Meet female collared lion Nosieki
Category: Meet the lions | Date: Oct 10 2009 | By: kilimanjarolion
Nosieki was the first lioness to be collared on Eselenkei Group Ranch. She is a resident lioness in this Group Ranch and several people can attest to her presence in the area over the years as she is very distinct due to her lack of a tail tip, long figure, and many spots.
Deriving her name from the place she was collared (Osieki - the Maasai name for a bush which has beautiful red berries), Nosieki gave birth to two beautiful cubs in May of this year; a darker colored female cub who loves to chew on trees and harass her father, Lomunyak, and a jovial male cub that has already earned a reputation of being the first to eat from any kill…. signs of a promising future! Here is her little female cub playing in a tree.
Nosieki is the more composed and peaceful member of the Tara pride as well as being the best hunter.
