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.

There is report on fb about fight between Notches boys vs Rongai boys.
Notches defend their territory against invading Rongai males successfully.


Last months, the Notch brothers stay in the lookout area, so other male lions had the opportunity to penetrate in the vast territory of Notches boys.
The Rongai boys targeted a pair of females. This cause hearty and loud roars in the area. The notches came back to their occupied territory and defend it against the invading lions, the notches dominated the uninvited guests and chased them away. Now all is well and Cesar, has mated with the same female that had recently been dominated by one of Rongai boys.

@LionKiss , Long was eldest of all, no one know the exact reason, but in 2013 he suddenly disappear. Either he was poisoned OR he was killed by some other lion

It was great to catch up with the remaining Notch boys aka Ron, Caesar and Notch 2 this morning down at Lookout. Ron has a limp still from his recent injury but it isn't too bad.

This is Caesar, in search of water and shade.

I've always been interested in Notch and his boys's coalition, mainly because of their great size and photogenic looks. Majingliane pride is a second runner up for my favorite lion prides, but the original Notch will remain my favorite lion.

THE RISE OF A TRUE KING
This is the amazing life story of Notch and His sons. From trials and tribulations, Notch overcomes challenges and rises back up to become King. He loses his brother in a fight and facing overwhelming odds of three to one, he decides to save his sons and live to fight another day. People think Notch is dead for two years until her returns, having raised his five sons alone from cubs to now powerful males, now he has his army . He returns back home and this time his sights are not just for one pride but all, he conquers 12 prides out of the 22 in the masai mara, he gathers millions of followers all over the world and he stars in movie as well. Researchers call him the most impressive lion they have seen.
This is the Life research of Notch and His sons


NOTCH LEADS HIS SONS TO CONQUER THE MARA
Notches Conquered Prides 2010-2013
1. Mugoro Pride- Mugoro pride is first to be conquered by Notch, with sons fighting alongside him he easily defeats the two resident male lions, killing one in the fight. He fathers 6 cubs, 4 males and 2 females.

2. Rekero Pride - Fang a star in the African Cats movie by Disney is the male lion defending the Rekero pride aka River pride in the movie. Notch sets to conquer Fang with his son Mighty Long leaving the rest of his sons behind. Notch and Long defeat Fang, who easily surrenders and runs away but Malkia the pride queen refuses to submit and leads the four lionesses of the pride to attack and chase off Notch. He postpones his quest and returns to the banks of the river and roars, calling his other sons for back up. The four boys show up a day later and are soon greeted by their dad, he then leads them back to conquer Malkia’s pride. This time the lionesses are forced to submit as Notch and his sons impose their power over them. Notch fathers 9 cubs, 5 males and 4 females.

3. Paradise Pride – Notch doesn’t take matters to chance anymore by leaving his sons behind, he rallies all five of them and defeats the three male lions defending Rekero. Notch fathers 11 cubs, 5 males and 6 females.

4.  Double Cross Pride – The solitary Lion here runs after seeing Notch and his army approach, the pride is easily taken and the pride lionesses submit. He fathers 5 cubs, 2 males and 3 females.

5. 1st and 2nd Olkiombo Pride – The large Olkiombo pride at this time had split into two groups, the first had 3 lionesses and one male and the other were 4 lionesses and two male lions. Notch and his boys easily conquered both prides fathering 15 lions, 10 males and 5 females.

6. Mayafisi Pride – Notch and Long remain behind as his son Bob leads Notch 2, Caesar and Ron to take over the Mayafisi Pride. With the odds slightly favoring his sons, they defeat the three lions after several hours of fighting. Bob’s lip is clipped in the fight and gets his nickname Grimace. Notch fathers 10 cubs, 5 males and 5 females.

7. Hammer kop Main pride – The large Hammer kop pride like the Olkiombo pride had split into two groups but all were under the rule of four male lions. Notch attacked and a fierce fight began lasting for days as the male lions backed up by 3 lionesses refused to accept defeat. Long pulled out of the fight after picking an injury. And just as it seemed that a stalemate was inevitable, Notch cornered one of the males and killed him, seeing their brother killed and the odds tipped against them, the lions run away and Notch took over the Main pride before conquering the second hammerkop pride. Notch had 9 cubs here 4 males and 5 females.

8. Hammer kop Break away Pride – the three break away lionesses were easily made to submit to the rule of Notch. He fathered 7 cubs, 4 males and 3 females.

9. Rongai Pride – Not much is known of how Notch took over Rongai Pride and how he defeated the two resident male Lions. The five resident females lioness submitted to Notch and he fathered 9 cubs, 4 males and 5 females.
