LK120, one of the five Lake Quintet males from Ngorongoro Crater. These guys have ruled all the prides in the Crater for 6 years and they are 10 years old.
There’s LK115, LK116, LK117, LK120 and LK121, they quickly gained dominance in the Crater yeaes ago that ultimately led to the takeovers of the Lakette pride, Munge and Mabinti pride, Mabiniti pride currently is the biggest pride in the Crater with approximately 17 members.
The Ngorongoro Crater is currently home of 65-75 lions with eight prides in total. While some of the successive young males left the Crater to frequently push into the Ndutu Conservation area (this had been witnessed with the Munge males and the Lagunita males) - possibly also to avoid the competition with the resident Crater pride males - the majority of the prides is shared between the two major coalitions, Lake Quintet and the Lake Trio.
Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.

Great job u've been doing on this topic. Practically entirely yours lol
are all Saba Bora males still alive? Do u have ID to each male? (same goes to Lake Quintet)
Thanks!
RE: Lions of Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and others) - Brahim - 01-11-2024
@Ngonya I don't have id pics for them yet. But I have updates recently. Bk the most dominate Saba Bora was too aggressive and the other 5 have split from him and one male apparently left the coalition all together and joined another coalition. So the coalition is starting to fall a part. Il try get more updates but this is the last thing I got from Simba last week. Lake Quintet are all alive still and there should be id pics for all will try that some time.

RE: Lions of Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and others) - Brahim - 01-12-2024
Yeah 1 alone. 5 together. 1 joined another coalition. Madelasimba said he's spending the weekend with them and will let me know what he sees now.

Just thought i might have understood lions a little bit something like this baffles my mind.
If the saba boras aren't brothers then i can understand but if they're all brothers and this happens? I am dumbfounded.
I can understand the five splitting from their aggressive brother, but what i cannot wrap my head around is the single brother leaving all of his brothers and joining an unrelated coalition is baffling to me. Weird and interesting i say.
