Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara

[KM600]

By the way Lorkulup and Kijana were 100% sired by the same male, and I’ve heard Lorkulups father is believed to be Benna. I’ve seen photos of Benna at old age and I don’t really see it tbh but I’m guessing comparing Benna in his prime to current Lorkulup shows much more resemblance. Anyways, I’ve not seen any other males in Masai Mara, albeit I don’t follow up with them as much as other places, who have the type of mane both Lorkulup and Kijana have. 

The darkness they had at such young ages on top of how thin it gets towards their back which really isn’t common for Masai Mara lions. Even down to their body types, both very tall, with the only real difference being Kijana has always been more on the bulky side whereas Lorkulup has been leaner, up until recently, with it starting to look like he’s naturally become bulkier. Definitely two of my more favourite lions in the area. Reply
