Info on the Masek Pride and the Big Marsh Pride
MASEK PRIDE
This pride resides near the Masek Area. It appears that the pride is comprised of three females who have taken interest in the Big Marsh Pride males. They have been witnesses climbing trees in the area and are the only lions in the region to do so .In early December, two females from the Masek Pride were seen with Fluffyless from the Big Marsh Pride. They disappeared until mid February when they were seen again near Lake Ndutu within the Olasiti Pride territory. Again, they were with Fluffyless and his brother.

 THE BIG MARSH PRIDE
This is the largest pride with 16 members including 8 cubs, 6 females, and two males—“Fluffyless” and his brother. The camp biologist originally tallied the pride to 13 members, but in late March, a female emerged with two month-old cubs. They named her, Mama Wawili, which means “Mother of Two” in Swahili. The end of March is a difficult time to be born as soon the migration will be making its way north and the food sources will dwindle. The pride is large and well-established, though.Whitey – the matriarch of the Big Marsh Pride is distinctive in her tawny color, which is lighter than the others.All members of the pride have been seen regularly within the marsh territory. The older cubs were about 9 – 10 months old when the camp biologist first began tracking them and the younger cubs were 5 – 6 months old. The two males typically are away from the group courting females from the Olasiti and Masek prides. Reply
