There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Are Kaka and Maridadi still alive?
Maridadi is noway as he vanished in the Autumn of 2021 and Kaka also hasn't been seen in this year (hopefully, he is just out of sightings and be somewhere in the Mara or Serengeti).
But they already haven't been belong to these 'old generations' neither, as they were too young to this (were born just in 2012 and 2013). Their fathers - the 4'km males - were belonged to these Old Legendary Coalitions, not them. Mara's old legends and coalitions used to be the ones who were born in the late 90's or 2000's and ruled the Mara for many years in the 2010's and already in the 2000's - so the Notches, the 4'km males, Lolparpit&Olbarnoti and their 3 half-brothers from the old Ridge Pride (Cheza, Sala and Junior) and their fathers the Old Ridge Pride Males, then the next Ridge Pride dominant males-Naengop&Olchore, the solo Boxernose (then Earless's coalition parnter), the Old Sand River Males, the ex Marsh Pride Males Romeo&Clawed (and their 3rd brother) after the Notch-era and before the Musketeers, the Old Oloololo Males, Bob&Ziggy Marley and their 2 brothers, Jamal&Akiki&Joshua (old Cheli pride males), etc etc. Furthermore, maybe we can list here Romeo2&Mohican, and the 4 Musketeers too, as they also were born in the late 2000's. Most of these males and coalitions were from mid 2000's and some of them ruled the Mara for over 10+ years and their offsprings and more generations of their bloodlines are living through whole of the Mara now.
I think, the last males who can be part of this elite group from the 2000's were Lolparpit&Olbarnoti OR the Musketeers if we count them here as they were born in 2008. If so, the last remaining living member in it is Morani (the last Musketeer) with his 15 years now. What a legend! Only Lolparpit&Olbarnoti and Notch2 reached such many years of age in their lives in the recent times.
