Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara

[KM600]

The first video of the new BRBs documentary, I was meant to send this on the day it first come out but thought I’d watch an episode first before recommending.

Altogether I thoroughly enjoyed it, a very lengthy documentary in terms of per episode, but unfortunately there’s only 3 episodes that will be released, and all 3 have already been released under the same channel. If it followed their story in detail like Savage Kingdom, it’d be so much better but this is better than nothing for sure.

There’s definitely a few things I didn’t like as much from just the first episode. It’s very much focused on Olobor and Oloshipa (or Olpadan) as they refer to him in the show and rarely mentions their brothers. When it does mention the other 3, it very much downplays their importance in their coalition, Oloimina is described as useless when hunting and ‘never takes part’ whereas Lorkulup and Olosiadu are also seem to be of little importance. I mean there’s a video clip of Lorkulup hunting with the pride from the very start and the narrator talks about how he only starts to join in on the hunt after his mothers went for the kill first, which as I had just seen was straight up bs.

They also say Olobor had killed his own sister from Black Rock Pride which was untrue, it was a Rongai subadult female. Hopefully the other boys start to get as much airtime as by the end of the first episode, they’re established pride males. Anyways, besides all the stuff that I didn’t like, it’s definitely worth a watch.
