RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Lipstick2 - 03-28-2024
Chongo, he's the beautiful image of Lolparpit.

Amazing! So seems Oolomnyak aka Acatia Big Boy i guess left his 6 brothers unless he's just taking a stroll with Rekero Beakaway Boy. He needs a name.
RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Redroadmale - 04-03-2024
Where are the 3 moniko/sankai male because olchore and kijana is in their core territory for multiple days now.
RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - BA0701 - 04-05-2024
An injured Dada, leader of the famous Marsh Pride, was found alone, by the River Line Pride, in their territory. Those males from the River Line Pride look young, but those are some big boys.

Lemoniko was spotted today in Rongai Pride territory, seen reports that Lorkulup chased him away.

Lemoniko fue visto hoy en territorio del Orgullo Rongai, y se han visto informes de que Lorkulup lo ahuyentó.
There are more than reports, there are videos.
RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - BigLion39 - 04-06-2024
Lemoniko and Lorkulop were on basically the fringes of each territory. Im sure they meet all the time and chase each other as they are border territories. Lorkulop did a good thing tho.
Not looking good for Lenchada. 3 weeks missing. Where is Kilya? And i heard Olchorre/Kijana killed all the Rekero cubs. Very NOT good.

Kilya was seen with Lemoniko a few days ago. He had pretty bad injuries on his spine. Definitely from the jaws of other males. Thank God they aren't life threatening and he will survive but he's lucky. I know Kijana/Olchorre were in Rekero territory but im not sure if they had any fighting injuries. Not looking good for Lenchada as time is passing. All the cubs in Rekero are dead except for 1. I was told they were gone before Kijana/Olchorre showed up. Not sure why.
Kitchwa Boy Olbarani is still missing leaving his best buddy Marsh Boy Orkirikoi to protect all those brand new little cubbies with their moms and aunts. Hope he pops up.
A very reliable source was viewing the Lemek Pride and they heard the roars of 2 males close by but couldn't see them. Its possible they were Oronkai and injured Osidai, maybe.
A few days later Oronkai was id'd in a pic taken in Mara North.
1/4 Enkoyunai Boys Lenkoe was seen alone close by the Offbeat Pride while his 3 brothers were with the River pride. Later on, while a safari was viewing the Offbeat Pride, Kini, Seenka, and Lemurt were roughly 500m away up a forested hill behind them. Crazy how no lions noticed the presence of each. No Pride males were present. So seems while 4 Enkoyunai Boys are hanging with River Pride full time they left Offbeat with many cubs to fend for themselves basically. That why we have 3 Sankai Boys on the verge of taking Offbeat and we have Osupaat and Enkoyunai Pride inside MNC in Offbeat territory as they were pushed out of their natal home by cattle and Herdsman.
I was informed 4 Enkoyunai Boys keep killing their own cubs in the River pride for some reason. They must not recognize them for some reason.

RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Lipstick2 - 04-13-2024
And today they intruded further down into OMC(!) and caught up one of the Enkoyonai subadults, 1/2 sons of Osupaat.
They indeed switched and went into extreme killer pace to knock down half of the Mara...
As it's known, Enkoyonai core pride recently went to MNC from OMC with the leading of Osupaat - probably away from HWC and 4 Lemek boys' threat - and since the current Offbeat pride males/4 Enkoyonai males haven't been spent so much time there, it could be a safer place for them. However, as it was said, today's affair was in 4 Lemek boys' territory for accuracy, as the 2 young Enkoyonai subadult males spent most of their time there, so if it wasn't chaotic enough until now, this complicates the situation further...

This is the young male they caught up:

Good news they let him away to escape.

For now, Offbeat pride could be on their main radar, especially with 4 Enkoyonai males absence, so their cubs are being in extreme danger. But now the surrounding groups like Enkoyonai and Sankai (their native) prides are also could be in trouble. After killed at least 2/4 ex Iseketa/Mara North Males and probably they finally ended that once very strong but now aging coalition, Lemek would lies at their feet completely...But i think they don't want to take back their formerly owned pride for something, so they went further into MNC. As i thought, 4 Enkoyonai males are could be very difficult for them, but if they stay around River pride probably they don't want to take any risk against with these 3 fellas. Especially if they aren't so smart and come back as only 1 or 2 males (like Lenkoe at last time) and they also would be caught by the Sankai Boys very easily.
Btw, these males lost Lemek as a 5 young males coalition to the 4 MN males 2 years ago, but now they have absolutely found their balls and challenging larger males groups as only 3 males coalition...
RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Mapokser - 04-13-2024
These Sankais are absolute beasts, ver impressive, especially Seenka, what a mane he has.
RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Lipstick2 - 04-13-2024
Here is a video of they let this young male alone to escape - he was very lucky (if he wasn't injured seriously).
Once again, this is already the territory of 4 Lemek boys, as it's assumed...neither Mara North Males' nor 4 Enkoyonai males' surely this is a third different big coalition with whom they would drew a finger.

So what happened originally in March was 3 Sankais went through Lemek onto the Border in MNC to visit a small breakaway pride named Buibui which they hanged with before MNC Boys pushed them all the back and out of Lemek a few years ago. 4 Enkoyunai Boys found them (Buibui is a breakaway to either Acatia or Serian and close to the main pride) and chased them back to Lemek in which they found Ntui and killed him. Then they ran into Osidai. They then left back into Olchorro. They then ran all they down into MNC where they had another small tussle with 4 Enkoyunai Boys, they chased back and forth and somehow 3 Sankai were pushed South into Offbeat somehow. A week later we see them at the border of OMC and MNC at Levy Crossing (this is more Oldikdik pride area, borders Hammerkop territory with MNC and Offbeat pride) where they found 1/2 Osupaat sons. So im not sure 3 Sankai originally were trying to expand although thats what it seems now that 4 Enkoyunai Boys don't really check up on Offbeat. Lenkoe does here and there but thats not enough to keep other males away. 3/4 MNC Boys didn't expect the Sankais to pop up like that from the opposite direction and weren't on their game leading Oronkai being possibly the last man standing.
Now 4 Enkoyunai Boys know the presence of the Sankais and should be on alert. Theres 11 lionesses in Serian Pride so they've been keeping busy. I think thats how 3 Sankais were able to sneak right through those areas. Enkoyunais don't even visit Acatia too much now either.
I got this info from a guide Junior who traverses Offbeat, MNC, and Lemek.

There are many lionesses but River and Serian prides should be enough for the Enkoyonai boys, because these are potential promising areas. On the other half, with the potential leaving of Sankai Boys and with the demise of MN males - except a lone aging Oronkai most probably - could result a large vaste area in the north -Lemek,Olchorro,Enonkishu- without any male coalition forces to be reckone with.
