To be honest all the Black Rock Boys have shown great powers of recovery. Lorkulup as we know was speared and recently fought off the effects of a presumed snake bite also with assistance from Mara vets. Oloimina was scrapping with the seasoned warrior Jesse and holding his own when he was only 4 years old! Oloshipa I would actually say more of a mental resilience as the loss of Olobor must have been even more difficult for him to come to terms with they shared such a close bond. I’m sure Oloisiadu would have been equally as impressive had he still been with us.

It is such a shame that those animals in the Mara have such little representation. A natural treasure, that is openly being attacked. I would have expected the exact opposite, given they are surely the number 1 cause of tourism funding. Seems people can break whatever laws they wish, trespassing and poaching, while nobody (or clearly not enough) is doing anything to protect the very thing that gives so much to the entire area. I do, very much, appreciate the efforts of the veterinary staff down there, though, for sure, theirs is a thankless job, that so few even know is taking place.

Same thing has happened in the Great Marsh, where Savage Kingdom was filmed, I read an article that the entire area where that was filmed has since been taken over by illegal villages and encampments, it is all gone, and many of the lionesses of the legendary Marsh Pride were killed by those people.
