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 kind of thought Mapogos weren't that special and it was just the doc that made them into such characters but the PC males story tells me that there was a reason the Mapogos became what they became.
Their confidence and size puts context on their fathers, Mantimahle males, 5 males that size (some of the largest and most impressive males in Kruger) and confidence in their prime years.
From 2015/16 - 2019 these guys where absolute terror around Skukuza area, many lions got killed and went missing there, they controled massive area and multiple prides, and thats just little what we known because they where in Kruger.
Their sons Nkuhlu males will be a real problem soon.
Yes, we know Mapogos because it was in Sabi Sands and filmed, but there was definitely coalitions like that in Kruger aswell, of which we dont have much info.
