History's most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions

[Ngala]

From Londolozi Game Reserve, This Week in Pictures #299 by James Souchon:
"One of the Majingilane males listens for the distant roar of his brothers after being separated. The three members of this coalition are spending much more time on Londolozi than they have over the past two years, and have been seen mating with the Mhangeni pride (their daughters). Inbreeding over only one generation is not a disaster in lion populations and is not altogether uncommon. In an open ecosystem like this it will invariably not be too long before breeding equilibrium is restored."
