There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

He reminds me to Jesse in his younger age, but he has never had such a scar on his nose so it's not sure though.

That might be Olerai. His face looks similar, just not sure if its him. Olerai had a slit nose.. Or maybe its an older pic, maybe of Joshua or one of Frank and Jesse fathers?

Yeah thats Olerai

Yeah thats Olerai

Indeed, you are right! And there is his darker elbow tuft too.
I guessed that Jesse has never had such slit on his nose, I just saw Olerai too long ago and almost forgot him...sadly he also disappeared last year.

Although, Olerai is no longer with us, his 3 remaining sons from the originally 5 members Sankai Boys Coalition are still thriving. Lemurt, Kini and in the end Seenka on a morning patrol recently at Enonkishu Conservancy.

What happened to the other 2 Sankai Boys? Are they around 5.5 years now?

Merrinyo disappeared last spring/summer 2022 when 4 Mara North Boys were pushing them out of Lemek. He is thought to be killed by them. 
Lerai was last seen and videoed with Seenka late Oct 2022/early Nov 2022. He hasn't been seen since. Nobody knows.

 Both easily could have met the same fate. Also consider the huge cattle population over there. Very, very, very much a shame as these 5 were the most promising coalition in the  Mara. Either way Kini, Lemurt, and Seenka are still a force and huge, impressive lions. If they keep the same tactics they most likely will not be able to handle the 4 Mara North Boys tho.



Olerai and Olekiti left a big legacy. They still have the 2 Offbeat boys raoming in Naboisho and still have some of the Dikdik boys roaming around as well as many lionesses.

Very interesting encounter between Kutiti, Oloshipa and Olobor. Interesting, on a count of him (Kutiti) walking away without any serious injuries.

That is super strange especially it was olobor involved?

Where is kutiti's origin?

Glad they just basically let him go. Thank God!

Kutiti was sired by legendary males Slitnose (Bob) and Ziggy Marley in Prunagat Pride. Bob and Ziggy Marley are sons of legendary Marsh males Romeo, Clawed, and Pavarotti.

Kutiti is half brothers to 4 Muguro Boys Mdogo, Osidai, Loki, and Haile; now 2 alive Mdogo and Osidai and are now Sopa Pride males.

4 muguro boys names sound familiar. Are the 4 muguro boys were once called hammerkop boys? 

I remember something when spearboy tried to join the 4 hammerkop boys, they did not accept spearboy and gave him a beating.

@Robot00 not really that strange, even the most aggressive lions will allow a rival to go sometimes.

Mrefu is also their half-brother who is the (former) Rekero Breakaway Pride dominant male along with his disappeared partner Oloodo.

He is spending most of his time currently in Naboisho Conservancy.
