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.

I first saw those in Karin van der Merwe's facebook page, so I believe these are really the skulls of both Kinky tail and the 5th Majingilane. In that post, she commented the size difference between both skulls, Kinky tail's one being smaller thatn the other one, although with bigger canines. Interesting detail, considering that the Majingilane was 3 years younger than the Mapogo.

Kinky tail is obviously missing most of the skulls back part and one side. I wonder if that was damage suffered during his life or happened in the degration of death.

A couple of videos now, this time of the Old Man.
The first one is from an encounter betweeen him and the Ravenscourt/Castelton male(apparently, I can't confirm it that especific male). It's quite blurry sometimes, but it's nice.



It shows a different side of males, because we usually see them lazying around and just sleeping, but those are compesation for this bit of their lives.

And the other one is from him roaring with his brothers. Again, his distinct rough roar is always the first to start and the last to sound, always announcing who's the real king around..

I feel you but atleast they have descendants, in my opinion mapogos are like michael jordan in basketbal and lebron are the majins. They are just in the right place at the right time, they probably lucky also. @lion crazy

@Panthera Leo, I don't remember if it's mentioned in the thread, but the Othawa females are daughters of the Mapogo, possibly daughters of Makhulu. Also, the females from the Tsalala breakaway/Mangheni pride, who's also controlled by the Majingilane, are daughters of the Mapogo, they could have been sired by either Kinky tail or Mr.T.
Some speak about some male or males, sons that went into the Kruger but I don't really know about it.
These are the descendents of the Mapogo, and of course the cubs these ladies have with the Majingilane males.

Lads, the documentary of the Mapogo brohters is again on youtube, this time with HD quality. I don't know how long it will be up until it's taken down again, but anyway I leave it here, so you can enjoy it again and, for those of you who couldn't watch it, this time you will be able to.
