Hello to the community. I hope that I can contribute something to enrich the famous Mapogo story.
Let's start with the most famous fight from the lion kingdom: The Selati Fight - Last Battle of the notorious Mr. T (March 16th 2012)
...In April 2011 the Mapogos chased another coalition of four male lions called the Selatis and nearly killed two of the Selatis when the youngsters got too close to the veteran warriors but narrowly escaped with their lives.
In February of 2012 the 4 now older Selatis entered Mapogo territory again and found an isolated Pretty Boy and attacked him. However with incredible timing Mr. T and Makhulu came to his rescue. Chasing out the 4 Selatis out of the mainland.
On March 16th the Selatis again returned and finally succeeded in taking over Mapogo territory in their 3rd try. Makhulu and Pretty Boy being too old and had sustained too many injuries had to pull out and abandon the battlefield...but there was still one Mapogo who decided to try to defy the odds. The four Selatis were able to single out one of the Mapogos who turned out to be Mr. T. By the time wildlife officials and film crew arrived, Mr. T had already been attacked and had several bite wounds on his back and front shoulder. One of the bites near the back was a deep bite. Mr. T was paralyzed from the hip down from the attack and made him vulnerable from all four lions coming in for the attack. The tactic used by the Selatis was to distract Mr. T from one side, and another lion would bite and maul Mr. T from behind on the spine and genitalia. The Selatis would then stop and move away temporarily from attacking, they would then get back up and proceed with attacking Mr. T, this process was repeated several times. Eventually, the Selatis left the severely injured and paralyzed Mr. T, who died that evening.
Himself injured and tired, Mr. T took on the 4 Selatis much like how his beloved brother Kinky Tail took on the 4 Majingilanes 2 years before. Here is where there were some doubts as to how it happened. It has long been confirmed however that Mr. T valiantly took on the 4 Selatis with great courage. It was the last Battle of the legendary SaTan...
