The Mighty Mapogos

[Shadow]

One old article but quite nice one to read and remember, that when talking about legend of Mapogos, it´s about coalition, not 1-2 lions.

Quote:
"In conclusion then, legendary status is hard to achieve but ask anyone who has worked in the Sabi Sands for the last 7 years and they will tell you tales of the Mapogo.  Sadistic tyrants or protective fathers?  Both could be claimed true but the fact is that their arrival heralded a new age of the lion population in the Sabi Sands.  Love them or hate them, their exploits will never be forgotten.  These tales will no doubt be embellished and exaggerated but this is how great icons are born.  Over time, these stories will become myths and myths will become legends: a fitting legacy for the most famous lions of the modern era."

Not too long article to read all the way.

I personally find Notch and his sons as the most interesting lions, but these are personal preferences always. And it doesn´t mean, that I wouldn´t be as amazed about Mapogos as anyone else. It was a remarkable coalition, no question about it. Reply
