more than 7 years

That is what was usually said in documentaries, and is partially wrong, particularly when it comes to large coalitions.

The Mapogo males reached 6+ years of dominance, the Notch males about the same time, the Musketeer males have been dominant for at least 5 years I think.

So an extended dominance time is something to take note of, but it doesn't make them unbeatable, and certainly doesn't make them "better" than others.

I see that you like them, so do I. But over here we try to keep a balanced view of the lions without pretending one is way better than others so if I was you I'd try to temper those statements that border on fanatism a bit.

Thanks.

but look, the selati coalition was huge. they were 4 males and they only ruled western sabi sands for only 2 years. i mean the majingilanes were the same 4 males and could keep their dominance for much more years than selatis and more years than biggest coalitions than them like mapogos, matimbas or skybed males. i mean they have some answer to that who is not related only to number.

Yes, they were 4 strong but when the manginjis attacked them, they were only 3. And each selati was attacked in a 1 vs 4 fashion, there is proof of this. The final fight was the one where selati 3 (the biggest selati) fought against the 4 manginjis and then passed away from his injuries. That is not the same as when the Mapogos fought the selati as a 3 vs 4, then as a 2 vs 4 and then finally a 1 vs 4!

The manginis kept their dominance because after the selati were defeated, they fought no other coalition as big as them or bigger. The selati came into power by beating 3 old Mapogos, the manignjis then beat them as 4 vs 1 and that that, no coalition came into the sabi that was as big as these coalitions, except for the BBoys. Literally, all these years that you talk about, they have never fought any coalition as big as them once! (and don't bring in the BBoys, these 2 coalitions have never fought each other)

And what answer do the manginjis have to not have fought an equal battle as themselves? Literally, all the manginjis fight have been against lions that were, at best, 2 strong and in the case of the selati, they never fought them as a coalition! Even now, they have not been put to the challenge! Why? Because most of the coalitions in the sabi are 2 at best.

This is why I have been saying that the manginjis and selati got lucky that the matimbas split up because if they hadn't, they would have caused havoc on the sabi. Reply
