These five brothers were born in 2010 in the mazithi pride sired by the two old Mazithi males. By 2015/2016 they became ambitious and started taking new territory and killing lions . Hard to be sure the amount of prides they had at one point stretching to maybe a number of ten prides. Now in 2020 they have abandoned many prides and were not seen for some time . But over the last month they have been spotted . Two were seen together on the s21 and the fifth member who usually is a solo lion whilst the other four stay together; was seen on a couple of occasions looking impressive but not in his usual territory, but close to the s79, but not too far away from where his two brothers were seen on the s21. Great news they have been spotted.; but what is the reason for their location change and abandoning previous territory? At 10 years old and being dominant for so long these guys are starting to show their age. But with all five members still alive today something rarely seen in big coalitions and the fact they have offspring in a few prides coming into age; it will be interesting to see what is next for the Mantimahle coalition and their legacy.

Very nice bit of Mantimahle Coalition history there, for sure. Good stuff from these guys.

Indeed Brahim has a very good knowledge from lions :) Reply
