ONCE VERY STRONG THE RIDGE PRIDE.

Let me tell you bout the Ridge pride,

After the old male left Snuggle tooth the females took the responsibly, What a tough job.

We have seen the females risking there life so match to protect the little ones and guess what they have made it through the wast.

Notch and his boys gave this pride so much trouble we thought the boys will be kill or some of the young females, up to now they have se-verve a lot of difficulties from crossing the river risking crocks attack and having more encounters with nomadic males towards Rongai and many other prides such as Olkiombo pride with there Three males who are very powerful.

The pride have finally separated into three groups one with little cubs, one group still running away from notch and his boys, and young males have move away from the protection of there mums hope they can sail through its tough but that is life with lions.

Snuggle tooth is still missing hope he is a live somewhere in the mara serengeti.

I wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Salaams

HONEY BOYS 

My Friends,

This are the other males every love to hear about them, rhino ridge had became there most favorite spot in the mara.

At long last we have seen little cubs which they are the fathers bless them.

We had followed this males for a while now and my lord no male cheetah can beat the power of Honey boys.

We have no problem following them during the day we now call them action boys.

Again due to drought in southern kenya the area they prefer had been taken by cattle this do affect there behavior on hunting in most cases.

However if this is the end of a dry season we can call it no matata but if it continue mmm not sure about it.

The female with little cubs we thing its Serena but yet to conform its good news though for Christmas updates.

For the next few months no young males coming to take over the territory from honey boys (snap, crackle, and Pop).

WISE BOY NOTCH LOOKING ONTO THE FUTURE.

My friends 

Looking into Notch and his pride we now agree this is the best collation of males we had ever experience in the mara.

Notch and his five boys had taken over two prides so far with lost of cubs born under there rign love it so much.

ONE OF NOTCH BOYS.

With the drought problems in the country Notch and his two prides the paradise pride, and Ridge pride, the reason being they are both in the middle of both prides at mara river.

The future of this prides will always depend on Notch and his boys though Notch is very old now it will be had for him to compete with his growing sons Notch will go down to the bottom of the high ricky very soon if not started going down hill.

We all love notch the best of the best we had for a long time.

LTTLE NOTCH THINKING SOON I WILL RULE THIS KINGDOM.

Merry Christmas to you all

Love

SHAKIRA MOJA, MBILI, AND TATU.

We have followed the Girls for a while now got to know them and have the joy to be entertain by this beautiful predators.

As we look back Shakira have done a brilliant job raising this young cheetahs, she want through had ship from lions, to hyenas human activities and even some driver guides who does not understand wildlife behavior when she want to hunt.

All in we take our hurts, and bless Shakira for keeping her family safe, feed, most important train to be in-depended.

SHAKIRA LET THEM DO THE JOB.

We don't know exactly where she is Kenya or Tanzania however she is doing well and still together.

Cheetah have a lot of problems to make it, with such competition on the ground well I think when ever we see any thing threatening cheetah we should help to make sure they survive the next day.

Out in the field we Cheetah are the most scares, there habitat is also been taken away by people.

Growing in the mara I have seen big changers I just hope we can make some wise decitions in the long run.

CLOWED YESTERDAY WAITING FOR HIS TERN TO MATE.

After such a long drought in Kenya we thought this boys may not suvive the presure from the cattle human conflict.

He and his mate are well to let you all know I just took this 

picture some hours ago to be prisis 

I went to laikipia and some bad news went up there that one of the males in the marsh pride have been Kill by the maasai I went metal and did not know what to say just to go and see for my self.

ROMEO LOOKING AS COOL AS EVER YESTERDAY MORNING.

I then followed who was Killed by the cattle headsman last week, going around looking for some of the males I know in the area I have found who, the young males we call them normadics have been speard to death and his bother is looking very sorry below rhino ridge.

No good news for me when we loose any lion in park for the expence of cows I still believe its an accepteble for people to graze in the park at the same time kill the preditors in there own home area.

THE MALE ON THE LEFT LOST HIS LIFE AND JUST SOW THE OTHER SOME HOURS AGO.

The headache for the two males from the marsh pride is gone for a while since this young boys would have push them out of the pride.

However the future is still very had for our pride at the marsh since this large pride go in and out of the park in such of food.

The other good news is the formation of the MARA NOTH CONSERVANCY.

As much as we like to speed up things it will not happened in Africa, we still have to go the snail way to do things right.

When this happen the marsh pride will be at the best place ever and so many of the prides who live out side the park places like Aitong, The Gorge, and the list goes on.

Salaams to you all 

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

Jackson Looseyia.
