Notch Coalition Male Lineage

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. Credits: Alfred Korir For Zebra Plains Mara Camp.  *This image is copyright of its original author

This day will not go unnoticed, I wish you all a happy New Year I also like to mention the meeting with an old lion who I followed close for many years Notch II, I found him at Bilashaka and what a surprise coming from Look out Sand River to the Marsh where he was born, old and beaten up lost all of his brothers and return a lone back home was amazing, he had arrive into this territory with a surprise of 6 young Males and it's not that easy to stay and belong to his old home but who knows what is in his mind, we are happy to see him and hope he will have a better life in the Marsh.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Is it possible that those 6 young males are his sons and is it possible that they form a coalition? @Tshokwane (01-22-2018, 08:48 PM)Tshokwane Wrote:(01-22-2018, 08:41 PM)Chris Wrote: Is it possible that those 6 young males are his sons and is it possible that they form a coalition? I read that those 6 young nomads are the younger brothers of earless where they all came from the rongai pride and sons of the notch boys?
Now that you mention it, it could be the case.
I know there were some younger brothers of Earless, but I'm not sure they're these males especifically. (01-22-2018, 09:39 PM)Tshokwane Wrote: Now that you mention it, it could be the case. Younger brothers of Earless are dominant males now in the area next to where Earless and his pride is there I believe these 6 males are from river pride sired by Musketeers and now they seems to be dominant over Marsh pride. (Karibu & Rafiki previous marsh dominant males moved and dominant over cheli pride now)

The last of the coalition known as the Notch Boys, or Notch’s Sons, Notch 2, seen yesterday in the Maasai Mara after a scrap with the younger male he’s been hanging out with for some months, over two females who did not appear to be impressed with the shenanigans.  *This image is copyright of its original author

He resembles exactly like his father if it is true.PC Kyamas You would not by any chance have any more photos of Notches father, like this one back in 1995? or any other male coalitions from back then?
