    Great footage, l can never get enough of the legendary Mapogos. It seems to me that all 6 of them bonded in 3 pairs. T with KT the most obvious. Then you see Big Mac always with PB. Finally you would see Dreadlock most of the time with Rasta. Very interesting dynamics as they were heartbroken when the other died or was killed.

      That's not actually accurate.
      Mr.T and KT were more often together because they were littermates. Rasta's twin was PB so just like the younger twins, they were often together and were separated from the other 3 when Rasta died and PB returned with serious injuries.

      @@reinsaxony4623 This largely. Rasta and PB were often together because they're twins. Makhulu is often associated with PB the most because they lived the longest and because after Dreadlocks, Rasta, and KT died, a lot of footage of Makhulu, PB, and Mr. T was taken. In actuality, it was Makhulu that really bonded amongst all his brothers and Dreadlocks was probably the same, although he maybe bonded more with Rasta and PB because they were closest in age.

    Out of all the Mapogos, Rasta is the one you least want to mess around with. He's one of the most aggressive lions and just a vicious fighter. What he you lacks in size he makes up in aggression. He also has huge forearms which almost make it impossible to roll him on his back. The only mapogo to beat out Makhulu for mating rights, which is not an easy feat.

    Rasta was the twin (monozygotic) of Pretty Boy (they were like two drops of water). Mr. T and KT were dizygotic.
    I say this because watching the video it seems that the twins were Rasta and Dreadlocks. Although since they were only two months apart, they also had a very strong bond.

    • @reinsaxony4623
      @reinsaxony4623 2 года назад +3

      I didn't even know lion twins could be monozygotic, but I doubt Rasta and PB were. I've seen 2 different rangers in 2 different occasions be unable to tell if Rasta was indeed Rasta or if he was Shaka, both were "this one is either Shaka or Leonide".
      KT resembles Rasta more than Rasta resembles his own twin.
      Perhaps when they were younger they looked more alike, but once they fully developed their manes, they surely did not looked the same.

    I would of haves like to see some videos of Dreadlocks and Rasta hunting it seems they were the ones with the less video. They might of had a stronger bond than what they say about Rasta and Pretty Boy. It seemed that they were mostly always together maybe in between Mr.T and Kinky Tail, and Pretty BoY and Makulu. I think their bond special bond as brothers twin brothers or not they were born together, but it seems they are just like human, Rasta problobly told Pretty hey bro I am going with my friend my cousin Rasta and Pretty Boy told Rasta I am staying here with his older brother they prefer to stay closer to home. Then if anybody messes with them they call eachother. I wished we knew what happened that night Mr.T went back with his 4 brothers to get revenge. Did the rangers stop them is what people belive. Or it was just simply a split agin between Pretty Boy and Rasta that became 2 vs 4 again. Verry strange. Also the sons of blonde fought the Mapogo sons more conspiracies I’ve herd is they hated the Mapogos when they killed Blondie. I wonder if they would make the Mapogos sons disappear.

So yes man did kill nearly all of the mapogo offspring !

      The reason you see some of the not so much talked about relationships between the brothers ( Mak and Mr T , Dreads and Rasta , Mak , Mr T and Pretty Boy ) are because at times all of the brothers patrolled alone for long periods and while this was happening there was film taken with the odd pairings of the brothers . And for many of us it's the first time we've seen it ! I was surprised to see how affectionate Mr T was with Mak when pretty boy and KT werent around ! And remember Pretty boy was on his own when jumped by 4 lion and nearly killed . When Mak and Mr T saved him ! So I think at any time one or more of the boys were missing from the line up ! Peace be safe !

    The title name is wrong. Rasta and dreadlock is the same lion. Scar is the name of the other lion, he had huge noticeable scar on his hip. Makulu, Pretty boy, Scar, Dreadlock/Rasta, Kinky Tail, and Mr. T.
