The Mighty Mapogos

[Mapokser]

Othawa males may have been successful in Kruger, we don't know, if they did, it doesn't mean that lion from the photo is one of them.

As for Rasta and Makhulu, dominance in a coalition changes day by day, and in that day Rasta was the stronger lion, it doesn't mean he was stronger consistently.

Makhulu was also a month or two shy of 11yo, while Rasta was at his absolute prime.

As for the lions you've mentioned that Makhulu "defeated", Makhulu never met Hairy Belly in his entire life that we know of, and certainly have never fought.

4 nomadic Skukuza males and Mapogos before they left their pride had a fight once but we have no details but that the Skukuza were seen with some injuries.

I can't tell who is this "nomad crow" you speak of, but if "Revenstor" is Ravenscourt then yeah Makhulu chased him off once but there was no physical fight.

Makhulu never fought the Rollercoaster males that we know of, 3 last Rollercoasters chased the Mapogos at the end of 2005 before going outside MalaMala's reach and in the next report they stated the one-eyed Rollercoaster was dead so it's likely there was a fight and the RC lost but even if that was the case we don't know if Makhulu was involved and this supposed fight could have been up to 6v3 so not exactly very impressive.

There was one Mapogo who had a big fight with the last Rollercoaster back in 2007 but it was one of the younger 5 males, not Makhulu. Reply
