MalaMala Safari Moments: Episode 72.
The beginning of a takeover? A Northern Avoca male comes across a Gowrie male trying to mate with a Kambula lioness. He chooses fight and the Gowrie male, flight. Elephants interrupt the chase. Youngsters from the Kambula pride are in ear shot of the commotion and they run for the hills.
...
From MalaMala Game Reserve to wherever you are in the world, we'll bring you moments from our daily safaris in one of Africa's most iconic private game reserves. This is essentially a continuation of our 'Rangers in Isolation' series which was filmed during the national Lockdown.
AAA-Mohawk is the man. The look on his face said everything and his Roars said it all. Thanks Guys as Always 💯.
Absolutely, always knew these boys aren't what the guides say about them... idk why.. but today Mohawk showed us all... im.excited but also sad for the cubs.
His body language was like he meant business. He went after Nhenha straightaway.
Mohawk was ready to go, he was on BB tail, I have much respect for the BB they are a mighty force, they are older than the Avocas, any injury would be bad for them. Now people can stop saying the Avoca are soft. Mohawk bent serious business, hope the Kambula cubs are safe back with the mums♥️♥️ I love lions there awesome
@@salmanbinahmed8253 I’ve followed the Avocas since they were in their natal pride and every reserve that saw them during their early days have nothing but respect for the “young Avocas”, as they were known then. It’s just some silly WildEarth presenters who thought it was ok to talk down about them (and fanboys of particular coalitions). The local guides and reserves having nothing but good things to say about the Avocas as strong protectors and great fathers.
@@jmassful yes the only soft thing about them is how they treat their cubs. Mohawk is definitely an aggressive cat always has been and more so now. He has it written in all his actions. Let’s hope this ends without any losses for anyone.
Absolutely fantastic! She rejects the Birmingham boy and the proceeds to track down and flirt with the Avoca boy! And those poor scared subadults fleeing the chaos!
They’re not long for the world if the Avoca male takes over.
She didnt reject the bboy she was just getting mohawk attention since the pride was close with sub adults... therefore she did that so they could get away
It's been said this video is edited to look like Kambula at the end but is actually nkuhuma lioness.
@@gabriellaangel01 this is a kambula lioness.
Amazing stuff, Mohawk is in top shape dominant of the three N. Avocas, he is full of confidence. Loved the tactic of the Kambula lioness keeping him busy so the youngsters can leave unharmed
Although Mohawk is the one in the best shape he is not the dominant one in the few videos there are between the two of them having a conflict, Blondie dominates to Mohawk!
@@oscargonzalezc.8134the dynamic between the N Avocas is very strange but it is interesting imo at least
@@oscargonzalezc.8134 Right now he is the dominant one
@@arturgjoni8881 agreed
@@oscargonzalezc.8134 blondie has a limp right now, it might have changed.
The Lioness Roaring, at the end of the video,is Adorable.🌺🐈💚
You tell them go! No means no!
The Kambula lioness wasn't at all interested in the attention from the Gowrie male, knowing the Avocca male was present. Seems she had already made up her mind that she was done with him, though I'm probably reading too much into it. At the end she was wrapping the Avocca male around her pinky claw, big time, giving the cubs time to get away. Fascinating!
That barren lioness has probably mated with all the BBoys a hundred times. That must be so heartbreaking for her, She's keeps trying tho, thinking a different male might be the magic. She is bringing trouble in tho, luckily Nhena called for the girls to hide the cubs & the barren female lured Mohawk away. Altho Mohawk was tracking Nhena or was it the lioness? .. ugh.. .
@@brightnight1372 reliable sources on fb said this was edited and at the end it wasn't a Kambula but actually a nkuhuma lioness
She was prepared to rock his world behind that bush when she flopped down.
too soon to become a nomadic male lions for the 3 subadults. i hope they'll survive in the wild. there's three of them atleast odd are still in their favor. hope they'll follow the story of those three lions. The roaring of the new king is so majestic and i am also happy that theres no casualty happen here today.keep us updated, thank you so much for this wildlife experience.
i like the way the two majestic ones are showing off their love game while zebras and other citizens in their land are busy pissing themselves out of the site😂🤣🤣. Respect 🥰
Some sensational sightings MalaMala👌👍👍
Nhena is playing with FIRE ...
