i say that because of their manes. to me, they look just like Mr. T. Any idea when they were born. As we all know, male lions care for the offspring, no matter which coalition member fathered the children.

The thing is, all subadults have that mohawk mane. The bit on top of the mane is the last to grow.

Usually it's like this.

I would assume 2007 - 2008.

Not surprisingly.

He didn't target the Othawa pride, he targeted the Ximhungwe pride cubs.

After the end of Fierce Mlowathi's Reign . dozens of Nomadic lions coming to northern and eastern sabi sands for there own territory. 

7/13/2010

The lions have been going crazy with real estate up for grabs. Over the past month and a bit we have seen the appearances of no less than three new prides of lions in the area, having major riplle effects over the entire area. It started with the appearance of a pride of nine lions in the southern areas, found on a buffalo kill the one morning.
Not long after that there was a sighting of another pride moving I from the north, being eleven strong. Even the Kuhuma’s have made an uncommon appearance on the Manyaleti boundary. With this new larger pride in their area, I wonder how much longer we will be seeing anything of the kuhuma pride??.
The small satellite pride of two lioness and one male, have some how managed to cling onto survival and have so far avoided any confrontations with other prides.
The added supply of buffalo herds moving through the area over the last month or so have added to the lions political mayhem.
To top it all off the Mapogo’s rein over the area has come to an abrupt, end. A bloody battle ensued between five prime males, who lost one of their own during the first skirmish. The four males that survived hit back later the same afternoon and managed to kill one of the Magogo’s, banishing the survivor to a life of being a nomadic.

Black sabbath & the Mapogos Is a match made in hell. The Mapogos rulers of the Sabi Sands brought death and destruction, they  were unforgiving beast with an insatiable thirst for power and dominance. Their biggest strength that carried them to be crowned the greatest coalition to ever set Paws in Africa was also their biggest weakness. The Mapogos were extremely overconfident and had no fear and rightfully so they were the undisputed kings but being outnumbered 4 to 1 was even too much even for the greatest males. The Mapogos couldve lived or reigned longer but their heart, will and pride would not let them. They were born fighting and went out on their shields, they didn't see a fight they didn't like no matter the odds. They were the proud and stubborn warriors till the bitter and bloody end. But this earned them the respect and their stories will continue to be told 100 years from now - Gabriel .....Over a hundred years have a passed and no other coalition was as noteworthy as the Mapogos. A coalition of very distinctive  dark mane brutes made a unforgettable impression on both the wild watchers in the Sabi sand reserve. After lethal fights for dominance and exultan  triumphs that left many pride leaders bloodied and broken, and AN ALLIANCE OF CHARACTERFUL MALES STOOD TALL AS THE DREADED MAPOGOS IN THE SABI SAND WESTERN BLOCK - Chloe Cooper

that's really impressive,
two Mapogo lions, Kinky Tail and MrT, have emptied the whole area from other lions all those years.

at last now the gene pool will be renewed, more lions will arrive and all visitors will be so happy to see the new lions,

Yeah thats why mapogos are unique. According to willem botha mapogos killed 90 to 110 lions in just one year excluding the killings they done after split. Like killing of golf course male, manyaleti male, 2 unknown nomads, multiple lionesses of sparta pride probably there own mother, lionessess of styx pride 5th majingilane, 14 cubs of Ximhungwe pride , 2 unknown nomads killed by dreadlocks, rasta and pretty boy. Probably limper knp male. They have the record in killing other lions. Also in canablising
