The loss of Rasta was a really big blow, just as the loss of KT was even bigger, but, I still believe that the loss of Dreadlocks, to poachers, was the biggest loss to the 6 Mapogos. They had been able to regroup and recover from all of the others, and Dreadlocks played a big role in that. Once Dreadlocks was killed, the end of the Mapogo reign came relatively quickly afterwards.

This is something I agree with completely.  I thought Rasta was also lost to humans...

I had, at one time, believed that as a possibility as well, however, I have since come to think that something else happened to him. Originally, has been mentioned, there are those who say that Rasta disappeared, after some interaction, between unknown lions in EP, that was not witnessed, but then we are told that Rasta was actually seen after that incident. Not long after that, though, Rasta vanished, and PB was also seen badly injured, one of several such occurrences. I am not sure of the time span, between Rasta's disappearance and PB's injuries. Reply
