Story of the Sohobele males
Lions of the past - Legends of Timbavati Throwback Thursday with the old Sohobele male known as Pretty boy with the Sohobele pride including the two young males within this pride (Duma the legend of Balule and his brother). The Sohobele coalition were originally a coalition of four/five males that arrived to Timbavati in 1997 or even a few years before and ruled the Northern half of the reserve, in late 1998 the fourth Sohobele male was being killed by a pride from Kruger. 4 became 3 and then 2. The last two Sohobele males were still dominant in the Northern Timbavati, Unfortunately, Dribbler (the second last Sohobele male) was poached when he ventured out of the reserve into an adjoining area, The last Sohobele male had to hold his territory on his own, the territory of the Sohobele males shrunk and he ended up sticking with only the Sohebele Pride (Although he would still mate with Voel Dam pride and the Jacaranda females) however, He didn't spend time anymore in the south with the Machaton pride. It was in 2009 when the last Sohobele male passed away from old age! Such a legend! Photo credits goes to: @andi.on.tour " target="_blank" class="post_link"> |
