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

I don’t think that’s their names, but instead Kidong’oe, Olonkera, Ololtapata, Orongai, Lepiyayoi as per @Tirasontira. That sounds more like names given as a lot of Masai Mara names given begin with the letter O. 

I fully agree on the point about how impressive it was for the Rongai boy to stand his ground too, I have no doubt it would have went a lil different if he had seen the Molibany boy by himself but very impressive nonetheless. It’s not like Oloimina was with him the entire time either, and yet he didn’t back down, that’s the type of character these young males will need when they leave the pride. 

It seems that Rongai boys are doing quite a bit of moving around and in numbers too, just yesterday all 5 boys were seen with some of the subadult lionesses. I think it’d be great for their experiences with these nomads going further, especially if they could give a lil beating on some of them as a group, strengthen that already tight bond and their fighting experience as a whole.

I have noticed for some time, they often appear malformed, and when people reply to you, it results in their responses being malformed as well. The way Instagram links should be embedded is:

[insta]<your link goes here>[/insta]

Example:

As you can see, the "target=" stuff that we see in your post does not appear, though I posted the exact same video, and if you respond to this post, it will appear normally.

By the way, the link I used to embed this video, was literally copied from within your post, there just seems to be a bunch of extra stuff there as well.

Perhaps it has something to do with that browser, not sure, but this time your post appears correctly. When you look at your OP of this video, does it not look like this to you?

*This image is copyright of its original author

Another funny thing is, when I look at that original post, as if to edit it, this is what I see, a bunch of additional text that should not be there:

*This image is copyright of its original author

But on this response by you, the properly appearing post, it looks like this:

*This image is copyright of its original author

So something is adding all that extra code, perhaps it is that browser, but that would be very strange. Reply
