History's most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions

[Abomai]

I think this Mapogo vs Majingilane discussion is a hot topic that cannot be pacified.

Some people focus on the end result, while some focus on the how things got there.

The Majingilane have managed to live into old age and are still dominant over a large territory and some prides. They have fathered many cubs, and some of them have reached adulthood. That's perfect case of a successful life and really hard to argument against. 

The Mapogo were also very successful. They ruled for 4 years over an immense territory, then 2 more over a still large territory. They were already an aging coalition content with their lands to the west when they lost their first member (the 2 Mlowathi being the exception). Human intervention hindered them of becoming everything they could have been. If their male offspring died before reaching adulthood, you can't really blame them: once you go nomadic, you're on your own. From an evolutionary standpoint, Majingilane's success is also Mapogo's success through the Othawa and Mangheni prides.

It's ok to have favorites, but we are going nowhere if we try to find who's best, especially when we don't have all the facts. Reply
