Only thing that I've read online that people agree on is it is a cleft pallet, like a birth defects and was born with it. I don't consider it a defect for him but more like a moniker!!! It gives him character!!! Supposedly he's dealing with the quintessential lion rear hip injury currently. Im waiting to see some rescent pics of him as I haven't in a while!

That is exactly why I asked, because it indeed looks just like a cleft pallet, and if it is it'll be the first I have heard of in a species outside of humans. Not saying it doesn't/can't happen, I have just not heard of it. Thank you for that! Do let us know if you get any news on these boys, thank you my friend!

Slit Lip was seen today making babies with a lioness. Ill post up the pics shortly. 
 I wanted to post this pic of Spearboy taken a few months ago while he was enjoying a meal with the 2 aggressive East Lookout males Spikey and Enkuroto! Hes a lucky boy case those 2 boys don't play!

What happens with the link that I am not able to open the pics?


RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - afortich - 07-07-2022

Never mind. I was able to see the pictures from my phone. 
It seems my computer may have a filter that don’t let me open them Wink

He's definitely a monster, massive compared to that lioness.

Also great about Spearboy, he's had such a rough go of things, he could use some good things to happen for him. Thanks for the update!

is there a map of masai mara with territories of the differents prides and coalitions that control them?


I don't think there is a current map. I do remember seeing a map once before but I don't think its anything like these fine gentleman on the forum make for Sabi Sands and Kruger. You can check on the Mara Preddtor Conservation Program page.


Thanks

little scuffle between the current enkoyonai pride males (Osupaat and Nyekundu, Kaka and Maridadi's sons) and the dikidiki pride during a take over earlier this year

I find that they have become more physically impressive than their fathers

I agree! In a short few months of 2021-2022 These 2, especially Osupaat have become hugely impressive! Nykendu always had a more gorgeous mane than his bro. Now imho Osupaat has caught up! Big black, dark manes on these 2.
