There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Yes. Why would you think otherwise?. 

They have a big territory that needs patrolling.

Welcome to the forum.

It's a tricky question. Despite aging, the Majingilane are still four strong, and that has a lot to do when rivals would consider makeing a move at them.

I agree that the Birmingham males pose the major threat of the coalitions now present, but they are still very focused on their two prides and young cubs. As time passes and the cubs start to grow older, then they might want to make a move, but I think the Matimbas, being just two would be targeted first.

Inyati Game Lodge:
The Majingilanes are looking great as the weakened buffalo have become an easy target. Some are certainly benefiting from the drought at Inyati Game Lodge.

Thanks for the reply. I think I've viewed almost every page in this thread, but I can't find any pics of the 5th maj. I know he was killed by KT and T, but it would be cool to see some photos. If there are some here, were should I look?

From the blog of Savanna Game Reserve, the report about July-August:

The Majingilane males continue to dominate the area and are still looking very good. They are spending most of their time along the river, where the prey density is the greatest, as well as being the core territory of the Ottawa pride, with which they are spending a large amount of time.

Video with the Majingilane, the date is the 1st week of July. Credits to Khimbini Wildlife Videos.

Notice how stiff Hip Scar's bad leg is when he has to get up. Then later on the video, we see him struggling even to walk, it looks like the front paw was giving him trouble. If I remember correctly, I think in one of the pages they had mention it and suggested that it had to do with him taking down that buffalo.

Consider injuries sustained by rodeo cowboys who ride bulls and broncos. Every one of those guys earn bragging rights of their many broken bones. It amazes me how the big cats can survive for as many years as they sometimes do. At least a cowboy can get immediate medical help.
