S.Shishangeni and his condition at ~14-15 yrs of age is very rare case for a wild male lion (on top of that he was nomad most of his adult life).

Its always sad to see male lion past his prime, especially one we followed all these years.

I don't know if it's truly sad to see Mohawk this way.  He and his half brother are the survivors.  I'd love to see them both live on for a couple more years, though it's mostly likely not possible.

I think many of us wanted the fairy tale that the 2 of them got together.  S. Avoca, Kruger, and Mohawk would have possibly brought a couple of years of stability to Mohawks old territory. Reply
