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.

If Magingilane did get help by people; Dark mane male lion is who benefited most. Shame if helped by humans naturally it might have been more male lions with cubs not just one male lion. Mapogos may had more cubs, Selaties, male lions of sand River, Cleo and Solo, I forget what other male lions were around. Dark mane is almost everywhere. Tsalala, Kambula, Styxt, Fourway, Othowas maybe more cubs of scarnose and scar hip or Golden mane.

If I remember correctly that conspiracy theory of Mr T getting darted the night Kinky Tail was killed was dismissed as an old wives' tale cooked up by Mapogo fanboys. The Majingilane males naturally outcompeted the Mapogos, Selatis, Sand River males, etc.

I am not talking just that or specifically. Dreadlocks did get hunted. I would like to not talk about darted of lions. I do not want to talk about the past, but seeing Dark manes face as if the lion did not get help. I think he may of had help from people. I do remember reading an article how they wanted to move the lions. Dark mane also had brothers. You say they outcompeted lions, luck there was so much luck for Dark mane and Magingilane.

That very thing was one of the first things I asked about when I first joined WildFact. After the more reasonable responses I got here, made me realize that narrative was just nonsense.

Yeah if you think about it, even assuming the rangers would do that, which itself seems unbelievable, there's no way Mr T would have been up on his feet and jumping into a fight again so quickly after being darted.

There is not much luck involved if they proactively fight on their terms and don't go all-in if they have no advantage to press. The coalition name reflects that. It's not a coincidence that all 4 dominant Majingilanes died due to age or non fight related injuries.

yes
regardless of reasons he will hopefully rejoin his brothers as soon as possible. It doesnt tend to go nicely when one of them decides to stay by itself.
Kambula K3 by himself "We had a great gamedrive this morning. First of all private we were only two guests in our gameviewer. We spotted pregnant Xidulu leopard beautiful in a tree. She stood up and later climbed out of the tree. Later we spotted mail leopard TP in a tree. He was also relaxing. Several photo's of this strong male with a battlescarved face. We ended our drive with male lion. Our tracker found his tracks and we followed them until we found him"

Extremely rare feat, in and of itself. Given the Magins fighting prowess, even when outnumbered or over powered, lends itself to a high level of intelligence, and ability to strategize through forethought. Once could be chalked up to luck, but when it happens repeatedly, across 4 members of the same coalition, you have to begin looking deeper, there is something else at play.
