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.

Yes thats Olbarikoi/Jesse2; Original 1/7 Offbeat boys..... Jesse and Franks son! Their offspring including them are gorgeous. I believe Frank and Jesse were sired into the Cheli Pride.

I have a question. 
If I'm not wrong, Jesse the nomad tried to form a coalition with another lion named Fang and his young son at some point while being nomad. 
Is said Fang the same lion that Olalashe and his brother forgive his life??

Yes, Fang aka Blondie, 1/2 Kitchwa Males was the one who was interacting with Ololashe and Kijana. Now Jesse, I've never heard of him running into Blondie/Fang. Jesse has ran up on a bunch of territorial males in his years of being a nomad but imho he seems to like living alone as a nomad and he does incredibly well!

Got it, thanks!
If I find the video where I heard that from Jesse, I will post the link here so you maybe can figure out if they are referring to the same Fang.

Below is the a link from facebook with the report. 
Fang wasn't the name of the lion, it was DOA. I saw/read this a while a go and I might have gotten confused with the name of Jesse's coalition partner, Frank that vanished.

Yes that was when the Bila Shaka were basically vacating the Topi Pride area and juat Doa was hanging there, rigjt before Salas boys took over. That was an interesting encounter. I'm sure Jesse would have killed the Cubs if he got passed Doa. He has 4 other brothers in his coalition so I'm not sure he would have accepted Jesse. Doa is the family man of his coalition so he usually hangs solo with the pride and Cubs while his bros stick together.

Very interesting to know that Doa has 4 brothers, thanks! 
The videos normally don't provide enough information. 
Now is understandable why Doa didn't want to form a coalition with Jesse.

Doa use to have 5 brothers. Baba Yao who was his litter mate if im not mistaken,  & was killed by the 3 Salas Boys in Jan of 2021. So now down to 5. The original name of these boys was "The 6 Pack" born in Moniko Pride sired by Lolparpit and Olbarnoti!

I don't post in topics other than those that deal with prides of the Greater Kruger however WildEarth has been broadcasting from the Mara again this August running until September and this mornings sunrise safari saw a pride called the Paradise(?) pride by the guide hunting a hippo. Mostly subs but still, a really rare sighting nonetheless.

You can catch it from 29:20 or so.

I wish WE could broadcast from the Mara year round. I believe they used to, but it was just too expensive to maintain. Anyway, I saw this earlier today. The Mara never fails to disappoint. Some of the most interesting moments on WE all seem to happen in the Mara.

Such an amazing pride!  They have thrived for years producing many, many successful offspring since the 4 Seasons, the original 4 lionesses, broke away from the Marsh! Together with Lipstick and Blackie and now the 3 Salas Boys! 
It shows how great things can be when there are no humans and cattle herders around. Just look at the Topi Pride as an example!
