In the low light, a last few golden rays of light struck this male lion’s face as he lifted his head to see what remained of the wildebeest the rest of the Mhangeni pride were feeding on a few meters away.

Update on Mhangeni male
Sabi Sand Notice: Mhangeni Male (Big Boy) Mortality – Northern Lion It has come to the attention of the Sabi Sand Wildtuin (SSW) that there have been some concerns regarding one of the Mhangeni male lions, Big Boy; that was sadly found deceased on the 29th November 2019, in the northern section of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The SSW responded immediately once alerted about the incident and conducted a full field inspection. Furthermore, in conjunction with the Mpumalanga State Veterinary Department, a comprehensive post-mortem was conducted at SSW Head Quarters. The overall feedback from the State Veterinary Department is that the male lion died of natural causes, with evidence of an internal infection which may have been caused by the external fighting wounds present on the male. There was no evidence of any human-related link to the loss of the lion. It is always very sad and traumatic to see a wild animal suffer as a result of sickness/disease, territorial fighting, and other natural causes. According to research, only one in eight male lions are estimated to survive to adulthood, and thereafter still face many survival challenges. (Main, Douglas, 2013) Let us take this time to commemorate Big Boy and honour the beauty and reminders of life that Nature displays to us daily. Kindly share this message with the following hashtag as a way of celebrating Big Boy and his long-lasting legacy - #BigBoyMhangeniLion SSW Management, in conjunction with the commercial lodges will continue to monitor the situation and any other lion mortalities – and keep our members and interested parties well informed.

I am pretty sure older Mhangeni were full maned already long time ago. Are you sure those are them?

This is them, photo is posted today on Facebook, but i think is some archive photo from few years back, not recent. On this photos they still have mohawks like some 4 yrs old males, they are almost 7 yrs old, no way this is recent. This is prob from around 2017 by my judge.

La foto fue tomada en septiembre del 2019, creo que el macho en la parte posterior es el macho Mangheni, los machos pierden melena debido al estrés, y el socio bigotes son casi los mismos |
