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.

I think what might be happening is that the 3 younger brothers just have more ambition to claim more whereas Sekoti, now 9, isn’t as motivated. Last year when they entered Marsh Pride territory and chased away Gaam and Tsunami, Sekoti and Romeo returned to their territory meanwhile Waziba and Pretty Boy II stayed in Marsh Pride territory for days, signifying to me they might be the more dominant males. It’s also assumed the very first litter sired by these boys, cubs from Satau who I’m sure @BA0701 remembers from Savage Kingdom, were sired by Pretty Boy II.
I’m also very appreciative of lions who pay special attention to the youngsters, Lorkulup is one of my favourite lions for that very reason, Makhulu too. As long as the bond doesn’t get completely broken, and I don’t think it will, then Sekoti barring any illness or sudden rapid decline in health will thrive.
As for what territories they could take next, I was thinking M1 and M2, their brothers, are extremely fortunate Marsh Pride territory stands between them and the Northern Alliance. I can’t see many males wanting to see this coaltion at their doorstep.

Those young males are certainly ambitious, and appear top fear nothing and nobody. Sekoti sure has been through some tough times, though.
Wasn't Satau the female who broke away? If so, they almost tried to make her out to be the evil type sister, along the lines of Scar from LK, I never cared for the way they presented that breakaway female. There was also a female who had some cubs, the pride happened upon her den site, and they killed the cubs, but I don't recall which female that was either, I guess it is time to break out my DVDs again, it's been awhile.
Satau was the Northern Pride lioness but I don’t think she ever broke away from Marsh Pride, I don’t think she’s related to them, maybe very distantly through other coalitions many many years before the Selinda boys ended up taking over. Like u said it was weird how she come across in SK, they also made her out to be a threat to Sekekamas existence. She disappeared two years ago I believe.
The other lioness you’re on about is Matsumi. Last I heard, from a year ago, she was alive and mating with either Gaam or Tsunami.
Yes, I too, believe we are talking about the same female. Now I really need to rewatch the show, for context and clarity. But, yes, they made her seem like a threat to the Marsh Pride, and Sekekama, and most definitely Matsumi. I read an article a year or two ago, about how the entire Marsh area had been taken over by humans, and several from the Marsh Pride had been killed, including another famous female. I will see if I can find that as well.

That’d be real useful for me especially, I try to keep up to date with as many of Sekekama and TornNose offspring / former prides as possible but never delved too much into the fate of Marsh Pride or the atrocities that’s happening to it, would be much appreciated!

Having just done a search, it appears I may have had the Marsh Prides confused. As, so far, all I am pulling up is the poisoning of Bibi, and the battle with herdsmen. I have not located the exact article I had read previous, as it mentioned how the Marsh no longer resembled anything in the show, and that people were now where the show lions had been. I will continue to research, and verify if I'm correct, but right now I think I might have them confused.

That would make a lil more sense, ik in the UK atleast there was a big documentary about the downfall of the MM Marsh Pride. I’d never heard of such things happening in Botswana Marsh Pride, just that their numbers had dwindled and ppl believe this was because a lot of the members left with Sekekama and TornNose, although a lot of these members appear to be missing, such as the 4 brothers to M1 and M2.

Having spent a considerable amount of time searching this, I am certain, now, that is what happened, that I got the two Marsh Prides confused. Though, I still never located that specific article, there are countless others describing the same thing. I was unaware of a show about the Mara Marsh Pride, so when they were discussing the show about the famous Marsh Pride, I just figured they must be talking about Savage Kingdom. Apparently the area that the show about the Mara Marsh Pride was filmed in, is now full of people, and in the process many from the pride were killed.
