"Male lion stole two impala kills from one of the leopards. Given only a few seconds the leopard (Nyeleti male) managed to claim one of his hard earned meals back and quickly put it up a tree." The lion in the picture is Selati #3  *This image is copyright of its original author another picture of the situation.  *This image is copyright of its original author

Leopard Hills - Ranger's Report May 2013
"One of the Selati males was found mating with one of the Othawa females. The four boys were split up for most of the month, but when they came together again they made a Buffalo kill which kept them in one spot for almost four days. The Majingilane came into the Selati territory, but luckily they didn’t run into each other." Selati 1  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Selati 3  *This image is copyright of its original author Selati 3 seems to have a small wound above his nose (hopefully no one has posted this before, bc i recently found this)

"We had a brilliant morning following the Selati males hunting zebras today." The leader Selati 2 in both pictures!  *This image is copyright of its original author "This was taken at the same time this morning when following the hunting males."  *This image is copyright of its original author
All 4 Selati male lions line up! Back at the time when they were all strong and fit, most likely around 2012.
front to back: Selati 4 - Selati 2 - Selati 1 - Selati 3  *This image is copyright of its original author Another photo that i find in the same website as this one above, probably at the same time, around 2012. Here we have the huge male no.1 in front, and at the back shaking the mane probably Selati 4 by the shape of the muzzle  *This image is copyright of its original author
Back at 2013, the notorious Selati male no.3
This picture was taken at Idube Game Reserve and shows us the majesty of the Selati's at their peak, magnificent male lions, good looking and strong.  *This image is copyright of its original author 
The 4 Selati males on a mission!
lead by the notorious male no.3 and right behind him (front to back/left to right): Selati 2; Selati 1 & Selati 4 I believe this photo was taken around 2013 seeing that all males were with full manes and male no.2 was still alive.  *This image is copyright of its original author (also, I cross out words when I think they are not as important as the other text components)

Selati 2 back in 2011
At that time the Selati males were still nomads and followed the buffalo herds inside Sabi Sand. In mid 2011 the coalition suffer its first lost: their wandering through Sabi Sand brought them to the territory of the Majingilane Coalition. The results of that altercation between the two coalitions was the death of the youngest Selati male.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Photo credits: Gabriela Gabrielarotezora Dietzsch SELATI'S LEGACY
Ximhungwe lioness the last lioness of the pride and, as far as i know, daughter of the Selati males.Because of her face and others aspects i believe she was sired by Selati 3. Ximhungwe female is a warrior just like her father, she has been fighting to keep the legacy of the Ximhungwe pride (and Selatis) alive. Gingerella is part of the Ximhungwe pride and is partner of Selati's daughter, even thought she is Sassy's daughter, Gingerella is not part of the Othawa pride. The Ximhungwe pride is defending their territory very well and are both going to be very agressive towards any outsiders/intruders.

First two photos: Selati 3 | last photo: Selati 4  *This image is copyright of its original author "Although wild lions don’t recognize a person inside a vehicle as prey, we had a couple encounters where the adult male lions walked right by the truck. There was even one time where they made eye contact with me—a very tense moment." Lion in the photo: Selati 4, identified by physique and mane  *This image is copyright of its original author |
