The two massive Leeubron males are true powerhouses of the KNP. One of the biggest lions I've ever seen!

Six of the seven Mantimahle males quenching their thirst on a waterhole 'Mazithi waterhole'.
 The Mantimahle coalition born between 2010-2011 were a coalition originally of seven males. One was killed in 2014, and the 6th member went missing which left only 5 Mantimahle males to claim a territory on their own. Now, with only 3/4 members the Mantimahle coalition is still a force to be reckoned with, but agein...

A recent sighting of the Pretoriuskop male with some new facial scars. It seems he had a scuffle with 5 young males but very large in size (possibly his own sons) near Napi Boulders in the southern entrance.

Possibly hyenas as well. A fight with other males sound posible, Or even when he was a cub/sub-adult and was feeding on a kill with other members of the pride. That's how the Birmingham lioness "Stompie' lost his tail too.

@"Timbavati" don't think it was the 5 boys he seems to be with them. Probably Phabeni males did it. More pictures from Warryn Fayard & snenhlanhla capholwethu

I really hope his left eye has survived the attack. He looks uncomfortable and in pain.
