" Black Rock boy Olobor is the most agressive male lion in mara reserve, the Black rock boys were born in black rock pride in august 2017 at the time they appeared as cubs in Safari Live, the best friend of Olobor was Oloisiado but unfortunately he disappeared and Olobor and Oloshipa became loyal friends its curious but Olobor means the calm one and he is the opposite, nobody knows what the next move of Olobor, for now he and his brother are trying to expand the territory, Olobor and Oloshipa are always on patrol, thanks to them Rongai pride and the other 2 brothers are living a calm life with no worries of intruders, these 4 brothers already appeared on a documentary i think its Brotherhood of Lions.

Seemed to still have a very blonde mane for majority of this video despite how aggressive I’ve heard he is, obviously it’s darkened since but just something I’ve picked up on. Obviously one of the first things u learn about lions is the darker the mane, the more seemingly aggressive but there’s been a few cases I’ve seen where a blonder male has been just as if not more aggressive than the resident darker-maned males.

One of the researchers on Brothers in Blood mentioned that darker maned males have higher testosterone levels, generally speaking of course. We all know how testosterone can affect aggression. Though, I think at the end of the day, lions are lions, and aggression is in their DNA. Even in that regard you have your outliers, like Dark Mane who was possibly the most chill lion I have ever seen, but he could still turn it on when needed, just ask the young elephant who tried to charge him.
