There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
I posted before of a guy who thinks that Robson males sired Majingilanes, here is a guy who thinks that they are sired by Mazithi/Tshokwane males, fathers of Old Mazithi males and grandfathers of Mantimahles :

It could be also that some of them are sired by different coalition, we dont know if all 5 Majingilanes are brothers, SN, GM and 5th are definetly brothers, and they look very similar to this male on the right.. But DM and HS look different, and are similar to Robson males..

To be honest, I have some Facebook friends that are been following the lion dynamics in the Sabi Sands, Kruger, Manyeleti and beyond for more than 1 decade, As well some rangers that are still working in Sabi Sands, And all of those mentioned above , Not are even sure of which coalition have sired to the Majingilane / Manyeleti boys. Although I would like known the background of the Majingilane coalition in these times it's like finding a needle in an ocean

Its not, because we have pictures of young Majingilanes around Kruger Tablets area when they where young and with the pride.. And we know which coalitions where dominant around that area at that time.. It was these Tshokwane males around Tshokwane, Robson males around Kruger Tablets and old Sand River males around Marula Loop..
Then,I would like think that you have photos of those males with the Majingilane males as sub-adults or cubs to confirm that those coalitions sired to them.

Well obiviously we dont, so as i said, we cant confirm this, but its very likely that some of those coalitions sired them..
Once Were Lions.
The Majingilane have probably been the most successful male lion coalition on Londolozi in the past decade.
Fathering multiple offspring and being dominant over many different prides during their reign, their territory got so big that they were only able to patrol it effectively by continually splitting up, so sightings of the coalition together were rare.
On this morning they were trailing the Tsalala pride, and for a few brief minutes paused to rest on the northern side of the Sand River opposite Varty Camp.

Young and hungry A whole decade ago the Majingilane coalition managed to end the rule of the mighty Mapogo duo of Kinky Tail and Mr T. This shot was taken when they first entered the Sabi Sands, young and full of ambition! photo credit: Nala Africa Tours & Safaris
