ENTRY DESCRIPTION
His name was Olobor, he was the leader of the Black Rock Boys coalition that rules over the Maji ya Fisi and Rongai prides in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. The strongest of the originally five males, he was domineering, even unusually violent, and always seeking to expand his and his brothers’ empire. While we sometimes have conflicted feelings about the savage side of nature, starkly evident in him, in his own way he was how a male lion has to be, how he should be. Until he was killed by man — one more entry buried in the endless record of our ruin.
