Rangers in Isolation: Episode 60. May 18th, 2020.
Ranger Dan witnesses pride warfare as the Kambula pride reassert their dominance over the Marthly pride.
FYI:
Kambula pride = Ntsevu pride.
Gowrie males = Birmingham males.
Marthly pride = Tsalala pride.
For all those who wanted to come to MalaMala but cannot, we'd like to bring MalaMala to you. In the coming weeks we'll endeavour to share with you everything from game drives to field work. Basically, what rangers do when we don't have guests. Enjoy and stay safe.

When the male lion stops and just stares with that look I don’t even move.
What a sighting. Amazing insight into how Lion dynamics work. And the sight of all the Lions roaring, gives goosebumps.
Thanks Nadav!
Love lion😀😘
*I heard the ants have organized an underground 'animal fight' club - they are tiny but fierce!*
Watching in memory of Tinyo. This was a great example of him. Being a boss. The teamwork between the last two remaining brothers was amazing. Tinyo was a great father, very involved early on. That's why they seem so comfortable going up to him in a tense situation.
The fact that Tsalala female had her flank covered by the cliff; is the reason she most likely survived. Update, she made a full recovery and both she and her cup are doing well. I'm glad all ended well. Great filming.
The fact that they're related is what saved her.
@@pineconebliss if it had been a lion not related they most likely would have killed her.
@@donniev8181 I know they mentioned that in this video but that rationale does not make any sense especially with this pride's history. Tailless' (Queen Tsalala's aunt and the lioness that raised her) death was attributed to injuries sustained from the same Kambula pride and BB (Tailless' mum), her death was also attributed to Lion relatives, the Mhangeni pride (Kambula pride mothers).
TY for the update. I am so happy this is good news.
Thanks for the update 👍
The Tsalala lioness is one hell of a tough cookie. Nhena and Tinyo did a great job at protecting her. Hoping she gets to reunite with her cub soon
I love how you don’t play that same tired music over the sounds of the Lions roaring and the nature sounds! That growling sure makes you sit up and take notice! Somebody’s grumpy! 😂 Best nature videos out there so thank you!
You can see how the boys protected her. Thank God! That made a difference.
Yes it did. Poor girl.
She was lucky to survive this attack.
If Nhenha hadn't been there, I'm afraid this wouldve had a different outcome. He really did emotionally take charge once he worked out what had happened. Once the Tsalala female hit Nhenha in the nose i was soo afraid we'd be seeing a "Dark Mane Majin" case when the Xim lioness scratched his nose and he further attacked her on her fatal night. Ugh.
Tsalala female who has a cub and which pride is surrounding her?
@@JG-wz4bt The surrounding pride is the Kambula pride.
I feel bad for that Lioness, I hope the cub is reunited with mom. That was a tense situation! 😥🙏
Lovely footage, takes you right into the heart of their interactions..
Thank you for watching!
If a lion can have a disapproving expression, the one in the forground sure did. Directed toward the lioness.
when she stood up, wow! she definitely survived a fight. strong girl
Quite right Andrea! Thank you for watching.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve .do the Birmingham males dominant marthly pride? (Tsalala)
How did she find herself in that area
If they wanted to kill she would be dead
What a dysfunctional family, fighting in every room of the house
Absolutely fascinating creatures. I'm so enthralled with their social structure. Incredible footage. Thanks for uploading this!
This seems to be a very violent society here! Never know when something is going to break out!
My Favorite Lioness, Thank God the Boys were around is right! This girl gives a cat definition of 9 lives seriously lol
Tinyo and Nehna are in perfect shape ..and the Kambulas are long and tall lioness...beautiful specimen..
It’s great to have finally seen the lead up and the whole encounter, thank you @MalaMala Game Reserve. The situation was a powder keg! I guess it’s inevitable that there will be tensions in such a large pride with so many big, badass lionesses, and with the Birmingham/Gowrie boys having divided loyalties. It was so great to see them protecting the brave Tsalala/Marthly lioness. I hope she recovers speedily from her injuries and that she and her cub find safer territory. I’m so glad to have read the following news (from earlier comments) shared by @paulibakker: ❤️🐾😊 _just heard from James from Londolozi' s blog that our precious Tsalala female and cub have been sighted down by the River and appear WELL!!...(sighting was by another source) but Londolozi said they expect to see them shortly...I'm SOooo relieved...let's hope they're right!..._
Thanks Nadine!
