Coalitions of Kruger National Park

[sik94]

The first sighting of the two older Giraffe males at Ngala when they were 5 yrs old in October 2014. By this time they had already sired the five Avoca males around Makanyi and Shindzela. This guy was known from an early age at Gomo Gomo in Klaserie as Brutus, because of his massive size and dominance. His litter brother was also a huge male, but at this stage they were too young to challenge the 3 northern Matimbas who were in their prime. That would happen a year later.

This is the other brother a few yrs later at Ngala. These guys were so intimidating they would roam the Timbavati solo. Image: Roan Du Plessis.
