Disrespecting lions ok… so the others were all dumb lions yes?

What? I wasn't disrespecting them, they are my favorite coalition, why would I disrespect them? I was just stating my opinion that they weren't very intelligent lions, how is this disrespectful? It's the same as saying some lions aren't very aggressive, or big, or whatever... Should we lie and say they are all equal in everything? They are not.

Mapogos were very aggressive, competitive and confident, which made them in many occasions, reckless, there's nothing wrong in stating that, it's just how it is.

They'd also take poor decisions which sabotaged their own success, like the Idube report on Mr.T's death said, they were too focused on dominance to a point they'd sometimes kill each others cubs which isn't very common, this in fact could very well have passed through their genes to their descendents, as their Kambula granddaughters have been reported killing each other's cubs in at least 2 difference occasions, last time, recently, the old Kambula with younger cubs killed an older cub from one of the other lionesses as reported by Londolozi, something that is even much more uncommon than males killing their partners' cubs.

Only Makhulu I think was particularly smart, he managed to join another pride when he was very young, he managed to join his father's coalition when he grew up, and despite being more than 2 years older than most Mapogos and 3 years older than the 2 youngest, he was smart enough to wait and form a coalition of 6. Later he'd show to be smart enough to take risks when he wanted and clash 1v1, but also retreat when he wasn't feeling it in the same scenario, unlike, let's say, his younger brother, charging and chasing 4 rival males while carrying injuries from a fight he had in that very same day, which ended up killing him.
