For now, they’ve definitely done some damage but it seems survivable, with them resting so close to him, they could keep reattacking him anytime soon. I don’t think they have intentions to kill him atleast yet, not a lot of damage for 3 big males. I think this most likely happened in BRB territory, ever since the new Rongai cubs have been born, BRBs haven’t wandered far, would also make sense for Orkirikoi to find refugee elsewhere atleast for the moment with all the males he’s encountering in his territory.

The vets were called, but with the Black Rockers there, not much can be done unless they are going to tranquilze them all, which in my opinion is the worst option.

They could run them off like they did with the Kaskaz males, obviously I hope they don’t tho.

Yeah... so many people mad at me on Twitter because I am trying to say that it's really not safe for the people, or the lions to run them off.  It sucks, it's a horrible situation, but this is the way of the wild as it's been for centuries.  Yes, it sucks that this is the Mara and lions are dying to people, but it's highly likely the more pictures I see that Orkirikoi has lost the ability to use his back legs.

Honestly I feel some ppl need to get a better sense of reality, and I partly blame veterinary intervention for some ppl to have such mindsets. As I believe @BA0701 was saying yesterday, and u again today, these things aren’t nice to see but it’s how the world works, this is normality. I just seen a few comments talking about why the 3 BRBs haven’t been tranquillised so they can care for Orkirikoi as fast as possible, which in the nicest terms, is crazy as.. I think u know what I mean. U can’t endanger 3 healthy males just for sake of one.

Yeah... Last time they darted Lorkulup it almost killed him.  The vets have already said that they won't do it again, no matter what. Reply
