The Mighty Mapogos

[Tshokwane]

So the Mapogo males were born in the Sparta pride, also known as the Eyrefield pride.
Makhulu, the oldest of the males, wasn't original of the pride. The sparta pride had lost a subadult male in may/june of 2000 and Makhulu suddenly appeared in the pride. He wasn't accepted really, but the West street males, a coalition of five males and dominant over the pride didn't kill him. I tried to ask in facebook, mostly in some lion groups but no one has answered me.
The next three males, T2/Pretty Boy and Rasta/Leonides(called the twins) and a little younger male called Dreadlocks/Snip Tail were sired by the West street males.
Apparently the two younger males Kinky Tail/Shaka and Mr.T/Mohawk were sire by the Roller Coaster Males/Shaw males (sons of the West street males) when the older West street were away from the pride. The oestrus time in the females is confusing(I think they do this on purpose) so it is unclear who were the fathers of the two younger Mapogo.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I see some resemblance between the males. What do you think?
