A true beast of male lion

When I first began learning about lions, the Mpondos were one of the first coalitions that I saw a lot of images of, outside of the Mapogos of course, and at the time I remember thinking how massive and serious they all looked, like total destroyers, as if they were like the next Mapogo, or the Mjejane before the Mjejane. Nothing I have read about them since, has told me anything different. The only thing that has changed for me, is I have learned that the majority of male lions behave in a similar fashion to those lions, some just appear a little more proficient at it. Outside of killing a submissive lioness, mating with her corpse, and then consuming her, of course. Thankfully that is one behavior I have only heard of the Mapogos doing, though I am sure it has happened before, and will again, unfortunately. Reply
