimba atleast has some security now if something was to go down.

This video was Taken in Hoyo Hoyo where Hairy Belly was seen 2 days ago. It is not clear from the video but I strongly believe these two boys look like the Matimbas ( HB & Ginger.

Here's a photo of the last two Northern Matimba's. Photo taken on the 27th July 2016 in KNP. The Matimba males were a coalition of 6 male lions but there's only 4 Matimba males left now. One Matimba male was killed in 2011/12, one Matimba male was killed by the Avoca males in 2015, 2 Matimba males are in Sabi Sands now and the other two Matimba males are in the KNP. The Northern Matimba's had a territory in Ngala Game Reserve but they were ousted a few months ago. Credits: Gert at Tambuzi.

Yes:
Northern Matimba-Tintswalo Lodge-April 24,2017

The Matimba male that we encountered a few nights ago in the North of the Reserve was kind enough to vocalise for us. His partner in crime (Rock Fig male) joined in and the two kings gave us a thunderous performance that left us all struck with awe!!


RE: the Matimba coalition - Lionpower - 04-28-2017

Any update on my boys? the last time the brothers were aprox. 25km apart. Did they come any closer?
