History's most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions

[Pantherinae]

What I think is The case is that, probably males will lead their prides away if there are cubs near by, they can risk was between themself and a rival pride with cubs present. But ofcourse all cats will avoid a fight, no cats like a serrious fight. 

But I agree male lions treat younger males very differently than older males, with both attacking and boldness, when faced with younger intruders, it seems that if old dominant males comes in groupes they will almost every time try to kill one of the intruders if they are young, mapogo and majingilane are perfect examples of that. 

And I fully agree with you're theory that lions can probably hear the difference between young and mature males, it makes a lot of sense. There is a clip on YouTube where one large male from the crater confronts 4 males and wins, that's an impressive sight, how he intimidates 3 and fights of one. Would have lost if all attacked, but he had the experience and bravery he needed!

Also so where have you seen tigers fight of several attackers? That must have been in captivity.  Reply
