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.

We know that at one point mapogos had most of the sabi sands territory, before the majingis came to the scene, what were some other coalitions in the remaining area of the sabi sands?

2 Golf Course males, by the time the Mapogos got there, they were very sick with bovine TB.

1 Rollercoaster male.

2 Gijima males, to the northeast part of the Sabi Sands.

@sik94 also 2 manyaleti males who comes their after mapogos takeover and one is killed by mr t and kt,  also 3 toulons who were defeated by T and Kt also 2 unknown males from kruger also defeated by Mr t and kinky tail. and in one occasion one more coalition of 2 males (probably gijimas) defeated by mlowathis . and also when first mapogos taking over sparta pride there were 3 roller coaster males were there not 1. then Roller coasters reduced to 1 because 1 is missing probably killed by mapogos or died by diseases. and 1 is killed by a crocodile. and last one was wounded by mlowathis and finally died by old age in 2010.

I forgot about those, for a moment I though they were the same as Gijimas.

But, I think the question was who were the other resident coalitions when the Mapogos were an established, dominant coalition, not in their youth.

Around 2008, that Rollercoaster male was alone.

The Toulon males and those 2 others were nomads, and the Gijima males weren't expelled.

@Tshokwane @sik94 

first confrontation between Mapogos and roller coasters was in 2007

Mala Mala Report

October 2007


The Rollercoaster male was seen on nearly every day during the report period. He spent most of his time with the Eyrefield pride but was seen to mate with a Styx lioness. Mid way through the report period he disappeared for some days and returned with a bad limp clearly having been in a fight. Shortly afterwards the five Eyrefield Males were seen one also having a bad limp. Coincidence?

Thank you.

It's interesting, but not always mentioned, that the conquest of the eastern part of the Sabi sands was made by all of them, not just by Kinky tail and T.

Talking about it, who are the fathers of Sizanani  (Thanda Impi male)?
 I read that he's survivor of the Mapogos takeover.

I think there were also 4 males called Northern Males and they were defeated and killed or left SS and went back north.
