They took over the pride from Olerai&Olekiti in the late 2010's and after they chased away their subadult sons, the young Sankai boys - who were featured 2 posts above this - immadiately became the dominant force. Although in late 2020 and 2021 they already have started to roamed into the Main Reserve from the pride but then they always still returned to their Sankai's territory if i remember correctly. So, if everything is fixed the 3 Ordikdik boys could took over the pride just at the start of 2022, because there wasn't any clash between the two coalitions, at least there were no news of such a thing. All this happened right after Olope&Olbarikoi already took over Porini and Fig Tree breakaway prides.

As there are many different named "Sankai" prides; Moniko- Sankai, Sankai-Hammerkop (sometimes referred), and I think 2 other "Sankai's". I meant the pride Lipstick2/Blackie2 had which 3 Dikdik boys took back in 2020. I remember vividly and distinctly because it happened around the beginning of the nightmare cv19 bs and the gorgeous Lipstick2 (which your handle is) was never seen again .  My appoligies as I mixed up the 2 pride names but I meant Hammerkop which is also referred to as Sankai or a breakaway of Sankai. The Sankai pride is the most confusing pride  ,IMHO,  I have never been able to get a straight answer as to the correct make up of these prides. I know 4 Lemek Boys also have Hammekop, but it is a very different Hammerkop than the pride Dikdik boys had and Lipstick2/Blackie2 from what I've been told .

You'd be correct. I thought we were talking about ex-Moniko/Sankai pride - I think this is the pride which always refer as the main Sankai for now.
Ex-Rekero Breakaway Boys Blackie2&Lipstick2 were indeed Hammerkop pride males until 2020.
But yeah, Sankais' names are so tough and there are too much confusions about their names which can be easily mixed-up with each other...i think we should call only the ex-Moniko pride as Sankai at this point which were ruled by Olope&Olbarikoi. Reply