Thanks a lot MalaMala... love u guys
of all the 3 Northern Avocas "grumpy" Mohawk has always been the most aggressive and most ambitious ... the behavior of the Kambula lioness was also very interesting ...
D.m used to be the dominant fpr spme time
Plus blondie has dominated him plenty already.
@@captainpotato6856 probably so, dominance seems to be variable amongst lion brothers ... I was referring to his general character rather ...
It does seem to me that dominance within the coalition does not translate when foreign lions are involved. Scrapper of the BB boys was the omega but was the first to engage when it came to outsiders. Mr T was another example, for a long time dominated by his older brothers but truly hated other lions. Notch Grimace was also a low ranking male within the Notch coalitions but was first to engage other males. Charleston Mazino was the same way.
@@nothanks4573 You know your lion history, it's really impressive! It seems there are a lot of different KZhead channels that have videos of the same lions. How do you get the full story and videos in the correct order? I'm tired of the bits and pieces that I get.
Great footage by the guest and the MalaMala team. It looked as if every species was on the run from impending lion leadership/amoré chaos, except the elephants who were not having it! YAAS, This should have a Part 1 or To Be Continued sign.
Mighty Eventful Event At MalaMala!
I’m speechless... Raw nature at its best, however it breaks my heart when a takeover happens. Hopefully it doesn’t happen just yet. I hope a lioness or two, take all the young cubs and run to ensure their safety or simply break away. That would be a happy ending 🙏❤️🥰. Praying for the best. Thank you MalaMala for another great video 👏👏👏
Exactly. I hope one of the more gangster lionesses takes the subs out and away. Let the males settle their disputes.
Nice move for Nhenha. He runs as he was caught by surprise while tryin to mate and didn’t know if he was chased by one or two males. While Mohawk is such an agressive male and saw Nhenha first thinking for 1vs1 fight. For sure, Nhenha, is now looking for his brother. And my boy Tinyo will do his part.
I hope the youngsters don’t get caught in the middle by surprised. The BB need to stay together and show FORCE vs Avocas or Mohawk will attack
Finally good comment.. Nhenha did the right move, Mohawk on the other hand very stupid, he was gambling that Nhenha was alone, if Tinyo was around he would be in big trouble.. Over confidence might hurt him..
Typical male lion fight behavior. The dominant male of the area will retreat into the heart of his territory when surprised and confronted by a big male. It's a survival/fighting strategy, fight on your own terms when you have the upper hand. Although I think the N. Avocas will eventually win this war given their prime age, BBoys have had a legendary run and may soon have to fight for it or run. Shame age has caught up with them.
I totally agree
Looks like the ladies have already picked the Avocas even before the battle started. That's not good news for the Gowries/BH but they are an impressive pair and good fathers, I wouldn't write them off yet.
Excellent video of both the male and female lions calling out to each other.
Thanks 4This Great & Revealing Lion video ...
Great footage guys, thank you.
Cada vez que veo documentales o vídeos de leones, solo puedo decir, Magnífico!!
The avocas are in prime condition
They keep going on about a takeover.The Avocos need to keep a close eye on the other side of their territory.Looks like all my beautiful Mantimales that I wanted to stay in Sabie Sands seem to want to bring their sons over from the Kruger area so this could be close to where the Nukumus and talamati are
WOW. What a video of Mohawk chasing Nhena lion dynamics are changing it was a matter of time. It's so ironic that the Avocas are trying to take over the Kambula Pride when the BB boys vacated the Nkuhumas and the Avocas took there spot without resistance a few years ago now full circle. It will be more take overs to come with Coalitions coming for every side in the near future. Great Video
Awesome action MalaMala! Thanks for sharing!
Nhenha did a smart move, imo. As for the lioness choosing the Avoca over Nhenha, I am not convinced. She knew there were cubs around and she could have just been teasing Mohawk to move off the area the cubs were at. Mohawk still has to be careful because he went in without any support. We will wait and see... exciting stuff. I just hope there is enough area for the cubs to run to remain safe
That's exactly what I thought.
