Coalitions of Kruger National Park

[Ngala]

From Jock Safari Lodge:
"For several months, after the pride takeover of the Eastern Bank male lions, the Stolsnek males were not seen. 2 of the 4 males’ carcasses were found but there was no sign of the other 2 males. 
A few days ago, 9 young lions form the Gabbro pride killed an adult male giraffe, a short distance from the Lodge. Whilst Rangers & Guests were viewing the feast, 2 huge males ran in from nowhere and chased the youngsters away from the giraffe kill. To everyone’s surprise the males were identified as the 2 remaining Stolsnek males. 
They are in good condition and we assume that they kept a low profile for several months in a remote part of the Kruger whilst the Eastern Bank Males settled down with the Biyamiti Weir pride. Photo by Estiaan Houy."
