Whats up with their altercation with the Black Rocks?

This, oddly enough, just came out about an hour ago. Not sure how recent, but they seem to be coming along ok. Nothing appears too seriously injured, though it does seem that Osapuk was very lucky to have not had his spine damaged severely. This video also says that this was not the first time that Olepolos had left his brothers during an attack. Perhaps he doesn't share as close of a bond with Osapuk and Orkitok?

Thank you for the update... Also thats really disappointing from Oleopoles, he's my favorite of the 3, I really didn't expect and didn't know about this side of him

Happy to help, I was just thinking about the same exact thing yesterday, and this popped into my Youtube feed today. Hopefully someone who knows Mara lions a lot better than I, might have some insight on the Olepolos (or Olepoles, I am not sure which is correct). I had not heard of him leaving his brothers behind previously, and unfortunately the video doesn't elaborate on when the other time was. These boys have a reputation for being scrappy, so I'd imagine there must be some good reason for it, personally I don't believe it is due to a lack of confidence. Reply
