Video Description:
2:11am CAT - For preservation of this event, the first hour is almost continuous live footage. No cuts except for one short one at about 36 minutes in when my recorder shut down and I had to restart it. Also included are some clips of roars heard later after the fight seemed to be over. During the hours prior to the fight sounds in this video, lions were heard roaring at varying distances. Some close and some very far off. Much like any other night when we hear lions roaring. There were occasional Kudu alarms heard as well. Then things went silent for a while before all hell broke loose. Lions believed to be involved were the Majingilane Males (4) and the Mapogo Males (5). Outcome: 1 Mapogo believed killed and one badly injured but survived. Majingilanes came out uninjured. For those that were watching the cam live that night, feel free to add in anything you may remember. www.africam.com - Elephant Plains Game Reserve, South Africa
The End Of An Era

"Returning to the west and joining with the four remaining coalition members Mr.T managed to take the coalition into another battle with the Majingalane males, with a disastrous outcome – only four of the five males returned, one with serious injuries and the eastern territory was lost."
Mapogo coalition –The end of an era: The world famous coalition of 6 males has fallen.

They lived many happy years like that, things begun to change dramatically when five new young males moved into eastern corner of the territory where the two (Kinky tail and Mr. T) of Mapogos were occupy. On afternoon June 8th 2010 the two Mapogos killed one of the new lion group late known as Majingilane males. And later that night one of the Mapogo, kinky tailed was killed and eaten by the remaining four males of Majingilane, in deadly attempt Mr. T failed to rescue his brother and had to run for his life. Upon joining his four brothers in the western sector they set off to face the Majingilane males and that resulted in one male killed and one badly injured. Now they were down to four and few month later one other male disappeared. They trio lived happily in the western sector avoiding Majngilane in the eastern sector of the reserve that was until couple of month ago when a group of four males entered Mapogo’s territory. The first battle on the morning morning of 23rd February 2012 resulted on a draw; both coalitions eventually moved in different direction, one Mapogo came out severely beaten after an encounter with the 4 Selati males.
