The Immortal Mr. T aka SaTan brought death, destruction and conquer at all cost attitude to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, no lion, lioness or cub was safe during his reign of terror. I'm positive no ranger that's been in bush has or will ever come across a male lion like Mr. T so complex and so violent but yet so charasmatic

July 9, 2011 The youngest and arguably the fiercest of the Mapogo Coalition close to our camp this morning looking more intimidating than ever! Some fresh scars added on his forehead from keeping the Majingilane males at bay recently!  *This image is copyright of its original author https://www.facebook.com/LeopardHills/photos/a.109442289118540.12959.109401809122588/177807928948642/?type=3 
Brother Fursan, I need your help. I was debating against this guy on Youtube and he linked me a video where a ranger (back in 2010) said that the gijima male lions at little gowrie challenged the mlowthis by roaring and the mlowathis never replied back. He also said that this was the reason why the mlowathis left djuma. Is this true or what because I have never read any information on this before? I have linked you that video. Watch from 12:00 onwards! Thanks dude!

December 3, 2011@ Inyati Game Lodge
Two of the Mapogo brothers, the elder of the Mapogo PB and the short maned male Mr T have been seen patrolling together, they been venturing to the east of our traversing area perhaps worried about growing threat from the Majingilane Males and the southern males. The third male have been staying behind with Ximhungwe pride, living an easier life taking advantage of the hunting expertise of the lionesses. On return from one of their territorial patrol they killed a sub-adult buffalo and their grown sons, the Ottawa males, who happened to be in the area could only watch from the distance, didn’t brave approaching the elderly boys with their Christmas meal. It does however seems like the two younger males had been responsible for the kill, but then they lost the kill to their fathers pretty boy Mapogo pc Khimbini  *This image is copyright of its original author
Pretty Boy Mapogo Vs Mapogo sons (Othawa Boys)
Inyati Game Lodge: On December 5th 2011 a fight happened between Pretty Boy and one of the Othawa boys, his son. “The been covering the whole of the western sector providing us with lots of actions. On one evening the pride set out for a hunt, one of the Ottawa male saw them and started approaching them, one thing he did know was that one Mapogo (the one that had bent spine) was stalking him. Bent spine leap on to the young male and the young male fought hard the lionesses jumped in to help, at one stage there were four adult lions on the Ottawa male. The fight didn’t last long, the lionesses ran back to the cubs and Bent spine moved back and started roaring. The other two Mapogo were only about 800 metres away they came flying into the scene but everything had calmed down by the time they arrive. The pride had left bent spine and Ottawa males lying about 100 meters apart. We hope he is not badly injured, he did look fine. The brother was seen about three kilometers away from the battle site early this evening.” written by Khimbini Hlongwane Othawa Boys  *This image is copyright of its original author Pretty Boy Mapogo Few Moments Before the Fight  *This image is copyright of its original author
