Hello, I’m new to this community and I see you have extensive knowledge of the Mapogo’s. I am interested in the Sparta/Eriefield pride( the Mapogo’s Matriarchal pride) I am also interested in their father’s (The West Street/Sparta males). I am researching both the pride and coalition to establish the history of each before the Mapogo’s were born. I have many questions about the pride and the coalition but at the moment I would like to start my research off with the Sparta/Eriefield pride. Here’s my question: Was the Sparta/Eriefield pride in existence way before the Kruger National Park was established or what pride did the Sparta/Eriefield pride originate from???? I am trying to establish if the pride was in existence way before there was means of recording lion prides and if the pride wasn’t in existence before Kruger was established did the pride originate from another Pride through a couple of lionesses breaking away from a core pride? If the latter happened what was the name of the core pride they originated from?
