I have always been fascinated by lions, especially the legen of Magopos. But i just cant seem to figure, which of the two coalitions were the strongest and most savage? i mean the majingilan were brutal, but magopos was savages ? 


So who was really the strongest? Magopos has the legend, so i would tend to say them, but the Majingilans did kill Kinky tail and rasta? 4v1 though

So i am not an expert on lions, but on what i have watched and read, I would say the Mapogos were the strongest. The Mapogos at one point in their career were believed to kill over 100 lions in a year, which is an extraordinary number. And the amount of territory they held was incredible, and was never seen before. EVen though the Majingilanes defeated them, it was 4v1 on kinky tail and Rasta, but the Mapogos were older males at the time they died. I believe the youngest Mapogos were born in 2002 (Kinky Tail and Mr. T), but KT died 2010 (8 years old), and 2013 for Mr. T (11 years old). While Makhulu was born in 1999, and Dreadlocks/Pretty BOy/ Rasta were born in 2001, so they all lived decently long. 

But the Majingilane were great lions, and successfully passed on their offspring, while the Mapogos do not have many living lions with their blood (Mangheni, Othawa, Timbula (maybe one or two more).  And I personally think the Mapogos were more savage as from a young age Kinky Tail would throw himself onto large prey (giraffe, hippo, etc). And if you watch the documentary on the Mapogos, the rangers say how Mr. T and Kinky Tail were aggressive in there approach to getting food, and Mr. T was aggressive just in general, when it came down to eating food (by fighting with his brothers and sisters) and on him becoming the dominant male in the group. 
 
Both are great lion coalitions though, but I would give the edge to the Mapogos. Especially because of Mr. T and Kinky Tail. Reply