Looked like the males were putting distance between them then put themselves between them broke it up really' good for them' 🦁🦁❤😃
You all are so blessed to be around and witness nature at it finest. Thank you from Fort Hood,Tx for sharing ❤️
Our pleasure Charmell. Thank you for watching.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve português
Wow what a sighting must been so awesome to be there and see this! Thanks rangers for your great work and letting us all see your daily adventures it really helps the day go by for me. At 4:15 you can see the tension in her movement with him right before she jumps that’s really cool to see
Hi John, thank you for the support, we're glad you're enjoying our videos.
I see why Tinyo's face gets beaten up more than Nhena! He keeps his face in the other lionesses/lions claws reach for longer period of time. Slower reflexes than his brother!
Tinyo's tough he's used to scratches and scars 💪🏼💪🏼
Thank you so much for explaining things, unlike most channels that leave you guessing. Just found your channel, love it.🇺🇸❤️
Those big males aren’t playing boy! 3:28 he told her ‘where you going? sit down’ and she was like ‘no I was just...’ all in lion. 3.42, she’s then looking away like nothing is going on here, I’m just...yawn. 😂 15.24, 15.40 & 17.30, the big guy is handing out beatings like an African dad. 🤣 They are so expressive.
😂 Thank you for watching!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He most fascinating group of prides in the Sabi Sands area. The history between these lionesses is phenomenally interesting. Here the Tsalala/Marthly mother, the last of her Pride (raising a sole daughter) is actually aunt to the Ntsevu/Kanbula females. I’ve been following the reports of these prides going back to 2010. I’m relieved to see that (2013 girl as I call her) has survived this precarious situation. Thanks for the Birgminhmam boy cause I believe he dissipated the situation just in time. What I can’t see here and haven’t heard is where was her subadult? And how was she not targeted. Fascinating indeed.
This is the best lion eye communication I have seen THANK YOU
I know, right?? I was thinking the same thing.....they really communicate with their eyes and the way the look at each other. You could almost tell what they were thinking! Lol
Thanks for upload Wow, i hadnt realized how badly she'd been injured until she stood. Hope she met back up w/her cub & pride, and she's recovered. Prayers & blessings
Brave and bold Tsalala female. So glad she survived. Gosh... Tinyo looks dangerous the way he stares down the kambula lioness and scolds his cubs. These b boys look much darker maned these days. Being 10 and 9 years old.
Imagine comming upon that on a bush walk - NO THANKS!
He’s Grumpy for sure!!..
Well, they are gettin' on in years but their teefs look just fine I think they are gonna be okay maybe another 4 years tbh their fangs don't even look yellow'd at all.
he has a very intense and powerful look lol the way hes staring her down is so focused and intimidating
@@bushlover4268 😅😅😅 that will be serious trouble
The males were like "Darn female drama, I'm so over this".
😂
One of the best sighting of tinyo and nhenha, tinyo helping his brother, thaty why I love Birmingham males, tinyo sacrifice for there brother and thats make there collation legend
The expression on The male Lions face say it all! I love these Lions interactions.
Thanks for sharing. Lion dynamics are always fascinating. Relieved the embankment was as steep as it looked from other angles. Now positive vibes the Marthy lioness and cub are reunited soon. Stay safe.
The pleasure is ours. Thank you for watching and for your continued support of our channel!
Very glad that the Lioness played her cards right and stood her ground...She walked away from a very near fatal attack but like it said" the pride kind of knew her. 👌
Sorry I didn't understand. Could you mention details with time of the event you stated? I can't identify them by names!
They are all just so magnificent!! What I would give to spend the day watching such beauties!!! Ty so much for sharing another great video!! Be & stay safe my friends ...🙏🏽🥰🇺🇸
That was some footage you got there she is an amazing strong lioness I hope she pulls through o k what a day for her wow
🤣🤣I've never seen more confused Cubs than these🤣their dads are so strict...lol. Great video❤
I felt the sound of the lions roaring in the pit of my stomach. A truly amazing, yet terrifying, sound. Pride dynamic is harsh, but fascinating.
Agreed!
