I'm not sure, I haven't read anything about the rivals, it's likely that happened in the night so maybe not even the guides know.

Even blood brothers that grow up in different prides or even are raised up in different litters then become rivals. RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Spalea - 02-07-2018 I just try to (correctly) translate the #1277 post: Et comment Scarface est devenu une légende… (Credits to Tony Crocetta). En septembre 2011, lorsque Scarface et ses trois autres mousquetaires de frères ont déboulé du côté du marais de Musiara pour destituer Clawed et Roméo, alors les rois incontestés de la Marsh Pride (4 Mousquetaires eux même viré d’Ol Kiambo par la bande à Notch !) j’évitais soigneusement, crétin que j’étais, de pointer mon téléobjectif sur celui blessé à l’œil : ça faisait moche sur la photo !!!

Ce n’est pas je crois un crime de lèse-majesté de le prétendre… How Scarface became a legend... September 2011, when Scarface and his three others musketeer brothers appeared into the Musiara swamp side in order to relieve Clawed and Romeo, the undisputed kings of the Marsh Pride at that time , (4 musketeers themselves sacked from Ol Kiambo by the Notch pride !) I carefully avoided, moron that I was, to point my telephoto lens at the one with the eye wounded: it was so awful on the photo ! When I understood my stupid mistake, I gladly stopped myself falling by catching at every new observation. So I was able to build up a richly illustrated Photo library about the most iconic Masai Mara lion. The first photo, this one left, dates from October 2012, i.e. just one year after his arrival into Masai Mara. The last one, you know it, dates from a few days and was taken near the Water Pump Serena, left bank of the Mara river, last January. Notice the small stain right to the iris level, under the still fit king of kings's pupil. You have certainly, once, seen the cult film from Cecil B. Demille "The ten commandments": You must remind Charlton Heston, alias Moses, by touching the sacral, was radically changed at the end of his life, notably with an unruly hairs that became white. That is this idea I desired to share with you, by comparing these 2 portraits, separated by a more than five years period. Even if, to say my whole opinion, Scarface reminds me more to a Rasta god ! This isn't , I believe so, a crime of lese-majesty to claim that. RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Tshokwane - 02-07-2018 Thanks so much for the translation. Merci beaucoup @Spalea .

RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Spalea - 02-10-2018 @vinodkumarn : About #1284: "Blackie and his brother lipstick are still the Kings at ridge pride at 12 years. Long live the king!" Despite their age they are still hale and hearty and this, in a prey-rich area (MAsai Mara...), but in big predators too (other prides of lions), thus the competition is rough. So, well done for the performance and long live the kings ! RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Tshokwane - 02-13-2018 Credits to Maggy Meyer. Today in Masai Mara We found Blackie and Lipstick with their pride. They had a topi kill. Lipstick was not in a good shape. He has a big problem with his front leg and is limping. Blackie was full but not so Lipstick. He looked hungry, maybe he was late for breakfast. At the moment he can not hunt alone. At moment it is very hot in Mara, stormy and dusty! *This image is copyright of its original author
RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Tshokwane - 02-13-2018 Credits to Maggy Meyer. Today in Masai Mara A lucky morning!!! We saw Earless early in the morning before sunrise in his old area. He has an abdominal injury, but he has gone a long way and is fine. *This image is copyright of its original author
RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Tshokwane - 02-16-2018 Credits to Maggy Meyer. Today in Masai Mara We saw Earless with Buddha and another Lion. They killed a buffalo. The other two were in the shadow in the bush an Earless had a lot to do to to chase the hyenas. His leg is much better now! *This image is copyright of its original author
