Rongai youngsters. Thought the sighting of two groups of Rongai Pride hunting two buffalo just some metres away from each other was real cool, especially as they both looked to be successful hunts. When these boys eventually get ousted I’ll hope they can survive being nomads, but it won’t be through lack of food, just more so avoiding dominant males.

How old is Olonkera, and how old is his brothers? Mane development would suggest they are near the same age, but the difference in size, which is quite notable, would suggest there is, perhaps, a 2 year gap between them.

He either turned 3 last month or the month before. After him there’s Kidonge’oe (snipped tailed youngster) and another brother who guides have started refer to as ‘Cheema.’ They’re both the same age, then u have another 2 males who seem even younger. Prolly ranges from a year to just under a year and a half in age difference. Reply
