I'm not sure where it took place. I know Salas are beginning to take Moniko-Sankai Pride so  maybe it was anywhere around there or Topi Plains territory.  But the 3 big Salas pushed the 4 Bila Shaka back, for now. 

Jesse2 also has to be careful as his 4 young sons from Sankai- Moniko are pushing him and his pride close over by the Massai Villiage. Scary times ahead for them as male lions on 1 side and massai/cattle herders on the other. Not good.


Wow! Nobody wants to take on Salas. They are roaring like thunder in that last video.
Wasn’t Moniko-Sankai Pride already taken over by Black Rock boys after killing Olope? Now Salas are neighbours to Black Rock boys?
These seem to bad times for Jesse2 of late.

@BigLion39 you are very knowledgeble about Masai Mara lions, it would be great if you can make some map of Mara and their lions? I think most people here (including me) have very little knowledge about locations of these prides and coalitions in Mara.

Salas males are so fierce. Remind me so much of their Fathers Buddha & Slaver in terms of looks. The 3 Salas Olepolos, Orkitok & Osapuk are huge males are more successful and a lot more dominant. Being 3 in a coalition obviously helps, but they have a distinct aura of confidence & ferocity around them. 
6 pack need to focus on their own prides and keeping their legacy safe in the Triangle instead of jumping from territory to territory, Invading. They remind me of their half brothers the 4 iseketa boys to some degree. But at least Doa stays and protects the prides. 

None of the surrounding coalitions should cross the Salas Males right now. 

Nearby to Salas Males, Nyekundo and Osupaat the Fig Tree boys are also incredible as a duo! At just 5 years old they have truly become great pride males of Enkoyonai Pride. They rule a prime piece of land Round DC and i hope they rule that pride for a while.

Wow thank you for thinking of me here!  I would love a map of the different coalitions and prides of the Mara as well. Ill see if I can find someone knowledgeable on social media and maybe we can get a map going.  I don't have a grasp on all the locations yet. It gets confusing because prides have more than one name, for example Fig Tree Pride is really called Olkiombo Pride and then even more confusing is the Moniko- Sankai Pride. In one conservancy ita called Moniko but they have territory in the Reserve and they are referred to as Sankai Pride. Very confusing. Ill see what I can do.

Totally agree! They don't play around! Another 3 member coalition in Naboisho, the 3 Rongai Boys are just as fierce, great fathers and protectors as well! They have similar characteristics, both coalitions!
Osapuk resembles Ginger so much as the other 2 remind me of Black!

@BigLion39 , my friend, if there were anyone in our community who I would recommend for such an undertaking, you would be it. Your extensive knowledge of the Mara prides and coalitions is always impressive, remarkable, and appreciated. We all hope for, and look forward to your success with this, thank you for considering it!

Olope and Olbarikoi were basically leaving Moniko-Sankai and took over Fig Tree breakaway pride by that time. Olope intruded into Black Rockers territory unfortunately and he paid the ultimate price! Makes sense as Olbarikoi and his brothers offspring have left the pride and are now making their own way. Still such a shame Olope was killed!

Morani and his son the Rekero Breakaway Boy were seen. Supposely they've killed some cattle and are in trouble. I hope the Massai don't take revenge.  He is 14 and doing very well and has a chance to live some more great years if he can stay outta harms way! Fingers crossed

The Ex Offbeat have a pride in Oloisukut Conservancy, where we have just seen Morani and The Rekero Breakaway Boy. This  conservancy is the the Western border of Mara North and on a small portion of the Reserves Northern border.  1st pic is Osidai, 2nd pic is Ntui....

Ranger says Olobor but it is Oloshipa. You can see the scars on Oloshipas left eye from when they killed Olope and Olobor has huge, long elbow tufts. Olobors mane has turned very dark brown/black more than Oloshipa now. Thats how I tell them apart.

Wow! Another crazy turn of events! Looks like Longface is no more! Very sad but he's left quite a legacy of strong, adult males and females! Finally looks like Spearboy might have a friend! Kutiti and Spearboy, awesome!
