Lions of Sabi Sands

[Mapokser]

@Cath2020 They were born in the Mantimahle pride sired by the 5 Mantimahle males. They are half-brothers of the 2 PCM and 6 Nkhulu.

I believe their fathers were known as Mantimahle because they controlled that pride, just like S8 was known as the Imbali male since he controlled the Imbali pride.

These 2 Mantimahle control a portion of the Torchwood pride, a pride that sometimes follows them to Sabi Sands.

It's unknown why they are spending all their time in SS now, but it could be pressure from lions from Kruger.

And yeah they are on Ndhzenga territory, more specifically on the territory of the 3 elder Kambulas that Mala Mala is now calling the Ntsevu pride, while the core Kambula pride lives in the central and south parts of Mala Mala.

Ndhzengas have always been quick to deal with the BDM in the north, according to Mala Mala their roars would always send the BDM back so hopefully they'll eventually show up to send a message to the Mantimahle.

Still, it may not be easy, we don't know how strong these 2 are but they look like absolute beasts, bigger male is a tank and the dark-maned mae has one of the blackest manes I've seen.

According to Dr. Craig Packer and his studies, dark-maned males have more testosterone, are stronger and on his own words "superior", so chances are these 2 are no joke. Reply
