The Mighty Mapogos

There're videos from the first half of 2009 where Mr.T is hanging out with the western Mapogos, but I wonder how long exactly they were separated, like, when was the last time the Mlowathis met the western Mapogos? If it was around January-March 2009 ( since it's the dates of the videos I saw with them together ), when Mr.T showed up again on June-July it'd have been more than a year since the western Mapogos saw him for the last time.

It must have been pretty weird for the 4 when Mr.T rejoined them for good and despite them seeing him as a coalition partner like he always was, they were seeing their cubs dying by Mr.T's own paws. They even followed Mr.T back to his previous territory to try to find the Majingilane, which ended up with Rasta dying ( regardless if killed by Majingilane or not, if he wasn't there, he wouldn't have died ). Perhaps, for them, it'd really have been better if they have refused Mr.T and chased him out, though as I said, it was probably very weird from their POV since they recognized Mr.T as their coalition brother and coalitions members don't chase or kill each other.

Regarding Rasta, the Mapogo fans exclude a priori that he was killed by the Maginji, but I think it is possible, it is not said that they were poachers. Rasta was the twin of Pretty Boy, and Pretty Boy was seen injured, a sign that he had fought. Makhulu, Mr T and Dreadlock had no wound marks, it seems. But we cannot think that a coalition is always together 24 hours a day, especially a large coalition. Makhulu used to go away for weeks alone, there is a nice video in which the 5 Mapogos siblings still sub-adults are without protection have to escape in front of two big lions (whose name I don't remember). Considering the Maginji's way of acting, I wouldn't be surprised if the Rasta colossus was also attacked in 4 and mauled. Reply
