BRB and Rongai Pride Update:

---

Oloshipa: Here Oloshipa after chasing away 3 nomadic males from their territory. Apparently, it could be the young Molibany Boys who were in the Survey Area which is not far from Rongai, although it is information yet to be confirmed.

Oloimina:

3/5 Sub Adult Males (Olubi, Kishindo, Dubo Mtoto): Apparently the young Rongai children were trying to hunt a buffalo, so they cornered it, but immediately two of them stopped showing interest and one of them even got up and left the place.

3/5 Sub Adult Males (Olonkera, Kishindo, Olubi): Here is another shot of the hunt but this time it is Olonkera who jumps on the back of the buffalo.

Kidonge'oe:

Lorkulup & Oloshipa: Lorkulup and Oloshipa feeding on a buffalo today, would this be the same one that the young Rongai were trying to hunt this morning, or would they have hunted it on their own?

Oloimina & Rongai Pride: Drama within the Rongai pride territory this morning. After Oloshipa chased the three young nomads, apparently, they ran into some of the Rongai subs who were hunting, they did not back down and made one of the young people adopt a submissive position and suddenly Oloimina appears on the scene. Accidentally chasing one of the Rongai subs but then returning to where the younger sub is with what appears to be one of the three Molibany Boys. Interesting scenes.

Here is another shot of the brief confrontation between Oloimina with his son vs the boy Molibany. Apparently they just made the boy put himself in a submissive position without doing him any kind of harm. On the other hand, the Rongai child surprises me, since he is the youngest of all, but his attitude was something to highlight on this occasion since he did not retreat or run, although he was with Oloimina, he still stood up without taking his eyes off over the intruder.

I love it when someone asks for context, and instead gets the full story. Fantastic post, thank you! Reply
