Snyggve’s death has hit mainstream news, and “Serengeti lion king” is now a trending Google search.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-64938816 There will apparently be a special burial organised by wildlife officials soon.

I've read a lot of outrage over the people that filmed this not stepping in to save him. It's just not how conservation works. I would love it if some of these people were able to wake up to the realities of humans that actually do intervene, and how harmful those people are. Punishment for Poaching should be barbaric in nature. 
Would anyone that's familiar with the coalitions in the Serengeti, happen to have any information on this particular group of male lions? They're stated to be the individuals that killed Snyggve and his bother.

Their name is (if I can remember correctly) 7 Beton Kopjies boys or something to that effect. Sorry, I knew i should have screenshotted the post.

But I don't believe everything I read on the internet. They have moved into the pride left by Bob and Marley though from what I've seen. This is them moving in to claim it. 
Homage to Snyggve with footage of his last fight in its entirety: his attempt to defend himself, the battle, the fatal injuries and his heartbreaking last breaths... Rest in Peace

Is "Lionlovers" made up of actual guides? I'm not sure guides would give a name like that, names like "Lionlovers" and BK both sound more like a group of adolescents with nothing better to do.

No, the 'Lionlovers' Twitter account is ran by someone from the UK, I believe. We've exchanged numerous information for a while now and nothing has made me believe that he/she is just a kid with nothing better to do. The provided text in the post was directly from the individual (Chabaporini IG) that filmed the encounter between the male lion and female lion. I'm going to add a link to his post if you want to independently verify the text yourself.

Well I can say I certainly find that surprising, thank you for the clarification, and for clearing that up on LionLovers, that helps a lot. Apologies to LionLovers for my poorly directed comment. |
