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.

Always great to see brothers fight, real entertaining, although not for the brother that lost. The video u sent in last week of Lorkulup and Oloshipa going at it is prolly my favourite fighting video to date, Lorkulup pounced on him like he would a buffalo and put Oloshipa down. Don’t think anyone here was expecting that.

Start of the video is Olonkera and Kidongoe’oe, ends with 4/5 Rongai boys tracking a buffalo herd.

I think this puts into perspective how young males lives are always completely dependant on how successful their fathers are. It wasn’t long ago a lot of us were feeling for Olonkera as he was being harassed by Olobor, which led to him leaving the pride for some time, and he was completely by himself.

How many times do we see young males who have no brothers to leave with and just end up perishing, their life is hard enough as it is at surviving even as a nomadic coalition.

Even if the local coalition doesn’t have much surviving male offspring in the same pride, it helps massively if they have them in later litters or in adjacent prides. Examples like Makhulu being born in a separate pride to his brothers, NK and SYM, Sekoti leaving as a lone male from Marsh Pride before being joined by his younger brothers etc.

Males can ofc always join up with unrelated members, but it takes longer to establish bonds, which normally means if takes longer to acquire both their own pride and territory. These young males getting a good start at life with companions is so important.

Rongai Pride is apparently also having a mini breakaway, some of the female subadults are having a rough time with new cubs being born, most likely a reason they’ve been seen accompanying their brothers. Unless BRBs lose their territory soon, they will have to breakaway anyways, but right now they’re too young to conceive so I doubt it stays permanent for now.

Apparently Olchorre was caught and injured by other males. Injuries not life-threatening. Vets should be attending to him soon, if not already have. Wondering where Kijana is.

Also Rekero pride lost all cubs again. Same happened when 3 Moniko-Sankai boys held this pride. Rekero lionesses are experienced, not sure what is going on.

The cubs dying is real unfortunate, I was seeing so many updates on them and hoped the best for them. 

Would be interesting to see who caught Olchorre, minor injuries tends to mean inexperienced males, maybe the Topi boys finally stuck up for themselves.

Well then, looks like it’s been confirmed who injured Olchorre. Bila Shaka males Kiok and Koshoke were seen mating with two Rekero lionesses, info per @bownaan.kamal. It’s said the incident between both coalitions most likely happened on the 9th.

He was seen today, a guide confused him for Orkirikoi but it’s Kijana 100%, I could tell instantly by the mane.

I haven't heard that, good to know. Kijana/Olchorre better be careful as 6 Pack males are probably ready to expand as they've raised a set of offspring to young adult and might want to leave Paradise. Hope all 4 don't want Rekero.
