How old is he exactly, 14,15?

I noticed that Mara lions usually have a bit longer lifespan then Kruger lion (ofc those who make it to old age ), is it purely because they treat them?

I also notice that there is way less sick lions then in Kruger, looks like disease's like TB and similar are not as common there.

14-15 was the general age I saw given to him throughout 2022. My knowledge of the older lions in the Maasai Mara isn't great so I don't wanna give an incorrect precise age on the old boy. I'll ask around and see if I can get a more definitive birth year for him.

He is 16, born January 2007.

No, they were born in the first half/early of 2008, so yes - as BigLion39 has said - he will be 15 recently.

I think, Mara lions also make it to such an old age rarely. But yes, there were some exceptions from the recent old absolutely successful coalitions like the Notches (Notch2), Musketeers (Morani here) and Lolparpit&Olbarnoti. If everything is correct, these specimens made it to their 15, but it isn't general in the Mara too, because most of them die before this. For example the 4'km males also were a very succesful colaition, but they lived "just" 13. Reply
