RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - DARK MANE - 03-25-2023

Where is the 4 th hippo pool male??
And where are the youngest two?? ( Those 2 who were still with the pride during gomondwane takeover).
1/2 was with late snip tail mapondo 3-4 months ago

There is "theory" that 4th older HP was one (older) of the youngest 2, that we had 3 older (1 with s28 males and 2 at Mjejane) and 2 younger, and not 4 older and 2 younger.

Male who was with SP Mpondo was 1 of the younger 2 (older of the 2).

As for youngest, nothing on him in a while, its speculated that he was the young male which got attacked and mauled by Gomodwanes last year, not sure if he survived that.


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - DARK MANE - 03-25-2023

Mfowethu and Casper got missing.






RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - BigLion39 - 03-26-2023

Wait, Casper has been missing?


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - DARK MANE - 03-26-2023

Casper seen on 24 th March.






RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 03-26-2023

Casper and bros are seen daily, literally everyday there's sightings of them in different kruger groups on Facebook


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 03-26-2023

@Tr1x24 there was 3 younger brothers, one went north with Mpondo, one was killed by Gomondwane and this young one here in these 3 pics was seen after all that chaos in Marloth, but not seen since December.


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 03-26-2023

There was also a even younger male with a lioness and another young sub but  Marloth killed them instead of relocating like they said they would last year around Nov


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - DARK MANE - 03-26-2023

Oooooo goodness..
Such a vast legacy left by shishangeni males in hippo pool pride


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 03-26-2023

These 2 hippo pools males who were slightly older than the one who went with mpondo haven't been seen this last year


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 03-26-2023

Also this young male was chased into Lionspruit the private reserve at Marloth. Used to be a male lion called Fluffy who dominated there but he died at 19 years old last year. There's been times lions from kruger have got in through the fence, fluffy once fought 2 kruger males who snuck in once but he won that fight and the 2 males went back through the fence they came.   Anyway this young male is identical to the Hippo Pools who was sent to North with mpondo. This story il post below was in January young male was chased into lionspruit and the guys decided he can replace Fluffy so they put him and some lioness from marloth and collared her. Here's the story from January this year. Likely this is another Hippo pools, my friend said they saw him yesterday so he's still there.

"Excellent news from Jaco Minnaar, Inkomazi Municipality Field Ranger:

The future King and Queen of Lionspruit. This the young Male lion of Lionspruit. He is about 4 years old. He made himself at home in Lionspruit just after Fluffie's death. He was roaming and fighting Lionspruit by himself and defending his territory inside.  He was in a fight involved about 2 months ago with the two old big male lions that were removed from Marloth Park. After that he was very proud of himself annd lucky for him he was safe in Lionspruit because if the two males did gain entry
Into Lionspruit, he would have been mince meat. He's a happy Chap now ? ? 

The Queen ?  was roaming in Marloth Park, then Kruger then back in Marloth Park, she's a professional hunter between houses on the warthogs. One day she killed a warthog in a boma braai area!? Luckily no visitors were there! ? So we decided to dart her and put a collar on her just to monitor her movements and if there are any other lions with her! The plan was to move her into Lionspruit later on to be the Queen for the King ? But she was one step ahead of us! ? She moved into Lionspruit and made it her home ? ? She's a bit older than the King, but these days it doesn't matter anymore!??  Lets hope they will live happily ever after as  King ? and Queen ? of Lionspruit. 

The Inkomazi Municipality Field Rangers will monitor the situation and make sure she stays there and not hunt the injured animal's in Marloth Park for a week and make sure she stays in Lionspruit permanently, because she knows there is easy prey in Marloth Park!? ?. Lionspruit is a new environment for her and she is not familiar with it yet!? ? ? 

We request ALL visitors to Lionspruit to please RESPECT them and keep a SAFE distance from them! Do not encroach on their space PLEASE as they are only getting used to vehicles now and if you irritate them you will never get the pleasure of observing them in the future! They will then always hide from vehicles!?

Thank you for your cooperation!
The Inkomazi Municipality Field Rangers."
