The legendary Boxer Nose! The oldest lion of the Masai Mara.
Many thought he had died long ago. credit Massimo Vallarin  *This image is copyright of its original author
“This lion, called Gecho moja (one eye in swahili) or Benna by the fans of cats in the Maasai Mara, he is amazing and crazy looking. His pride and brother are talking good care of him.” - ’Gecho moja’ taken by Fabrizio Bignotti while staying at Sarova Hotels Kenya in aid of the Angama Foundation Angama Mara

Big cat of mara, this male was like a kilometre away from the sopa pride, he has some big scratch on his back which tells you that he has been in fight... Earless male.  *This image is copyright of its original author

Wasn't he seen recently with a new partner? The vagaries of having an older lion for a coalition partner: you benefit from the experience early on but have to go through the process of finding another partner later on. Is any data available on how successful secondary partnerships are?  Video by @bobpoolefilms | In the spirit of National Wildlife Day, I share this video of one of my most favorite lions. He and his brothers rule the Naboisho Conservancy in Kenya. Thanks to a great collaboration between local Maasai land owners, conservationists and tourists who love wildlife, scenes like this happen every day. The lion is full and the wildebeest know it. But they look on as if to catch a thrill. During the night I filmed the lion as he stole a wildebeest that a female in his pride killed. He had his fill before letting her eat and in the morning went looking for his brothers. I filmed this footage from my custom modified Land Rover at 120 frames per second in 4k. Come to @bobpoolefilmsto follow along on my wildlife filming adventures. 
Rest in Peace "Boxernose" - Oldest male lion in Masai Mara

Strange situation in this video: Late one morning drive we came across the Nomadic ex-Sand River male lion coalition (Buddha and Slaver aka Black and Ginger) watching a herd of buffalo it was hot and they looked tired so we left them to it. The next morning we returned to find they had actually caught a buffalo overnight not far fro where we let them. Unusually a second coalition of younger nomads (Chumvi and PiliPili) had joined them to feed and there was no animosity between the two rival groups. The hyena clan were also trying to get a share! Hunger? |
