The Mantimahle Males
|
From Lion Sands Game Reserve blog:
One of the older females also died in early 2017, and one of the Mantimahle Males has since split from the other four. This has left a pride of four Mantimahle Males, four females (two about five years old and two between 12 and 14), and 10 cubs between seven to 14 months old. I am assuming that "split" implies he is alive but has gone his separate way. (08-21-2018, 09:32 PM)Matimbalani Wrote: From Lion Sands Game Reserve blog: Similar to Nduna of Matimbas 
Mantimahle males when they were young males.
Incredible Lion Sighting ! Lion Pride with 5 Males walking down the road in Kruger Park. As you can see in the clip I was completely alone and this was the first time I had witnessed anything like this and to see how big these beautiful big cats were up close was insane and a once in a lifetime moment! As you can tell by the commentary I didn't know what to do? Start the engine and close the window or drive off? Im glad I froze and stayed and continued filming and my friends think my actions and commentary are hilarious!" This is just a short video to show how a pride of Lions strolled right past a tourists' vehicle in South Africa's Kruger Park. Amazing sighting and experience !

They’re probably looking to move in sabi sands for another pride, and if they do the lion dynamics will change completely.

It looks as if the Manti's are patrolling in a group of three. I hope the rumor about the death of the fourth is false, but like BBoys most of the media seems to show only three.
Rumors that the rumors may be false have been circulating too! Big on Wild published another shot of the big Mantimahle boy with a lioness yesterday October 20, 2018.

Four Mantimahle males recently photographed in Kruger National Park. The near full force of the powerful Mantimahle coalition is in showcase. The most powerful force in the area is on the move. Are they mobilizing towards a confrontation?
