Coalitions of Kruger National Park

[titose]

7 of the Gomondwane males in 2010, chasing a lioness that was in a tree on the S28 road.

Rosa Swart tells how this event happened: 
"UNIQUE SIGHTING 
Without a doubt, our most unusual and best sighting happened in 2010. My hubby saw a lioness right at the top of quite a tall tree. When we stopped and looked around, we saw the reason. There were 7 male lions in the bushes under the tree waiting for her.
The poor girl looked terrified and stressed, she couldn't settle in the treetop and eventually started climbing down the vertical trunk, head first. As soon as she hit the floor she bolted off, followed in hot pursuit by the 7 males. We only managed to get a shot of 6 of the males running after her.

Here is the sequence of the lioness jumping off the vertical tree trunk and 6 of the 7 males chasing her" 

P.S.: this leaves us with many questions as to how many males made up the Gomondwane coalition, as many people have speculated that it was made up of up to 9 males, but so far there is nothing to confirm this!