Greetings from London UK 🇬🇧 😀, thanks for the video Bob you are so so professional and sensitive towards us I got very impressed when you stated a pardon for the bleeping noise from the vehicle that just shows how much you value and appreciate your subscribers . It's bcoz of this respect that I have subscribed today after loosing my other phone.
Thanks MALAMALA for the video and the INFO my feelings are the same as your`s because they are related and it look to me that the males were keeping the peace. Nhenha seem to be more aggrisseve in keeping the peace. I`am very gald that none of them were hurt or killed we have much to few wild ones left on our planet Mother Earth. TAKE CARE BE SAFE
Thanks John.
I think the male was protecting her a little bit honestly. He was checking if she was in eastress also. If the male hadn't been there I think the other lionesses would have torn her apart more.
You are quite right Myles.
12:15 signs that him like to do more things with her, by the smell
100 percent correct.
*She was SOO LUCKY THAT THE MALES WERE THERE,Otherwise she would be dead by now.Also CREDIT TO THE MALES for CONTROLING the situation!*
@@mrefrainjimenezify the one male was initiating it..how do you not see that
These family dynamics are fascinating ....it seems a cool early morning is the ideal time for a territory brawl....
Wow just wow. The behavior of the males was incredible. If not for them I think she would have been in big trouble. Glad she's ok. Hope she meets up with her cub. 💓
Hi Jazzy Taz, we found the cub alive and well on the afternoon of the 21st, 3 days after the fight. We continue to search twice daily for the Marthly lioness.
These dark mane lions look savage with their scared up faces.
Wow !!Look at those sweet little cubs come running out after the big fight ended. They know that they will be safe now. They have such good instinct .
MALA MALA Game Reserve What a great video , Loved it . Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it Ronald. Thank you for watching!
The back Mane turns them more beautiful and looking more stronger
It's usually a sign of higher testosterone also.
Tough ole bird walking away from that! Thanks for sharing. Very enjoyable video.
Seeing all those lionesses that just kept popping up was pretty intimidating.Knowing they would've killed the lone lioness had the males not stood between them.
I think besides this female being probably related, she perhaps may be in estrus with that flehmen grimace of the one Gowrie male. That was some sighting and surely got the heart to pumping good with all of the roaring and commotion. Thanks for the video Rangers.
A keen observation Linda. But she currently has a cub. Thanks again for your support!
@@MalaMalaGameReserve You are most welcome. I do enjoy watching your videos.
I believe Tinyo has as much to do with this lone female as Nhena does, or Tinyo would't have been so determined to protect her as he was. He was the one who stayed by the lone lionesses side and kept the other females at bay and from further attacking this lone female. If he had not known this lone female i don't believe he would have been as intent on protecting her as he was. We cannot always know what exactly goes on with these lions at night and in secret. So he must be mating her as well, or he wouldn't protect her as he did.
John Woodrum shes got a cub sired by one off bb. last i read cub was down stream from fight but not have reunited after
It's so great to watching this 👍. The lionesses are fighter.👌. Thank's for shearing this fantastisch Video 👏. You make a very good job. Greetings from Germany 💌. Heidi 🦁🦁🦁🦁
Danke Heidemarie ;)
am amazed by the crispy clear footage felt like I was there nice cam!
Nhena saved her too, poor fighter....she is a warrior very strong
They were saying meow when the big lion wouldn't let the ladies and the cubs through. They needed help guys. Awe
That male is mean as hell!!
I enjoy the less-is-more approach to your videos. Much less narration but with text messages to help give context.
I know it is nature and all of that but still hard to watch. Praying that she and her cub find each other and get well, soon
Hi Gillian, we are looking for the Marthly lioness daily. We found her cub alive and well on the afternoon of the 21st May, three days after the fight. We have since seen tracks of the cub and continue to search for her and her mother.
@@paulibakker8880 thank you thank you thank you
WOW!!! I hope the lioness is able to find her pride and heal from the fight she was in fighting for her life. She will be sore! My fear is for her cub. All alone. Now I’m worried about both of them surviving. Thank y’all so much for sharing this, please keep me updated on them both!
Thank you for watching Judith. We’ll post an update on our SM channels as soon as we have them.
You guys always have great videos that i enjoy watching .
Thanks so much Wykeisha.
thriller ... rooting for Prettygirl Tsalala and her cub to pull through this ... after rewatching the footage I believe 2 factors mainly contributed to her survival ...the steep rocks behind her protecting her backside from being attacked and the Gowrie Males trying to balance out the aggression ...