The most likely scenario.
Sure blonde avoca would be listening too.. 😉
6:00 she's saying, "hey, wanna come to my apartment and see the new curtains I got for the bedroom?" He's a little annoyed about his rival but really likes that musky perfume she wears.
LOL!
Lol
I wish they would shut up about this.Let them be.I think the Northern Avocos need to focus on the other side of their territory with the Nukumas because I heard the Mantimales are not to far from this pride
I L💖VE lion😘 my favorite
Total legends
Avoca boys are definitely a force to be recognized!!!" ❤
Mohawk is King 😍
Males would prefer not to fight if possible because they know if they get seriously hurt that their screwed. It doesn't mean he's a bloody coward.
But most of the times lions do not flee when it is theirs territory provided they are physically fit and not outnumbered like in this situation not to mention that sub adults were also present there.
@@zainullahbacha7957 They flee if they are alone and surprised. Run, run then on some point turn things around and chase back. If he stay and fight anything could happen. Blondie could be close by and help his brother. The 2 Avocas would hurt him badly or kill him in the fight. And they are younger lions.
Lioness was doing like a pick up line in a bar. Hey Big Boy, you want to see my talent in what I can do in the bush? And then she does her rolls in the high grass and looks at him, what do you think, Big Guy, Interested?
Love how the baby Elephants walk between the adults for protection. Lions are indisputably Kings!
Wow Avocas time is now.
I love Mohawk but I hate takeovers especially when small cubs, yearlings, and sub adults are still in the pride and have more to learn before they can survive on their own. I hope the lioness was able to get their babies away from danger. Again, I love Mohawk & I know it’s part of the circle of life...I just hate when the young ones get hurt or killed 😔💔.
People in the comments saying BBoy should have fought. That is how you end up like Baba Yao of Bila Shaka coalition in Masai, RIP. Caught off guard by 2 young males and stayed too long to fight/answer the challenge, show dominance and a third young male came and he was outnumbered at that point. Died of his injuries from them.
Great point
Also expecting him to stay and fight is typical humanization of lion dynamics. The fact he ran off does not mean he was scared or was not willing to fight. It could very well be he was luring the Avoca away from his Cubs and also into a location of his choosing.
@@FrankieKennethL Nhenha didn't know if Mohawk was alone or not, so ofc he didn't fight him straight away, it would be stupid move as Blondie might be just around the corner and its game over..
@@tr1x243 And mohawk didn't know if tinyo was around and went for Nhenha anyway, that was the difference.
Come on...mohawk was alone. I hope more from nhenha.
Amazing! This is getting spicy. Thanks for the awesome footage. 😊
Excellent sightseeing so much action
It was a surprise for me because the result was the opposite. I was thinking that Nhenha would be the one chasing Mohawk because the interruption plus BBoys were always chasing Avocas. But lions are unpredictable, who knows what happened in Nenha ‘s brain in that moment.
That lion got his nose down like a blood hound lol
Godam the mohawk Avoca conquer alone the area. I hope more from you nhenha.
Beautiful lions
The mapogo's were the true kings
@sherrie Baby agree with you. The best lions ever.
never again will the world most likely see another coalition like that, maybe even if there was 7 or more brothers in a coalition.
The mapogos had sex with their daughters, killed their relatives offspring and ate other lions though !!!!!!! They were really sick bastards ! Good fighters but not right in the head !
@@dantheman3022 All lions do like this because they are animals. Mapogos were true kings brave and Ruthless. Never defeated in their prime never defeated 1x1 Never defeated as a coalition. Makhulu killed Limper at age of 13 these were the signs of true lions. Never were never will be Ever best lions coalition in history.
@@dantheman3022 That's what animals do..
