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.

The people in that group are fanatics of the Mapogo males, included that Jairo Reyes you've qouted in other posts, and they will go to any lenghts possible to put the Mapogos up as if they were some kind of lion gods, so I would be quite weary of the things they post.
the Mapogos have done a lot of things no other coalition has done so far, and it is reasonable to have a distinct place in the History.
Why does it bother you?
SS has seen unprecedented violence, they killed 40% of the lions in SS, they controlled a huge area,
MrT and KT fought several other coalitions, even outnumbered, and won. Is not it something extraordinary.
Of course it is jungle and the stronger wins and this is what happened with the Majingilane.
There is a very sensitive point here. Some lodges feel resentment because the Mapogos killed all their lions and they had no lions to show to their guests, this was bad for their business.
But it is nonsense to blame the Mapogos for that, animals are driven by their wild instincts, they did not do it on purpose to harm their cash flow.
As for the Majingilane, they are a normal coalition, as the most of them. They took first the East, they had cubs, then they lost the East, went to Londolozi, then they lost the Londolozi or they have no interest or the potential to occupy it again, and they moved west. Almost all big coalitions do this, some of them stay in the same place for all their lives and they are not forced to leave. The majingilane have fathered cubs, most coalitions have fathered cubs, the matimbas have fathered about the same. They are normal average coalitions.
The mapogos especially KT and MrT were always on the move to conquer and rule. This is beyond the normal attitude of all known coalitions.
And I believe for these reasons some people consider them as an extraordinary case and for the reasons I described above about the Majingilane the same people believe the Majingiane is an average normal coalition.
What extreme did Majingilane do? Could you tell me?
