Mapogo Male Lion Coalition
Posted by Greg Coates


The brothers continued their patrols for most of the week, but were not as united as last week. Makhulu spent the first couple of days on his own down in the south where he followed the large herd of buffalo for a while. His black eye is not looking as swollen anymore and he gave some good roaring displays. In the mean time the other two brothers were with three Ximungwe lionesses up north where they treed Shinzele and the Dam Three Female one morning. They were very well fed and did not move at all even after the leopards had come down the trees and moved off. Later in the week Makhulu did reunite with his brothers but the coalition soon broke up again as Skoro started courting one of the lionesses. Makhulu and Sataan stayed with the other two lionesses that moved south and our last sighting found them very well fed again, suggesting the females are providing well for them.
