Gorgeous Photos Show Maasai Mara’s Oldest Lion Living His Best Life At Age 14
Welcome to Maasai Mara National Reserve, an area of preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya that is famous worldwide for its exceptional populations of lions, leopards, and cheetahs. It’s not easy for any wild animal to survive in such places, but Morani has made it to 14 years so far.
“Just by looking at his face, you can tell this guy has been through a lot,” said the 33-year-old photographer. “He went from a young stud leader of a pride, a king, to a retired old man who still fights for survival in the Mara.”
“Morani was a part of a coalition of four males and he's the only one remaining out of the four,” Lum continued. “He is a lone male who has been pushed out of the pride by younger, stronger males which is a natural process in lions as the strongest males will control the pride.”
