@Majingilane, they returned to Offbeat after being chased by the 4Km males?
Quote:they returned to Offbeat after being chased by the 4Km males? I'm assuming they did, at least so far I haven't seen new updates about how the situation continued. I think the intervention of the 4KM males proved to be very important, otherwise I'm sure they would have defeated Romeo 2 and Mohican.
Nomadic King!
This magnificent male Lion was in the company of another two females who were on a rapid retreat out of the resident prides territory. He would stop every so often to look at his back in case they were being followed. Photographed in the Mara Triangle very close to the Tanzania border, Trans Mara, Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

Joy sons, back in the days when they were in charge of Rongai pride.But who was "Joy" ? Joy was one of the Three Graces from the Marsh pride , back in the days the Three Graces was a satellite group from the Marsh pride , 3 females called Siena , Joy and Charm were not accepted by the main pride until the leader of the pride died (Red the lioness ). Joy gave birth to 4 cubs in january 2011, away from the pride she managed to raise the two boys below to maturity , she gave her life for these two . In the same year , the 4Musketers tookover the Marsh pride and that was probably the end of her cubs but .... she was a super mom

Many of them were poisoned by Maasai cattle herder as revenge to them killing their cattle. Here is a small collection in memory of one of my favorite prides of big cats. Rest in peace, friends." 18 Dec '15  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
Huge male lion from Masai Mara being darted at 02:50 in this clip, said he weighed almost 300 kg. Have tried to reach out to the sky vets for more information.. still waiting, but enjoy the clip, starts of with an even bigger looking male. :)

Yeah thought so too, but since they said "as he weighed close to 300 kg". I found it interesting, but let's wait for an answer. 
His paws are indeed huge, and it would be interesting to see a wild male lion weighing up to 300 kg.
A male lion weighing up to 300 kg ? It would be a giant, titanic, lion... I don't believe it would go unnoticed for a very long time if it really existed .
That said, I'm admiring and impressed by this team vets work.

Nowadays there are rumors that the rangers from SS had their own contribution to the fall of the Mapogos, whose actions interfered too much with their interests. It is much more than simply one "caring more" than the others. In the Sabi Sands there is no human conflict with the cats as in the Mara, hence there's no need to stick their noses where it doesn't belong. Nature takes its course as it always has. As for the "rumors". Absurd theories of fanatics that have too much time available.
