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.
Dear Mara Big Cat Fans/Lovers, It is with great pleasure to have this answer to you that it has been coming to us in the last few days. Notch 2 the only surviving male lion in the great coalition of the famous Notch coalition,is looking strong but with small wound on his tigh (Not of serious concern),spotted him few days ago (as shown in the photo),and also today while out on safari,is is on his own and very far away from the last pride of lions that he owned ( Look out hill pride) and that none of the females is with him.
As at today in the morning he was on the western side of the Rhino ridge very few kilometers from where he was born and he lives a solitary live that it is too much for him considering his old age,but but lucky he is because we have big herds of Zebras and wildbeests in at where he is at the moment.
The only big worry is,he is currently in at where he can be caught by any of the coalitions of male lions that we have around which are ;The 4 muskateers,the 4 Nomads,the the 6 nomads by the Marsh and Blackie and Lipstick,but but as a lone ranger that has managed the last two months on his own,i'm sure he can still play his way out even into Mara North conservancy.
His future remains uncertain but what i'm sure of is that his time is up.
Who he joined up with Long face or Jesse who are hanging around the same area is another question that we received?
Chances are very slim but again nature is full of surprises.
We will try as much as we can to follow the last footprints of this living legend of the Mara that i have followed for the last 11 years.
Photo is courtsey of our guest Stefan Meyer.
Stay tuned.