Another excellent video! I appreciate the narration all the while allowing the natural sound of these beautiful animals to shine through. I know it’s a difficult job to film nature at its best while tracking in a vehicle to try and go to places only the animal can go. Then trying to keep up with the action at the speed they go plus the speed & direction or change of direction at which they can travel! As a viewer, I can appreciate the danger you are in at such a close proximity at which, at anytime, they could run into or jump into your vehicle. 😳 I’m also amazed how you know which Lion pride a particular individual belongs to. Thank you for bringing Africa to us in lockdown. ❤️🐆🦒🐘🦓🦁🐃🐅❤️

Chella, Amber, and Ridgenose won this war💪🏻🌪️ as usual
Love the videos lions lions love love xxxx thank you
That Avoca male meant business. It was moving with so much intention
He was...
Oh boy. I honestly hate seeing Lions fight to the death. I cry. It's definitely not for the faint-hearted.
I know... But it's nature!
I wouldn't get your hopes up on a take over, he did come alone, looking for the girl who gets around lol. I'm more concerned for the sub adults if he comes back with his brother. Tinyo will be waiting!
Yes this infertile lioness is trouble
Exciting! 🤗💝
Would sure love to follow this new development.
Thanks for the intense video. Really good. Take care.
Northern Avocas will be close to the southern brothers!
The S.Avocas are still far south from where N.Avocas are and they wouldnt want to risk contact with the Nwaswishaka coalition
When you invite your girl for a drink in a bar and her ex-boyfriend breaks in with a heavy tusker police unit🤣😎👍
Yeah the Ellies photobombing had to be the best moment... like seriously?! Not now! 🤣
What a beautiful piece of the wild
I feel bad for the three young males forced to get out from the pride too soon. By the looks of them, they are way too inexperience to hunt and fend for themselves.
send them cash so they can rent a good apartment for them
@@awaiskarni4952 Looooool
@@awaiskarni4952 я эх эх не переживай я
They are still alive so they are ok
Wildlife show ... congratulations
The cubs are like: let’s get out of here.. Uncle Wallace around here causing trouble
😂😂😂causing trouble again.....jus like that drunk uncle that comes to your house uninvited
Thank you sir for your kindness to show us this wonderful vid...no chance to see this in Singapore
WOW excelente communication skills,🦁🦁🐾🐈❤️
I am surprised Gowrie male didnt put up a fight one on one in his own turf. Although Nhena is 10 year old he is extremely in good shape.
I think he run because of the surprise and he can't know for sure if has more than one in the area. If blondie and Mohawk are together he would be fucked
Only Mapogos had courage to fight one and one
@@jotaperdoros9654 That could be true but it looked like N. Avoca male Mohwak was also alone and he didnt know if there was Gowrie male coalition partner Tinyo was near by either when chasing after Nhena. What I think played out here is not Nhena worried about being out numbered but who was more aggressive and confident. It will be interesting how Nhena will respond once he finds Tinyo. Leave the area or seek after N. Avoca.
Nhenha is basically coward,
And he is a bit surprised as well, seeing such a huge lion in front all of a sudden
Great video!!
This fight has been years in the making. I recall the Avocas coming down into the Birmingham Boys/ Gowrie males territory back when they were with the Nkuhumas. When the Boys vacated the area, the Avocas just laid claim to an abandoned pride and territory free of charge. There was bound to be a battle, there’s so much movement in the lion world these past few months.
I know it's kind of exciting and scary there are also to many lone Males
I still remember when the 4 Birminghams moved to mala mala and the 3 avocas filled the vacuum created, Nsuku and tinyo returned to djuma and chased the avocas away but they returned back soon after.
Hahahahahahahahahah, 2 of the Birmingham boys went up to confront the three young Avoca boys had a skirmish and the Avoca took Sabi Sands note territory although not all the Bboys were interested in that bit of territory!
Mohawk, the grampy
Testing each other out for weaknesses but I don't see any takeover happening soon.
Very cool!!!
Wow, I'm curious how the Gowrie males will respond after the strategic retreat.
I like how riding around in an open air jeep somehow makes people invisible. The ultimate camouflage
Gajah ini rukun selalu bersama sama ke mana mana.
Me encanta
Poor youngsters running away scared 😢.
Woow.Thanks guys.They are not even interested at the preys around them.Female lion putting the tail up opening the 'house' and doesnt want a male to enter.Verry funny...
I love it
Well I hope the title of your next video is “The ‘Emperor’ Strikes Back”.