Hi Moondust, we found the cub alive on MalaMala Game Reserve on the 21st May, 3 days after the attack. We continue to search for the Marthly lioness daily.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve thank you so much, very much appreciated ... we are all hoping and waiting ...
They all seem unsettled. That little cub was told to keep off by the male lion at 6:42.
This was so amazing!!! The footage is just stunning to see lion warfare in lion society. I just hate to see a lion/lioness gained up on and suffer a mauling! The cubs look so helpless and scared.
Poor little babies being bossed around.
Just as with humans a level of respect must be maintained and disapline must be maintained also. So cool 😎
Love Kruger Sightings and what you all do on the Mala Mala game reserve. Great job.👍
Thank you for your support.
That's one tough Jane took on the Male them the leas lionesses Powerful moment
if the male wanted to kill her ,he would have, in fact he blocked the lionesses,
She had no choice
The good thing is She walked away and that's all that matters
Incredible insight into the life of lions,Outstanding footage !
Thank you very much.
He's putting everyone in their place
Having seen so many views of this, I cannot thank you enough for the whole story @MalaMala Game Reserve! I watched this 3 times so far-absolutely fascinating with Lion Dynamics. Gowrie Males saved her life I feel. Isn't one of them(or both) the father of her cub? I just hope they reunite soon.
You are quite right Samantha, one of them is the the father. Thank you for watching!
I believe Nhena is the father as he visits her & their daughter often.
Thank you so much!!! Coming to visit one day!!🇺🇸
I wouldn’t use the term 2 prides, only because the lioness who was attacked is the last remaining tsalala lioness (and her cub). Has anybody seen her since this attack, I haven’t seen any updates or ranger reports that she has been found, I know her cub has been seen, but a 1 year old cub without her mother is defenceless, we need to know updates on the tsalala girl and how she is. They should be making her welfare a top priority, she is the last of a magnificent pride ‘the tsalalas’ and loads of people are worried and concerned for her. If she dies, so will her cub and the legacy of the tsalalas. Knowing how they look after their lions it would t surprise me if they let her die and have no other updates.
jamie parskns i couldn't possibly express this situation better myself. I totally agree with you and i am waiting for immediate action by their side for the Tsalala and cub.
Φωφη Παπαδοπουλου so many people are worried about her and it’s really frustrating that we know she’s injured and need to know updates. She is a fantastic lioness and her and her cub are the last of the fantastic tsalalas. I’d be out day and night if I was a ranger to see and let people know of this amazing girl, I don’t think they realise the lions in their parks are so widely admired and people care for them.
I totally agree I wish someone would give a proper update
@@jamieparsons6918 i don't know if they don't realize or if they don't want to. They must find her. She is injured and alone. She would be with her cub by now, if she was fine. Is she? One way or another rangers roam that area. Is it so difficult to spot her? I'm so worried about both great Tsalalas.
@@fofipapadopoulou8856 I totally agree with everything you have said I'm not being funny but I'm sure there are so many people that would love to see an entire video update on just her and her cub sooner rather than later as well
Absolutely amazing
Thanks Rob excellent video, beautiful herd, greetings
I've never seen such strict "no love policy" males in my life lol ! Usually the fathers will just mean mug and snarl at their kids. These dudes are puttin paws on em !
I've informed social services.
@@magnacarta9364 lol !
Both males were protecting the lone female lion. They probably both have mated with her, the reason they both were so protective of her. It's so fascinating watching male lions protect their lady lions. These lions are more intelligent than people think.
It's not unusual to have two or more male lions (usually brothers) rule one pride.
Lol who ever said lions or cats for that matter are stupid?
@@kilipaki87oritahiti far from stupid have laws and rules for everyone
Tsalala queen, rip, this is why i admired her so much.
Fantastic cinematography, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding video!!...your best one yet!!!
Wow, thanks!
*The 'animal fight' between the dog and the vacuum cleaner: who will conquer the living room territory?*
Did the Lioness under attack leave the scene later and rejoin her 'other' pride? Thanks for any info👍
Tsalala lioness ...her mother late tailess tsalala is a grandmother of kambula lionesses
I believe the current Tsalala females mother was the Tailed Tsalala female, not Tailless Tsalala female.
