The boys walked 3km toward the Mara river banks... They have taken away Leopard kill. Sharing, lion style. Click on it to play. 
Against the grain.
— Here's another very high ISO (and therefor grainy) photo from our safari on the Maasai Mara last summer. This shot didn't really work in color, but I think it's allright in black and white. With all that noise it feels a bit like it was shot on film. If I'm not mistaken (which I am every now and then) this is a lion they call Notch 2.

This is Notch ll...son of the most famous of male lions in Maasai Mara. Notch raised his five sons to become a forceful army. Their penchant for killing hippos became well known such was their strength and might.
Today, only two of his sons are alive; Notch ll and Caesar. Seeing these big cats on a game drive is a special sighting. Some of my guests have been lucky enough in the past to see four of them together in the same place. One group even witnessing one of their such hippo kills. Their many prodigy are now spread around Mara for generations hopefully. Long may they prosper. Credits to Robin E. Preston  *This image is copyright of its original author

How old are the notches? The last two remaining males must be atleast 10 year olds. How did this coalition whittle down to just two? They seems to be on the same trajectory as the mapogos where they kept losing members as soon they hit around three years of being dominant males. The majinglanes only lost 1 member, and after that they did not lose another member for 6 and a half years, and even HipScar died from old age or there about.

Ceaser is the younger one
Notch2 was not happy this time
