    The Mapogo lions are the most well-known lion coalitions in history. They became famous for their brutal and ruthless tactics, and how quickly they took over their new territory. They were different to normal coalitions in that they killed just about every lion that they came across. They are the greatest and strongest lion coalition for the reason that they controlled the Sabi Sand region in Kruger National Park. The coalition became infamous for their sheer power and strength in taking over and dominating an area of approximately 70,000 ha (170,000 acres).
    At its peak, the coalition consisted of six males - the leader Makulu (Makhulu), Rasta, Scar, Pretty Boy (Phoenix), Kinky Tail (Shaka) and Mr. T (Satan).
    The Mapogos are legends! The Mighty Mapogos!

      So you just watched it happen but then you say this “is not how lions dispatch their prey”, expert in lion biology? I thought not. They will kill which ever way is the safest and will dispatch they prey by starting at the rear end if they have to. In fact there are lions attacking and eating hippos from the rear end on youtube. So if you’re not an expert, keep your ideas to yourself.

      Also that would have just bid it time (maybe a few minutes or seconds), but it would have still succumb to the pride of lions. The adult hippos were no where nearby and even if they were theres no guarantee they'd come running in to rescue it. So it was dead either way.
