"Bryan OrfordZimbabwe National Parks & Game ReservesCECIL R I P
Once he ruled the land
And played in the sand
He roamed and was free
Happy with his family
His cubs to protect and provide for
Everything seemed so sure
Then his heart ripped by the hunter’s arrow
Leading to many a sorrow
The king his blood poured out
The hunter stands tall and stout
A smile is on his face
The lion now no more will pace
While above the vultures soar
The lioness and cubs not sure
They have no protector now
The why and the how
In the forests of teak
Death does now reek
Soon the cubs will die
And join him in the sky
Hwange has a great loss
And will need a new boss
His body dumped in a truck
The hunter is in luck
A dollar changes hands
The lion taken from Hwange’s sands
Far from the African soil
The king of beasts now hangs on a wall'

Notch 's success was a close was forming a strong bond with his cubs in 2005. Though the coalition may have been 8 males at one time .There was way too much Testestrone for Notch 's two other young son by his lover Tamu to stay at compete with their 5 older brothers .The five were just under two years older the Tamu's .You can imagine all the 8 males together .Bit before the age of social media getting so popular . A few managed observed all 8 males together.You can just imagine Notch trying to keep all his 7 sons together .But this river crossing that Disney 's "African cats" movie missed out is perhaps their most iconic moment .Together they have they ruled a total of 15 prides fathered over 60 , Many of those coalitions of 6males,5males,4males .All scattered now with in the Mara and the neighbouring conservancy East of the park .Tgry change the Mara for ever .Now a lot of lions in the park are either directly related to Notch or indirectly through his sons and daughters.they have ruled almost half of the pack over years .Notch 's achievement was being able to strengthen the body together .And that his legacy .https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=371464712970095&id=300392230077344&set=a.300425090074058.71656.300392230077344&source=44

Bob no one knows what happened since he was seen returning from the Serengeti border into the Mara. .All we can do is speculate despite story going around as fact . The Mara is wild place unlike zoo lions with 24 hour care takers and CCTV ,One thing for sure is that he wasn't trophy hunted as they leave far from The many lion trophy hunting blocks that run along side the Serengenti boundary in Tanzania that So called proponent of lion trophy hunting Craig Packer of Serengeti lion projects endorses making him 10000 Dollars off lion trophy hunting .MK Travels

A tired Earless after all the mating going on. Despite his youth, I'm always amazed by his size..

4 boys that are sons of Notch or some of his sons. These were born in the prides that Notch left when he and his sons left to conquer Fang's territory(showed in the movie African Cats). It's amazing how more and more coalitions of Notches sons keep apearing, showing the immense success this male had, as well as his older sons.

I agree earless is very robust male lion and he is only 3 year old. What I found interesting is that he is dominating his partner who is an older male (but not old). He will look massive beast when he will become 5 year old, since he have gene of Notch, I think he will have equally impressive mane as well.

Sad news, but at least it looks to be a natural death.

I am very sad to post this. Grimace aka Bob is dead. After two months of missing, his skeleton was found. It is confirmed by Monika Braun from Matira Safari, Masai Mara.

RIP Legendary Warrior ;'(

I think direct decedent of notch which are famous are Notch2, Grimce, Ceaser, and Ron. Long was son of notch brother and was oldest of them.
Notch made the coalition with These 5 and now only 3 are left, aka Notch2, Ceaser and Ron.

Though packts is right, and there are so many indirect decedent of Notch. They dominated the area for several ear. Now the earless which is son of Notch2 (I am not sure) is getting popularity
