Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara

Tried to send the longer version of this video earlier from IG, but wouldn’t let me due to a broken link which was quite weird. Happened to me before once in this thread too. Anyways, looking ever so likely Olonkera won’t be leaving by himself when he finally gets ousted. Hopefully all 5 stick together.

The 3 Sankai males are still processing to take over the 4 Enkoyonai boys' territory at Mara North Conservancy - it seems they abandoned the area for River pride - and now trying to chase and scout the Offbeat lionesses to mate with them.
Most of the members runs away from them with their cubs/subadults, but some of the females have already been seen on busy mating with at least Seenka and Lemurt in these days. Seenka  *This image is copyright of its original author Lemurt and Kini with an Offbeat lioness *This image is copyright of its original author Seenka also with another Offbeat girl : *This image is copyright of its original author Lemurt and Kini following some members from the Offbeat pride *This image is copyright of its original author For all photos thanks to Sikona Nick Now they seem to have an incredibly large territory, as they are on their way to taking over this part of MNC, furthermore with successfully defeated the 4 Iseketa/MN males' coalition - 3/4 members were killed by their hands most probably, and only Oronkai has remained - they got the whole Lemek Conservancy back with this very likely, and don't forget about their small pride at Olchoro Oirouwa Conservancy with at least 5 cubs. Very huge amounts of land in the Masai Mara, especially for only a coalition of 3 males, but if the boys have found their strength ("balls") finally right now... Only the 4 Enkoyonai boys could compete with them in the area, if they would come back to the Offbeat area, but hopefully none of them will cross each other's paths between the two large coalitions.
The 3 Serengeti/Kaskaz male lions seem to have settled down in the Mara, they were seen with Salas pride recently, and nearby to the Rongai and Survey prides' territory (confrontations were occured already as by some reports, Orkirikoi partner ex-Kichwa Son Oloborani's demise also was due to by these 3 hands probably).

4/4 Inselberg males - all of them are battle hardened, as it can be seen, but they're still doing their great job in the Southern Mara's regions.

Great news: Blackie2 is still alive and well! As it was reported, there has been another male lion near him as well - probably Olopi - and they may be dominant males around Nashulai Conservancy.
While unlike the opposite direction with the Inselberg and Kaskaz males, the wandering of the coalitions is also mutual between the Serengeti and Masai Mara. Here is an example with the last 2 Paradise boys, sons of the Musketeers, they're holding territory lately at Lamai Wedge at Northern Serengeti.
Good to see them and the legendary Musketeers' genes now spreading in to Serengeti as well. 
Appears that Sopa Male, Mdogo, chased Olominia, and Mdogo was seen later with injuries, caused by a fight with someone.
Mdogo has really been through it these last couple of years, what a warrior! Osidai looking as strong as ever though, really handsome boy who reminds me a lot of his father Bob Marley! Such a shame what happened with their brothers, Haile killed by herdsmen and Loki just disappeared.
@Lipstick2 maybe you will know due to your knowledge of Mara lions, has there been any new sightings of Mrefu recently? Another descendant of Bob Marley and bros who was probably the most impressive of them all but never had the luxury of having some proper coalition partners.

Yes, Mrefu is in Serenghetti, alive and well as of a few months ago. Wish i could of gotten more detailed info. I spoke with someone a fee weeks ago about him, i had though 6 Pack Males had got him and Spikey back when they were in Paradise area on a kill with 6 Pack subs. Apparently i was wrong. Im not sure if Spikey is still alive or not tho and im not sure if Mrefu/Ooloodo offspring is still alive. Spikey/Enkuroto has 2 sons roaming the Mara now. The 4 Muguro Boys look more like Ziggy to me, especiallylly Osidai and Haile.
@BigLion39 thanks for the reply mate, really appreciate it. Suppose updates will be harder to come by if he’s spending more time in Serengeti these days. I also saw the recent post about the Musketeer sons establishing themselves over the border in Serengeti, are these two of the three born in Paradise Pride? If they are what happened to the third brother? To me he looked similar to Sikio but the two remaining boys resemble Scar or Hunter more.

He had sweet mane and did resemble Sikio in his prime days! MPCP put together a map back in late 2022/early 2023 and we can see here the Paradise Boys were and still are surrounded by big coalitions.  *This image is copyright of its original author
