Thank you for the warm welcome! Yeah Iv read through all the the pages in this forum so far and have really enjoyed it! You guys have such a wealth of knowledge about the coalition and it’s amazing to hear stories from people who where actually around Sabi Sands and KNP when the Mapogos where top of the food chain! 
I have a question I’m hoping someone could answer what are the common ways lion contract TB is if from infected water/carcasses? As I know Pretty Boy died from that disease.

Disease is carried by buffalos and lions gets it by eating that prey.

I must praise Lion section of WildFact. You guys have contributed in best way possible and made the Lion section one of the most visited section of WildFact.

You all are like lion, Strong brotherhood sense and live in coalition making the territory delightful.

Keep this section rocking, just one advice.. Don't get mad for any particular coalition and never get diverted towards any VS debate (especially Lion vs Tiger type).. If you keep yourself in control.. This place will be No. 1 all over the internet taking over several other websites and groups

For any technical problem you can mention me or contact Mod @Lycaon

All the best

Not really painfully. We do not know if they succeed or not. Some argue that nomadic life is very dangerous, but what really is tough in it is early stage of it. This is however stage in which Othawa boys were doing well. They had no problems with feeding for themselfs, they avoided conflicts with terrytorial males and even put a beating to other nomadic duo in the arena - the Sizanani brothers. They deffinitelly looked like they have tools to become dominant by the time they left for Kruger so I wouldn't just count them out.

True, but wild is unpredictable, and the fact that we have no news about them that is saddest.

Being new to all of this, with still so much to learn, I do not understand your post. Who are those two males, and why is it painful?

Those were the unique sons "males" that Mapogo has sired and have reached the adulthood.
They were known as the Othawa boys (M and T) both of them has went to Kruger National Park in 2012. 


I hope this helps. Cheers.

Does anyone have any information on the night Pretty Boy received his injuries from the Magingilanes? I had read that he chased the four of them, which ended in a fight, until Makhulu and Mr. T arrived and assisted him. Is there any video or witnesses to this event? Thank you to anyone who might provide some clarity to this!!

**Correction**
It was the Selati who were chased by, and got into a fight with Pretty Boy, not the Magingilanes
