Known as the two black rhino males, coalition of two males rule the central and Eastern parts of the Pilanesberg National Park. Here is one of them and they are the pride males of the central pride. The central pride currently is the second biggest pride in the park. 


I have seen the black rhino males with some females from the Malatse dam. It is quite normal for strong coalitions to take over and rule a couple of prides in the area if competion is not so tight. Their biggest rivals are probably the Spooner males which rule the western section of the park. A few days ago a fellow guide told me that he saw the Spooners venturing into the territory of the Black rhino boys. There are also there younger males that i have seen quite often near Kgabo Tlou area and it will be interesting to see what happens next with all these coalitions in the park. Will they challenge each other or will the avoid each other? Time will tell and I will continue to keep and eye on them.
