Ol' Blondie has had a rough go of it recently. Odd thing is, once the big male begins paying attention to the female, and begins chasing after her, Blondie slowly gets up and begins following them. Given his submissive behavior right before that, I would have expected him to try and put some space between himself and the other lions, not get closer.

Very interesting videos

1-Fang is submissive(How easy a territorial male for years in a difficult place in mara looses his crown in months)
2-Snip Tail kichwa must be dead
3-Kichwa males propably killed Mikia brother of Olalashe some months ago....
4-Kijana dont know what to do...He doesnt have the instict of a territorial male....(If they were 2 lions like Olalashe Fang propably would be dead now)
5-Fang wants to join the 2 lions...He is a a smart guy and he knows that a lone male lion is nt good....
6-I hope that the boys will accept him...It will be good for them....6 Pakers are near to them and they need "paws" to confront them
7-Fang is a big boy but he is old propably 10-11-12 years and the last couple of months were bad for him...Olalashe is in his prime 6-7 years old and is huge

Great explanation of the situation that is unfolding @Mohawk4 , it was helpful and informative. Yeah, I was wondering about Snip Tail as well, for how quickly Fang began to try and join them, I believe you are correct. I think the intelligence shown by Fang in this incident is what I am finding most impressive. You could see Olalashe was even confused, he was pumped up ready for battle, and seemed confused by Fang's response, so he began walking and roaring trying to release the rage he had built up. Incredible interaction. Your video puts things more in perspective, for sure, shows portions of the interaction that we did not see in the first video. I am simply astonished by all of this. Thank you for sharing this my friend! Reply
