The alpha male moon wrasse is brightly colored. Some moon wrasses live in groups consisted of a dominant male, and a "harem" of about a dozen other wrasses, some female and some male.

The Mapogo lions followed a recent trend in the Sabi Sand Reserve of mega pride male lion coalitions. The five related brothers were sired by a similar mega pride coalition of five male lions. [6] In their quest to dominate the area, the six lions killed approximately 40 other lions which included many cubs, females, and rival adult males. [7]
