In fact, i'd like to say straight that Olbarnoti's descendants (with most of the Bilashakas and Iseketa males) are not my favourites. He was a very successful pride male along with L., but he has so many short-maned sons all around the Mara and they're not the prettiest.

Yeah I'm not sure why a lot of theirbsons have small manes. Theyre all pretty bulky lions just lack in the mane department. These 3 Dikdik boys might have been from Olekiti too, similar to Lerai  1/5 Sankai Boys with the small mane. Its not 100% who sired all 3 as both coalitions were there at the time. Going by looks id say either Olbarnoti or Olekiti.  
Not all Olbarnotis sons have small manes, Doa, RIP,  very impressive male is spitting image of young Olbarnoti. Kibogoyo actually has an ok mane now that it has grown back. Koshoke, IMHO, Its a toss up if he's actually Olbarnoti son. I think he actually looks more like Ololparpit but thays just me.  If we look at Junior, Sala, and Cheza their brothers they had pretty good manes. I wonder if any of their sons had good manes? Reply
