The death of Mr T was just an aggressive lion unwilling to give up his territory no matter what, It definitely wasn't him thinking "oh i will die anyways so i might just try and fight". That footage always puzzled me though, the Selaties pretty much gave him every opportunity to make a run for it but he didn't do it for whatever reason.

Actually, this line "oh i will die anyways so i might just try and fight" fits Mr T's death perfectly ( if you think Lions think that way, which I am not sure if they do or dont ) , 

As according to witnesses, Mr T ran for " many kilometers " to run away from Selatis, but they successfully managed to catch up with him. Thats why, if you see the longer version of the video, all of them are tired and panting initially and after some time the attack starts ( which for me confirms that there was a chase involved ).  Below is the proof for your reference:  Also *** Dont want any fights with Mapogo crazy fanboys for showing that he RAN to save his life 2nd time, just like he did when Majings were younger/nomads and chased him away from KT ****

The lodge has been so busy over the last few months that I literally have not had a chance to blog! The sightings have however remained amazing as always and here is a brief summary of the predator viewing since Feb.

Probably the headline news is the four young Southern Pride males (now known as the Selati Males) taking over from the three old Mapogo’s. The Selati brothers had been exploring Mapogo territory for a few months but had always retreated at the sign of a confrontation. One night in March however the Selati Males came across the Mapogo’s on a buffalo kill in front of the lodge and split the older males up. Sataan was separated and the Selati males chased him for many kilometres before catching him and viciously attacking him (video). Sataan eventually died of his wounds and the two remaining Mapogo’s, Makhulu and Skoro, have been roaming nomadically to our east ever since. Reply
