During the early hours of the 8th, the two Mlowathi boys caught up with the five intruders, and started a battle that would last two days. The brothers attacked the Kruger Park lions, who then very quickly took off. The older, darker maned male was caught by the two dominant lions and severely mauled. His leg was broken and spine snapped, and he died from his injuries a short while later. They then roared their dominance out across the frosty morning before finding some shade to rest in. 8日凌晨,两名穆洛瓦提男孩追上了五名入侵者,并开始了一场持续两天的战斗。这对兄弟攻击了克鲁格公园的狮子,它们很快就逃走了。那只年长的、鬃毛较黑的雄狮被两头占统治地位的狮子抓住,严重受伤。他的腿断了,脊椎断了,不久就因伤死亡。然后它们在寒冷的早晨咆哮着,直到找到一个阴凉处休息。
