[@Whoopdido777]

@@Ehsan793 Kinky Tail and Mr. T have reached basically legendary status by this point. Makhulu was the true alpha of that coalition though. He was older and smarter than the others. I don’t believe he ever lost a fight and actually used to kick Mr. T’s ass all the time when he was a little younger. I’m sure they were just little scrap fights that didn’t mean anything, or they could have been over breeding rights but Mr. T challenged Makhulu often and never came out on top. Dreadlocks was a stud too. Huge lion. Second in command to Makhulu and most likely was being groomed to take over the coalition. He would always step in to take control when Makhulu would go out on patrols. He was a beast, literally...that was one of his nicknames, along with Scar, Snip Tail and Buffalo Killer because he was known to take down buffaloes by himself. He also took down a fully grown giraffe by himself. Rasta was large too. Very cold, calculating and aggressive. I think Pretty Boy was somewhat underrated. He fought in countless battles and was injured many times but he always survived. That’s why he got the nickname “The Phoenix” because he was always able to rise up again. Like I said at the beginning, Kinky Tail and Mr. T get all the action, but really Makhulu, Dreadlocks and Rasta were the studs of that coalition and kept it together. Dreadlocks was poached and Rasta was also either poached or killed by another coalition. It wasn’t proved either way. His body was never found though, which makes many people think he was poached. Losing those 2 was devastating to the coalition, especially since Makhulu was getting up there in age.

This story for me is by far one of the most memorable events to have taken place within Lion history. When I first heard about Chief and Notch immediately I was intrigued. To soon find out what took place after chief was killed…was truly inspiring. The way Notch took in his sons and formed this coalition just melted my heart. What an amazing partner he was to chief, leader, and father to his sons. He is the definition of loyalty and that exact same loyalty shows in each of his sons. What an amazing characteristic to have had and passed along down the bloodline. May his legacy run wild forever.

If you dont live in that kind of poverty you can't say "they can hunt easily" you don't live in their shoes. Not saying this is right. By no means this is the correct way to do it. But its the way they were brought up in. Once again not saying this is justified but its all about perception and their perspective of their own lives. People from the outside watch this and think these people are evil or this and that. Some might be but some just do it to survive. Most humans look at things from their own perspective. But rarely ever stop and think what if I was in their shoes. How would I make ends meet. Most humans naturally look at it from a bias point of view and judge which is understandable. It takes time for humans to be more open minded when you travel and see the world and see different living conditions. When you live in a first world instead of a 3rd world is soo easy to judge others in poverty stricken countries on how they make ends meet.

Could this be evolution working here? Normally male lions force their cubs out into the wild and kick them out of the pride. This seems very unusual and specific to the Notch coalition. Where the old dads take their cubs under their wing (increasing the cub chances of survival and conquering other prides). Plus notch son, also did the same thing. Fascinating

[@auntiez4917]

It's a different circumstance. Notch lost his pride to other males and of course his sub-adult sons couldn't stay with the pride under the new male rulers. It makes sense that he would take his sub adult sons and form a new very formidable pride.

Ohh I love that the father's took their boys w/them. They helped 2 protect them & DEFIANTLY prevented the untimely death of these male sons. I know that the father's needed their sons & son just as much, if not even more then the other way around. But as a whole it was really something awesome for their stories to have this kind of experience... I have a thought... Well I've noticed from all of the videos I've watched through out my entire life & from everything I've learned about these animals in school, doesn't it seem to be that male lions in today's day & age seem 2 be building coalition's much more often then going it alone when finding and building their pride..??.. Is my opinion at all close to the truth? Does it seem to be that male lions rather have multiple male lions within their pride, I'm assuming 4 the protection, the strength in numbers & 4 the confidence of knowing that with more males in the pride they are less likely to be killed by other rival males? I'm assuming all of these opinions but I'm basing them on the fact that I've noticed this shift within the prides over many years. Although my only access to this knowledge is only through what they have produced and filmed in their various documentaries they continually release 4 public viewing, as well as what I learned while in school. I have zero first hand experience with lions in real life or in their natural setting. If I did I could or would feel much more confident with my assessment or opinions regarding what I have theorized above.. If anyone knows about this topic on a more intimate level then myself, I'd absolutely love to know the actual truth of the male lions & their typical habits regarding being solo in a pack or having other male lions within the pack with them too guarantee their survival. Learning something new each day is what I strive for so please do feel free to educate me, I'd so very much appreciate it... Thanks so much.. 👍🤗‼️ Have a great Sunday where ever you may be...‼️‼️...

Each of them must weight over 280 kgs with Caesar over 300 kgs.

[@malcolmbannister3215]

Hi, I doubt very much if a male African Lion can weigh as much as that...that's Siberian Tiger weight. But what I will say, and I hope I'm right: looking at Notch and the others, it looks as if they could be descendants of the 2 famous Lions in the Mara many years ago..Blackbeard and Blonde Mane!

@@tedfio1tedfio1 ,if you mean 650 lbs+ then thanks?

[@bladefrost7421]

@Nostalgic these maned giants at the pink of their health in their prime aught to weight over 600 lbs+ with Ceasar even more.

[@bladefrost7421]

@@malcolmbannister3215 , whatever the case is I have already mentioned their genetically aquired weight above. As for the Siberian tigers concerned they are known to grow even upto 1200 lbs(Kokie Joe, Goliath Love) but in captivity only compared to the captive lions at the maximum of 1000 lbs(Ethiopian Court,Menelik,Sultan). But in the wild Amurs nowadays seldom exceed 215 kgs, averaging 176 kgs for males due to the excessively harsh climatic conditions. Yes the wild Bengals average more,196 kgs with the maximum recorded weight of 320 kgs(Nepal) and the minimum of 80 kgs(The Sunderbans) among the males.

I always wonder about things like this because most males send their sons away but it seems this daddy was smart and kept his sons....I'm surprised they all don't keep their sons for protection but they would be fighting over females...

[@CovfefeDotard]

The sons would be mating with their mothers and sisters then

[@sandralee8855]

@@CovfefeDotard so how do you think this father and his son's did it then? The son's stuck around but had their own prides around their dad's I'm sure...so why can't they all do this?

Notch 2 is a legend like his father before him

They nearly wiped out the hyena population but, the hyenas are now back and as strong as ever. Also, you would think there would be many sons but, there were very few that survived and those few were immediately killed when the brothers weakened.

seems like going on those single missions alone is what did most of the original notch in except for notch 2, sticking together was there best hope of surving
