Throwback to 2010 in the Kruger National Park (With two Legends, Stompie and One-Eyed) and the Sand River males.

Some interesting territorial behaviour we witnessed a few years ago as a coalition of 2 big nomadic male lions (known as Stompie and One Eye) were intruding on the 2 Sand River males' territory in the Kruger National Park.

They isolated 1 of the Sand River males and were following him as he was roaring and scent marking. Eventually an Elephant bull chased and separated the lions and the Sand River male carried on marking and roaring without any incident with the 2 nomads. He was trying to locate his brother as he would be no match for the 2 big nomadic males on his own!

New male Lions in an occupied territory will usually test the strength of resident males first and often avoid conflict initially if the risk is too high! What eventually happened here is that the single Sand River male located his coalition partner and they eventually chased the 2 nomadic males away over the next few weeks.
