Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara

This is sad update from The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

Update - Marsh Pride Lions
This morning KWS Vet Dr. Limo, who operates from the DSWT funded Mara Mobile Veterinary Unit, was forced to make the difficult decision to euthanize Alan, the sub adult male cub of Charm. Alan had been recuperating from poisoning and his health was being monitored, however overnight he was badly aggressed by a herd of buffalo and the injuries sustained were too severe for any hope of a successful outcome in the informed opinion of Dr. Limo. Thus, the very sad decision was taken to euthanize him to cease any further suffering. An autopsy revealed multiple serious wounds to the lungs and liver, along with a multitude of other injuries, which had made saving him impossible.

Sienna remains unaccounted for and we are forced to assume that she was the lion whose remains were reported to have been found, as she has never before been absent from the pride for this length of time. Sienna had healed well from her most recent veterinary treatment by the Mara Vet Unit, as evidenced in this photograph taken at the end of October, by Moses Manduku, where she is tackling a buffalo.
Sienna had overcome insurmountable odds on many occasions, but devastatingly, her story does not appear to have a happy ending.

I am very upset with this news, Never thought of such popular lion pride will leave us  like this . Reply
