You can not belive what amazing thing keep happening in wild, specially lion coalition, it is more complex than what we have ever thought. If you know Notches, Probably you also would have heard of Earless, 3.8 year old male lion, He was recently chased away out of his pride by famous notch's boys. Also, Notch boys chased the 12 year old look out male (I don't know when and if really chased by notches).
What amazing happened is that these 2 nomadic male lion of completely different age formed a odd coalition.
I think its kind of first verified coalition of males, What do you think ?

Further, Time will tell if Young earless starts a coalition with his 4 younger brothers as the old male is in his last years .The age difference is immerse. Previously the old male lion was mistakenly thought of Ron.
The old male most likely mate earless mothers, aunties and sisters as well.
Earless and younger brothers have to move somewhere else away from their marten, all pride were the pair is currently to find different females.
Plus the Mara is now a place for large male coalitions . Large coalitions will trash out the 2 males easily .And that's were it gets complicated a bit and if the 4 original Notch sons Ron , Bob ,Notch 2 and Caesar come back from neighboring look out pride, again they will chase the pair off.
There is not doubt that Earless is a huge lion, at 3.8 he is probably even large than his new 12 old mate.
