Wow, great videos @Spalea thanks for sharing them. Nobody can argue against Lolparpit's legendary status, that is for certain, and he will be greatly missed.

I couldn't be more agree. However always exist someone who instead of read about Lolparpit and Olbarnoti and knowing about this legendary fallen king prefer judging him. To be honest, I don't follow much the Mara lions as  I do with the Kruger lions but these two old boys will be remembered for ages and ages

@ Tino Armando.... the 3 boys, the Muskies, need a meal. Scar, Sikio, and Moroni are seriously thin. Sikio and Scar the thinest with Moroni close behind. Skin and bones unfortunately.

@BigLion39 do we happen to know the cause of this? Just a couple of months ago we saw pictures of Scar and he looked gorgeous as ever. I know Sikio got injured, but have they lost their pride?

They were seen recently, very skinny, To be honest Morani was the Musketeers that was looking in much better shape and much well feed seems that they haven't hunt for a few couple of days. As well due of their age which is slowing them a lot in all points of views... Apparently the lookout females has cubs of Scarface but as I don't follow much the lion dynamics of Maasai Mara I can't answer your question.

@BA0701... Yeah Scar was looking really good in the rescent past. They must have not eaten much in the last few weeks because they're skin and bones (extremely unfortunate). Sikio the worst, Scar 2nd and Moroni not too bad but definitely needs a meal.  Sad honestly. I wonder if the game moved off and maybe they couldn't keep up or something? I'll  see if I can find those pics of them.

Absolutely heartbreaking to see these legends in this condition. Thank you for sharing these @BigLion39 , but man I almost regret having inquired now. I expected Sikio to have some tough times ahead, his injury was pretty severe, but I just don't understand what has happened to the rest of the team.

We have been losing some legends lately!! 
I hope these boys will longer a couple of years more. At least till their cubs will grown and reach the adulthood! I haven't seen many sons of this coalition in particular tbh. Very sad

@"TinoArmando" this image isn't recent is it? I can see SF's spine some, but he doesn't look in dire straights, like he does in the images @BigLion39 posted.
