There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

2. lodges and smaller game reserves that build the Sabi Sand
Events of the Year 2006
3. locations of the lion prides in Sabi Sands
4. locations of the lion coalitions and single dominant male lions
5. exact location of the Mapogo coalition when they started with their Conquest (Nhlanguleni was attacked by Makhulu and fled into the area of Dzunani)
6. after the Kill of Nhlanguleni, the 6 Mapogo brothers took over the 1st territory and focused now on Dzunani
7. after the Kill of Dzunani the Mapogos were now the undisputed Kings of the West
8. after the Death of Split Rock male Tyson (Bovine TB) in June 2006, the 2 Roller Coaster males started their attacks against the Sparta pride and the remaining Split Rock Scar (July/August 2006)
Events of the Year 2007
9. after the Take-over of the Sparta pride and the dispelling of Scar (who was now a nomad and was seen from time to time with the Styx pride until he vanished by the end of the year) the 2 Roller coaster brothers made a move to the central part into the direction of the Serengeti male Rocky in January 2007. After the Battle, the 2 brothers returned back from where they come. The heavily injured Rocky had no time to recover because the 6 Mapogos followed what happened and finished with the unlucky brave male in which they killed and ate him.
10. in mid-2007 the Mapogos took over the central part of Sabi Sand and the first tensions arose within the coalition. Makhulu and Mr. T often clashed over mating rights and it culminated after a fight when the angry Makhulu drove Mr T off. Kinky Tail joined his younger brother and it was the birth of the two Mlowathi boys. They raided the east and attacked the Northern coalition. They managed to isolate and kill one of the males. Shortly thereafter, a 2nd male was seriously injured. Together with his 2 remaining Northern coalition comrades they escaped into the Kruger (the injured male was soon found dead there). Kinky Tail and Mr T were now the rulers of the East.
Events of the year 2008
11. while Makhulu was away with his lionesses, the 3 older brothers (Rasta, Pretty boy & Dreadlocks) re-united with Mr T and Kinky Tail a few weeks later. What now followed was the attack on the Nkhuhuma pride and their two dominant males Blondie and Dozie. By the end of 2007, Blondie was caught when he mated with one of the Styx females, heavily wounded he was eaten alive. Over months the Nkuhuma pride, Dozie, the young Sizanani and his brother were on the run. Many members will fall victim to the 5 Mapogos until they fled finally into the Manyeleti. The North was now also Mapogo territory, Mapogo City was born.
