There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Shaka. The warrior.
Even if you knew nothing else about him, only his name would be enough to know who he was, to understand the kind of arrogance , power and majesty only a male lion can have.
Shaka/Kinky tail Mapogo.

He was one of the youngest Mapogo, born in 2001 and also was one of the smallest. Here in a pic with Dreadlocks we can see the size difference between both. Kinky tail is the one in the front.

But that didn't stopped him. He was also one of the most agressive of the six Mapogo males, and eventually that agression got him and Mr.T in trouble with their older brothers, that kicked them out to the eastern part of their huge territory.
Here, now in their new territory they brought new chaos but also this allowed them to have access to females and sire cubs of their own.

Here is a little clip of him roaring with one of the Styx females.
The arrival of the five Majingilane males in 2010 was the start of a series of events that ended in a change of dynasty.
But it wouldn't be so easy for the newcomers, no...

If you hang around facebook in the Mapogo page, there is still a lot of people that feels hatred towards the Majingilane and also feels bad about him, about the way he died. To that I think, ¿so what?. ¿Is there a better way to die for a male lion?.
I think there is not. He died as he lived. With blood in his fangs and a roar of defiance against anyone foolish enough to stand against the Mighty Mapogos.

Even good things must come to an end.
Ah, but he made it to be such an end...
