The 3 big Sankai Boys who were expelled from Lemek Conservancy by the 4 Mara North Males 1,5 year ago then tried to live a quite restrained life in the sparsely populated Enonkishu and Olchoro Oiruwa Conservancy, now probably decided to demand back Lemek as their own from the MN males after they collected some confidence and now are in their absolute prime with their 7 years. As MN males will be 10 this year, their age probably starts to show on them slowly, especially with one of them still wasn't confirmed detected for months now so this could be a harsh rechallenge to them against these 3 larger, younger and now stronger males.
These current sightings show the big brothers intruding to Lemek and make known their presence for sure.

Then they're a bit scattered and remarkably walking and running all around their rivals territory

Interesting to see what would be the outcome of the potential clash between these two great coalitions.

And here is the result of this...
It was confirmed that 1/4 ex-Iseketa/ex-Offbeat/Mara North Male Ntui was killed by these 3 Sankai Boys Seenka, Kini and Lemurt exactly in their Lemek territory.

It is said that it happened on Wendesday late evening and on the next morning the 3 Sankai boys were seen moving away from the area. Kini had some facial scratches. Ntui was beaten up badly and the vets were to come yesterday but they couldn't find him. Assuming that the Sankai Boys were back to finished him off on Thursday night as a lot of commotion was heard at the time. 

So, the once 4 Mara North Males' coalition was down to 2 males as Saruni also wasn't seen since months now...Probably he was killed by these 3 as well. Only Osidai and Oronkai still standing. 

At the same time, from the other side the 3 Sankai boys took a serious revenge on them. By now they executed 2 of them after they also lost 2 of their brothers - Merrinyo and Lerai - probably by the hand of their 4 older rivals in the last 2 years. So they've collected so much confidence for now to took revenge on them.

It is also a good question what will happen to the Lemek pride and Conservancy in the near future, as they have cubs from the MN males and i doubt the last 2 aging brothers (they'll be 10 this year) could stand against these 3 strong, vengeful and slightly younger brothers now. Reply
