Scarface was a member of "the four musketeers," a gang of lions that gained control of the Marsh Pride area in the reserve and were featured in a BBC television series. Jonathan Scott, a BBC broadcaster, characterized the gang as "nomads, full of swagger and violence and packed with testosterone." Except for Scarface, who stood out immediately owing to his disfiguring wound, they were almost hard to identify apart."
He is a legend and the most renowned big cat, with a territory of about 400 square kilometers.
Scarface is a celebrity and the lord of his realm among wildlife lovers who refer to male lions as "boys" (tour operators and drivers refer to them as "vichwa"). Scarface was fathered by the Notch male lions, according to wildlife photographer Antony Tira, and is a member of the'musketeers' alliance with his three brothers, Morani, Sikio, and Hunter.
Scarface was recognized for his extraordinary mane and the scar over his right eye, after which he was called. The lion ruled multiple prides for a long time and was a popular attraction for visitors to the reserve. The World Wildlife Fund's vice president for Wildlife Conservation, Colby Loucks, was among those who paid respect to the lion. "As apex predators in the food chain, lions play a key role in the ecology," he told Newsweek. While the death of Scarface is a sad day, it is encouraging to know that he was able to assist preserve the natural ecological balance in the Maasai Mara National Reserve for almost 14 years.
