TBT - great portrait of late Fig Tree Pride Male Maridadi after his nose-cut probably sometime around 2021, before his disappearance...
Look at those orange eyes, he was a true regal fierce beast.

Enkoyonai Lenkoe, the leader and oldest member of once 6, then 5, and now 4 males' Enkoyonai coalition at Mara North. 


Apparently he's the son of Lolparpit&Olbarnoti, but as it's assumed, he also could be the son of Romeo2 who ruled Enkoyonai pride for a very short time with Mohican. It's unclear as he was sired in a totally confusig period, when almost 3 different coalitions competed for Enkoyonai pride and Double Cross Area at once, sometime around late 2016: Romeo2 & Mohican, Lolparpit & Olbarnoti, and Blackie & Lipstick (the latter 2 coalitions' competition - after Mohican's death and Romeo2's disappearance - has continued in 2017 as well, and finally finished with L&O's win). This also confirms that Lenkoe was born in late 2016 yet, while his 5 younger brothers were born already during 2017 with conceive of L&O's participation for sure. 

As it was said, the 3 Sankai Boys has pushed into their territory at Mara North conservancy recently, but hopefully there will be nothing happen between these 2 great coalitions as both sides could cause very big losses to each other - 2 big coalitions in their prime roughly in the same age.

I don't remember if ive asked this before but when did the original six enkoyonai boys lose their 2nd brother? I know the 1st lost was during nomadic but when was the 2nd lost?
Jicho was blinded in both eyes probably after a clash with his brothers and was euthanized by the vets to prevent him from suffering. He had been blind in one eye for years, but with that it happened to the other eye as well, it was the end for him. Very sad and unfortunate story, but sometimes that's nature...

In the first picture you can see him still with his untouched right eye, but in the other very sad pictures he's completely blind

Well depending on where in MNC they went and go. I see you described as they headed south, iMHO, would not be the smartest direction as 4 Enkoyunai Boys hold that area. I never saw described the direction in MNC they headed. As we can see MNC is a huge area and actually connects to many other conservancies and kind of encircles Lemek, Olchorro, and Enonkishu. Im not sure where in Lemek is the Core pride. Lemek is actually separated by MNC too. I'd like to see Sankai move into another conservancy to spread those impressive Olerai genes, maybe Olkinyei or Siana but thats pretty far.


If Sankai are truly into area in MNC that 4 Enkoyunai Boys hold it could be quite dangerous for the 4 Brothers. Ive noticed they are split alot between Acatia Pride and Offbeat as there are a lot of lionesses to mate with. If Sankai capitalize on this scenario they could take these territories. But Olerai/Olekiti already spread genes here, id like to see Sankai move out of MNC.

I think 2, still prime males have a good chance to hold off 3 younger prime males if circumstances are good. MNC Boys will be 10 in July but thats just a #. Osidai and Oronkai could very well be good and healthy and act like prime males up until they're 11. I hope they keep Lemek to raise more offspring. Well see what happens.

Hopefully Kas and his brother (I forget his name), sons of Nyekendu/Osupaat can break out of OMC and move into somewhere theres less HWC and keep the success of the 4KM gene pool going. For now I don't think they have both been truly dispersed by their Dad, Osupaat. It wouldn't hurt to keep their presence around as they're older now, bigger and could definitely face off adult males with their Dad.

It now appears that Osidai, 1/4 (now only 2) Mara North Boys has also been attacked (possibly by Sankai Boys) and has been missing for about six days now. 

If Osidai does not recover this would put the coalition of 4 males down to only 1 now, with Oronkai being the last living brother.

Just to clarify, I'm not aware that "Mark Koda" shared who was the guide who shared that video of Osidai so im pretty sure he won't be able to credit the original video taker. 



This sucks, a once mighty coalition days are numbered and sons of my absolute favorite Ololparpit and Olbarnoti.

Yeah, that is one thing that cannot be done 100%, as many times there are plenty of videos of which we can't find who made, or originally posted them. So that is more of a best effort. That rule was more directed at the folks who will take clips from other people, combine them into a single video, and share them around without ever crediting the creator of the original video. This particular post was made as the OP created a new thread, with the exact same post, that thread and the post it contained were not approved, and immediately deleted, so nobody else ever saw it.

I agree, it does suck that he appears to be gone, very much.

Yeah, wanted to say the same... I was (one of) the man who tried to ask him on FB about his "source" and the image cutted out from which video, but he still hasn't answered it in the last 2 days...So, i think it's not so reliable source. We have heard so many things like this, refer to an 'unfamiliar' source or guide which/who hasn't any name or nobody never heard anything about them, most of these "sources" are totally unreliable, i think. And prove nothing, just talking 'back and forth' without any confirmation..
If i'm starting from that i haven't heard anything about this from any other person yet.......

Furthermore, I don't even think that is Saruni on the picture or not recent.

If the source is 100% okay, yeah that could be true. The 3 Sankai boys could now occuppy the whole area along with Lemek completely once again.

Hello, thank you for steering me in the right direction. I had no ill intentions when I posted that. Just trying to share some (possible) news with other folks, so sorry if I came about it in the wrong way.

I will make sure to read the rules and regulations carefully before posting again ! 

My sincerest apologies !

Also, I tried to delete the seperate thread I made (thinking I was posting in here first) but it said I did not have permission to make these type of changes. And I did not know how to get in touch with moderators, so I am sorry for that too..

Seems that Sankai Boys have returned to Olchoro Oirouwa Conservancy after their heavy long cutthroating journey

It seems they have some minor injuries, but nothing serious. This probably means that they killed at least 1 rival male and fatally injured another one without them having paid a serious price for it. 

Seenka with his majesty
