Doesn’t this look like that old sighting of them when they were returned after escaping?    Or is my memory plying tricks on me ?

Yeah could be but they were 6 in that sighting. Dont think they ever escaped. It was 3 Pretoriuskop young males who escaped and got returned, well least 2 idk what happened to the third one.

These 2 are quite a legendary and "under the radar" duo aswell, famous for their massive appearence and very agressive nature, especially towards vechicles.

Age and origins unknown, but should be quite old at this point (11-12).

For years they where territorial on s21, then in 2021 they disappeared and 3 S79/Mazithis arrived in that area.

Everybody believed they where gone, then they emerged last year around H5.

@Brahim 


Any word about Stompie/Mohawk male (one who was in a coalition with old Vurhami/H4, HP and old Lubyelubye male, called Makhohlola).

All of his partners passed away, but no word on him.

He should be quite old at this point (~13).

No sightings of s28 stompie or Hippo pools Makhohlola. They lost territory to S21 males but nobody knows if they killed them or not.

I wonder if they also weighed him and if so, how much he weighed.
