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 have no idea. They had so much prides on their time that they left some behind, and moved on to others.

Even more so, Mara lions behave somewhat differently than SS lions, they don't seem to be so attached to their territories and rather prefer to stay more with certain prides.

So, right now, I'm not sure which prides he still controls.

That's always a possibility. Still, it needs a lot of things to happen at the same time.

The downside he has is that he's much older than his father when he did it.

Notch 2 distance himself from intruders in Notch territory
+++Since his brother Ceasar disappeared young lion males are trying again and again to penetrate the Notch territory.. Yesterday morning Yellow and Barnoti were seen at Lookout. Barnoti alreday mated with one of the females few weeks ago. Now everybody is asking where Notch2 stays and how he will react in this situation?
We found Notch2 yesterday late afternoon with the females and the kids in good health quite far from the intruders. Obviously he is not looking for a fight and doesn’t risk to endanger him and his pride.+++

Notch grandson Earless and probably the son of Ceaser. He is one of the biggest lion I have ever seen (in photos at least)

I have been thinking Earless is likely son of Notch himself.

earless is a son of notch, when notch and sons took the rongai pride the first time and when notches sons came back to the pride the 2nd time he was expelled by the notch2 and brothers! cause earless younger brother look like ceaser and ron!

What an excitement it was when Alfred spotted one of the famous male lion in the Mara,Notch 2,that he has been missing for a while this afternoon on his evening drive with his guests.
He is doing great and he looked well fed,although he is far away from where he had his family.
Today,our guests had very private and exclusive sighting of this male at Olare Orok river,it is here that Blackie,Lipstick, Jesse,Longface,Olbarnoti,Lolpapit,two strangers posted two days ago are hanging out.
It remains very unclear on what the future has for Notch 2 who he has aged and he is at his final days.
Long live legend.
