the legendary king makhulu, the boss of the mapogo coalition

Mapogos - The Legends.
Its hard to believe that so many years later these males still come up in conversation, wether that is surrounding lion dynamics or social behaviour or purely just an incredible story of them, they have somehow etched themselves into history.
What I have found most interesting was the lessons learned through their behaviour, knowledge that no textbook has taught us, thus making it so incredible to have spent a bit of time with them just like many have in those years.
I took this photo back in 2011 and its hard to think that its been over 13 years since this moment, yet they somehow remain relevant, especially now with so much going on with the Lion dynamics in the Sabi Sand. Large coalitions making waves and creating some concern.
Will we ever see another coalition like this?
馬波戈斯 - 傳奇。
很難相信這麼多年後，這些雄獅仍然出現在談話中，無論是圍繞獅子的動態或社會行為，還是純粹只是關於他們的一個令人難以置信的故事，他們已經以某種方式將自己銘刻在歷史中。 我發現最有趣的是透過他們的行為學到的教訓，沒有教科書教給我們的知識，因此，像那些年裡的許多人一樣，花一點時間和他們在一起真是令人難以置信。 我在 2011 年拍攝了這張照片，很難想像距離這一刻已經過去 13 年多了，但他們在某種程度上仍然具有相關性，尤其是現在薩比沙的獅子動態發生瞭如此多的變化。大型聯盟掀起波瀾並引發一些擔憂。 我們還會看到另一個這樣的聯盟嗎？
