The Mighty Mapogos

[Leo Aslan]

Mapogo Lions - The Battles of Africa
Ranger report: The Battle Kings of Sabi Sands
Coalitions and Males the Mapogos fought and defeated in at least one encounter as well as Males that were KIA against the Mapogos. Keep in mind there are multiple Nomadic Males that were pushed out or killed by the Mapogos that were never documented. 3 coalitions of Nomads that were documented. So we may never know the true extent of the massive Mapogo reign which is already incredibly illustrious as it is. Furthermore it took 9 Males and two different younger Coalitions, poaching as well to contribute in the downfall of the past their prime Mapogos. The list includes at least 20 Coalitions and/or 1 dominant Lion. Truly amazing.