@@styx5131 what chu talkin 'bout willis? There is no other current tsalala females beside this female and her CUB.
@@saidroid3220 I'm aware of that... And her mother was the Tailed Tsalala female, not Tailless.
@@styx5131 yup i am a bit confused ... tailess tsalala is her grandmother
Excellent presentation.
Nothing sends chills down your back that the deep moaning roar of a male lion at night and you can’t see what’s going on around you because it’s pitch black outside.
damn the lions are on edge. they really out there tweakin at the slightest thing. Something had them shook
8.43 that’s intimidating stare down from the dominant male!
Looking good Tinyo.
Thank you for watching!
Around 2mins 50 seconds..that amazing golden lion in the sun poze hehe..nice video, sound quality is actually very beautiful and clear
Such a beautiful footage.
Men keeping the feminists from attacking the feminine lady.
😂 Thank you for watching!
Grazie per il video. Bellissimo,ottime riprese e bei contenuti. La povera leonessa martoriata che si vede a fine video quindi è stata addormentata curata e ristabilita ? Mi farebbe molto piacere.
What a tense situation, but the male did not kill the lioness and stopped other females to attack her! Lions life is very dangerous!
Never get bored with this one
You don't want to be that farmer or herdsman who gets lost and then walks into a lion pride like this one !
Настоящая сходка настоящих парней - львов. Спасибо за необычное видео.
Особенно выделяется красавец Лео с тёмной гривой
That's so many Lionesses to diffuse a fight. Those Queens sound like bunch of race car engines loaded with extra cylinders. Tsalala Martly Queen is very brave.
This is a great video. No distractions.
So interesting....thank you ❤🌹
One the best videos of Lyons so fare 🦁❤️
That was an amazing video of lions dynamics. I think the Birbingham males were trying to protect the Tsalala female. One of them, Nhenha, is the father of her daughter. Kambulas were trying to defend territory and cubs. Tsalala stood bravely against them, but wounded. All of us, who follow her story, are worried about her.Where is she now? If there is any news about her and her cub, please let us know. Thank you.
The cub was seen alone in londolozi, she was fine, i hope they eventually reunited
@@Maxibaluco i am afraid we don't know yet if she is fine. The mother is badly injured. The cub was found alive, but the mother was nowhere near her. Tsalala lioness must be found! There are a lot of dangers out there for a lone, injured lioness and her cub.
@@fofipapadopoulou8856 exactly!
@@Maxibaluco the cub was seen on MalaMala
This fight took place on the 18th May on MalaMala Game Reserve, our rangers found her cub alive and well on the 21st May, not too far from where the fight had taken place. We continue to search for the lioness and her cub daily, keep an eye on our social media platforms for updates.
Wow, that male lion was such a big bully, attacking the females and the cubs whenever they walked past him.
Hes a gay lion. GAY PRIDE
I was just about to type that. I mean WTH is his problem any way? They all seem a bit agitated. Not in this video but all videos of lions that I see. In every video they'll all be chilling and then a little mini skirmish breaks out for five seconds and then they're all back to normal. I can't ever tell a real cause but I know they understand what's going on.
It was a tense situation. He was trying to protect the foreign female from his own pride. That's why he behaved the way he did when anyone got close to her.
Nhena (one of the B Boys) was trying to protect the tsalala female (his mate and father of his cub) from his ‘other’ Pride of mates (and very angry lionesses). If Nhena (and Tinyo backing him up) hadn’t been there she would most certainly have been torn to shreds. I hope she can make it back to her cub and live. She and her cub are the last of her Pride. This seems like a dumb question but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility (the Mangheni male was accepted by a pride not his own) but if the Tsalala cub is now motherless, is there a chance that this very same pride will accept her? I mean, the males (Nhena) would protect her, and if she showed enough submission and humility to the females, is it possible?
Hi there, the Marthly lioness was lucky to survive this attack. We found her cub alive on MalaMala Game Reserve 3 days after this fight and continue to search for her mother daily. It would be very unusual for a female lion to be accepted into another pride, only time will tell.
Usually the female of the other prides won't be accepted. Only the male cubs may sometimes be tolerated.

Quelle agressivité chez ce lion : même avec ses cubs !! Assez rare , quand même ! Ce mâle fait régner la terreur !!!
