@"TinoArmando" , my friend, no I had not seen this particular article. I it is very interesting in how he compares the Mapogos to other lions he has been in the presence of. I do have to say, however, his comment, "ensuring their genetic success" hasn't aged well. So many years of ruling such a massive area, and so little to show for it, and that is so disappointing to me. But, I concur with nearly everything else he wrote.

Yeah. If we talk about a weak point of the Mapogo males could be the lack of offspring that they left through the Sabi Sands.
This was also because the Six males were really very aggressive. They killed a lot of their cubs. Especially Mr T when he back with their brothers.
Very sad, However nothing to reproach them!
They became legends and world famous for themselves

To be honest, and perhaps I am uninformed on the matter, I don't recall any of the other Mapogos killing their own cubs, or even their brothers cubs, outside of Mr. T. We'll never know why that happened, he's not the first to do it though. 

Patience with the cubs is one of the main reasons Mak is my all time favorite lion, along with many other factors, but he was great with them. He, and Othawa Male, and a few others as well, that I can think of right off the top of my head.

Rasta, Dreadlocks and Mr T were the Mapogo brothers who were being trying to kill chasing them out of the reserve the Sand River males (their own sons).
The Mapogo as the Matimba males killed their own cubs due the number of the coalition. Actually is very rare and strange seen a coalition of six or even more brothers spend time with a same pride. This mean that when the were cubs born they didn't recognize them as their own sons then they kill them
I'll post a few post about this. Reply
