Jesse/Frank legacy down to his grandsons have bad luck unfortunately. Jesse was able to survive a long time but his sons and brother not so much. Jesse sisters are still alive in Cheli pride. 

Olope/Olbarikoi sons in Fig Tree Pride are thriving as of a few months ago.

I didn't know that there's just one now? Is this the most developed one? Last ive heard there were three and one of them was bigger than the other two. They ousted the two remaining younger black boys coalition from a pride then those younger BRB came back but don't know what happened.

So what happened to the other two moniko sankai boys?

Very impressive. Guessing he chased one first then the other as it’s hard to see two dominant males running away from a single male.

He's probably the biggest in Mara right now, very impressive.

@Mapokser he is a very bulky male that’s for sure, he reminds me a bit of Earless who was probably the most bulky male lion I’ve ever seen. There are some other males I’d say were just as big overall though. Chongo & Koshoke from Bila Shaka coalition are up there and Osapuk from Sala’s Males is also a beast of a male lion. But for me the most impressive males in Mara right now are Lemurt, Seenka & Kini the three remaining Sankai Males. All huge, in their prime and with massive manes.

Enkong'u, Ololparpits son from the Enkoyunai Pride. 1/6 brothers who left the pride back a few short years ago now has 3 other brothers alive and have basically taken all of MNC just like their 4 half brothers did from Isaketa Pride. They have been with River Pride and have all but left the Offbeat Pride to other males, possibly Seenka, Lemurt, and Kini.

Lenchada was the most developed brother with the impressive mane and bulky size. He was seen wobbling around back in March after a meal. People were concerned but at the time didn't think anything of it. That was the last time he was seen. He disappeared. A few weeks later Kilya popped up all beat up he was lucky to be alive. He met up with the healthy Lemoniko a day later. That was the last time Kilya was seen and he happened to be with a kill eating. Lemoniko disappeared until June 22 and he was seen with Rekero Pride. During all this time it seemed Kijana and Olchorre had taken Rekero Pride back and were mating the lionesses. Dynamics are crazy in that area, nobody I know has a clue what happened.

Let's not forget what happened to the 4th Moniko-Sankai brother who was brutally murdered by Herdsman and Rangers like Rob the Ranger and Administrators of the Mara  Reserve tried to cover it up. Bad luck for Jesse/Frank Legacy over the years. 

There's 3 big young males in Fig Tree Pride, half brothers to Lemoniko and bros. Let's hope they have better luck when they disperse.

3/4 Lemek Boys, sons of Dere/Barrikoi taking Naboisho. No signs of Moliban pride males Saggy Eye and Kiminati. They have 2 year old offspring in Moliban, I was hoping they would be able to raise them to adults. Hooe the Mom and aunts can do it while Lemek Boys take over.

Osupaat bumped into Oldikidiki pride while patrolling. He's still in charge of Enkoyuani pride. Wishing good luck to him while he's left alone now.

Are you saying that Rob has been involved in covering up the killing of these lions? I knew the problem in the Mara was really bad, I guess I didn't understand to what extent. This is even more reason for folks to not visit Masai Mara, until they get the mess they've created fixed.

What great news, i've already missed him so much! Although i heard that too they wandered to the Serengeti but good to see him. He's a very beautiful male lion from Romeo's and Bob Marley's lineage.

They also have become to beautiful males now as they'll turn 7 this year (Lenkoe has turned already).

This is En'kongu (missed right eye) and Saningo (the tailless) brothers, the first is son of Lolparpit while the latter is Olbarnoti's.

Kijana and Olchore are doing great as well, it seems now they'd taken over at least partly of the Rekero pride and its territory from Jesse2's sons after both 2/3 brothers (Lenchada -the most impressive- and Kylia) have vanished for something and only Lemoniko can be seen/spotted for months now... But not the full pride as Lemoniko still was seen with some of the Rekero girls/lionesses recently. 
These boys slowly enter the 5 so they also reach their prime period very soon.

Kijana, the younger Black Rock Boy to his 3 remaining brothers (current Rongai and Maji Ya Fisi pride males) and more younger half-brother to ex-Sand River males Manywele & Oloiborr (current Black Rock Pride males ironically)

Olchore 
He reminds me a lot to the ex-Rongai pride males Floppy Ear & Jagged Ear who were his fathers most probably.

The remaining 4 Bilashakas also doing well, they're wandering a lot between their 2 Paradise and Marsh prides lately on a very large territory which they own. Their time to go out somewhere is slowly arriving as their Paradise descendants getting more and more mature and on the other side, the 6 young Acaica boys recently hanging around Marsh pride's territory mostly which could cause problems to them as these young boys could get more ambitious as they also getting mature and they probably try to make some take-over attempts later which can be very risky to the Bilashakas. Although they still a coalition of 4 strong adult male lions for now, don't forget, they'll turn 10 this year, so their prime period would get decease slowly.

Still with Paradise pride, it seems he's prefer to stay back more with them recently like his late brother Doa did it.

Is Koshoke blind in his right eye, or perhaps have a crossed eye?
