The Mluwati Male Lions are now with Kumana Lion Pride

The two males arrived in the Mluwati concession (Imbali, Hamilton's, and Hoyo Hoyo) with a bang after they attacked and killed another male in the southern part of the Mluwati concession in September 2015. It's believed the dead male was one of the four Skukuza males. No one knows who they are or where they came from. They are about 12 / 13 years old now and have lost control of part of the Kumana Lion Pride east of the Mluwati Concession Area in Kruger National Park to the Fourways Males.

 

Who will control the Kumana Lion Pride?

The two Fourways males and the Torchwood male currently control the Mazithi and Leeupan lion prides. But in the last few months, they have been pushing further north, being seen in between the S86 and Kumana dam in Central Kruger National Park on several occasions. It appeared they were expanding their territory. The Kumana lion pride was previously controlled by the two Mluwati male lions. The two males arrived in the Mluwati concession area with a bang after they attacked and killed another male in the southern part of the Mluwati concession in September 2015. It's believed the dead male was one of the four Skukuza males. No one knows who they are or where they came from. A couple of days ago, we filmed one of the Fourways males in the company of the Kumana pride and with new cubs. It now makes sense why they were spending so much time further north. It will be interesting to see if the three males manage to keep control of all three prides now that they have an even larger territory to patrol. The blonder Mluwati male appears to have disappeared a while back, with no recent sightings of him in the last year. It seemed only a matter of time before the remaining Mluwati male would lose control of the Kumana pride. He has been frequently seen in the last couple months with several of his eight sons, who appear to have left the Kumana pride as well.

 

Scary. This huge Mluwati Male of The Kumana Lion Pride Lion kept on staring at me while filming him with his Lady friend, the Lioness. Filmed at Kumana dam in Kruger National Park.

 

Mean-looking Mluwati Male Lion

Watch 'Flintstone'—one of the two Mluwati Lion Coalition brothers patrolling his territory. He must be one of the meanest-looking lions currently in Kruger National Park. Just look at his eyes! The two males arrived in the Mluwati concession (Imbali, Hamilton's, and Hoyo Hoyo) with a bang after they attacked and killed another male in the southern part of the Mluwati concession in September 2015. It's believed the dead male was one of the four Skukuza males. No one knows who they are or where they came from. They are about 11 or 12 years old now and control the Kumana Lion Pride east of the Mluwati Concession Area in Kruger National Park.

 

Mluwati Male lion and six of his sons kill a buffalo

Drama, Drama Watch the entire video! Less than 24 hours after killing and devouring a buffalo, the old Mluwati male and his five sons are back at it. This time, it was just instinctual nature. Even though they weren't hungry, they were compelled to hunt when a small buffalo herd approached their domain at the Kumana Dam in South Africa's Kruger National Park.
