To clarify one thing: there are currently 4 young Jock males in a coalition? 
Because I see only three in that picture..
There are three of them, as the fourth coalition member was killed when he entered the Berg-en-Dal rest camp...

Any news about Mbilu? A lot of blood on Pretty Boy.. 

Toya us a monster, 1 vs 1 Toya vs Mo would be epic, both sired prob by the same male, both biggest between brothers and very similar in face.

I dont understand how they manage to catch Mbilu, as he already run away much before they started chasing Mo who was with female to the end, on that video..

I wondered the same thing, too. Maybe it's because Mbilu was not fit due to his swollen shoulder (abscess) injury thus wasn't able to run fast. 

I really hope the Mjejane males wouldn't find Mo. Mo needs to move far away from them. But it's sad to know he is now alone.

Toya has the experience on his side, Although that's true, Mo is a big young male

Mo has moved really quickly while the Mjejane were still resting after/before caught to Mbili. This morning, two of the Mjejane males were sniffing the grass and air looking for the Vurhami male/s

That only makes sense, that Mbilu cant run fast because of his swollen shoulder..

Actually I spoke to someone who works around the Mjejane Game Reserve earlier today. He said that he hopes to upload his own video of the events because he was there when it happened.

Theres 3 lone, older males there, Kumana and separate Shishangaan males, so they might be in big trouble.

Desctription under the video:

Yesterday we awoke to some intense male lion vocalisation along the Crocodile River, Mjejane Game Reserve, Kruger National Park.

Lions were running all over the place, most of the time in thick bush making it difficult to capture, here is the story and some footage of the events.

We first heard a male lion roaring intensely on the Kruger side of the Crocodile River. We went to investigate and found the dark maned dominant Mjejane male looking rather agitated. We then heard via the radio that his 2 brothers were already on Mjejane Game Reserve and had been found not far from the the 2 Vurhami males who were still with the lone lioness.

The bigger Vurhami male aka "Mo" had apparently been roaring that morning and had attracted the attention of the 3 Mjejane males. He possibly thought that they were not concerned about the Mjejane portion of their territory after being absent for months in Kruger with their other prides. He was very wrong indeed! It seemed the inevitable confrontation that had been delayed for months was about to happen.

The 2 lighter maned Mjejane males were there first and found the Vurhami males and the lone lioness. The oestrus scent of the lioness must have escalated the situation as the Mjejane males were infuriated! The smaller Vurhami male aka "Mbilu" ran for his life while "Mo" looked apprehensive to run but reluctantly followed, sensing the weakness in his brother who was still recovering from his shoulder injury.

The 2 Mjejane males were in hot pursuit, we presume that the 3rd dark maned Mjejane male had joined them in the pursuit after high tailing it at top speed from Kruger when he heard the commotion.

They eventually caught the smaller Vurhami male in some thick bush and we could only hear the commotion as we presume they broke his spine and he succumbed to his injuries. The bigger Vurhami male must have been very close by and unable to do anything to save his brother. The 3 Mjejane males then emerged with blood on their faces in hot pursuit of the bigger Vurhami male.

Something must be said about the character of the bigger Vurhami male, he was scent marking and roaring defiantly as the 3 were on his trail. Eventuallly only the 2 bigger Mjejane males carried on with the pursuit but they tired and the Vurhami male made his escape. The smaller maned Mjejane male gave up the pursuit early on and doubled back to try his luck with the lone lioness who had followed behind all the commotion.

The look of the dark-maned Mjejane males is intimidating! What a beast

Yep, Toya, massive male, and he is also few meters behind vechicle, so he appears even smaller then he would be standing next to vechicle..