لكل من يمر من هنا فليصلي على الحبيب المصطفى صل الله عليه وسلم تسليما كثيرا

The camera view of this video is so clean. Love it man.
Serious roar!
Those three brothers will make a nice coloration one of these days if they sirvive
Love the footage but the rangers with their jeeps seem intrusive
She's trying to tell him she hasn't had enough drinks yet?!
nice video love safari animals
You should also thank your guide guy there too, for trying his best to find what is it that you never ever in ur life saw lol b4
Not long ago it was Tinyo who chased the Northern Avocas away not Nhenha. Nhenha may be the dominant one between the two brothers but when it comes to territorial fights it is always Tinyo who shows the aggression and choose to fight. At this moment Mohawk is in best physical shape and not to mention his aggressive nature he just went straight after Nhenha. I wonder why Nhenha chosed to flee as it was his territory and also there were cubs and sub adults around.
No 🤣, Nhenha chased both N Avocas a few months ago, not Tinyo
Because Nhenha was suprised, he was mating.. Nhenha has no info of Mohawk is there alone or not.. Also risky nove by Mohawk, he was gambling that Nhenha is alone, if Tinyo was also there he would be in big trouble..
@@tr1x243 but this shows that Mohawk is very confident and may be he want to take on the Bboys for a takeover as nowadays he is constantly pushing further south.
@@ldarkllrevanl181 nhena also run from blondie/mohawk on a hippo carcass in londolozi.
@@user-oc5ke5qr8n Exactly.
Great footage.
Fascinating video, lion politics at its greatest.
جميل جدا بصراحة
Saya sangat kesal lihat avoca melarikan diri dari Pertarungan maut Guernsy dengan 2 Mbri yang dibunuh dan dimakan, R.I.P Guernsy 😢
Haha, they come out better getting a drone!
The rise of the new Emperor
Cute lions and lioness
The N Avoca male Mohawk was contact calling as he was chasing Nhenha ... Nhenha knew this and that it meant the boy chasing him wasnt alone ... The N Avoca boys better not go too deep in Mala Mala because they lose any kind of environment knowledge and if the Gowrie boys separate them then they will be in trouble. One of them wont make it out.
I hope more from nhenha. Only mohawk was there.
I think Kambulas sees the weakness in Bboys. Now they prefer to mate with Avocas rather than Bboys. The Bboys are Nomad soon
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!! Come on gurl back that thang 🤪 up. I can keep it up for days. Day & knight, night n Day, 👁even HUMP on holidays 😀
Was not expecting this from Nhenha, he was/is the absolute dominant among the coalition even before the disappearance of Mfomu. The Mohawk was not even charging, he was observing Nhenha from a long distance and Nhenha to the lady: SEE YOU NEXT TIME :D
Mohawk had the upper hand as he suprised Nhenha, Nhenha didn't know what is happening or how many males are there so he fleed, smart move by him, on the other hand risky but brave move by Mohawk.. Also we dont know full story, Blondie was prob very close by as they where both seen together at MalaMala Camp, which is few hundred meters to where this happened.. Being dominant between your brothers and in a fight with hostile male is 2 different things, for example Blondie always dominates Mohawk also, but we do know that Mohawk is far more fierce and agressive.. Same goes for Nhenha, he is very powerful and can dominate his brothers, but guys like Tinyo, Scrapper, Mfumo where far more fierce and agressive.. And its not like Nhenha is afraid of fight, he chased both of N. Avocas last year, also many young males recently.. He just in this situation did chose to fight, its very rare that in takeover scenarios lions fight immidiately, usually there are few weeks of chasing back and forth, testing strenght, strategy etc..
@@tr1x243 Nhenha did a smart move from some points of view, but it's move makes/made Avocas more aggressive, confident and the takeover easier. Now the takeover is inevitable and I hope it last for few months for the sake of sub-adults. btw I was hoping for the Nwaswitshaka to move northover but now it is up in the air if northern Avoca choose to takeover CSS.
@@worldofsecrets6847 nothing is decided yet..
This was bound to happen... With the Kambula pride being split over the last few months, and mating with different males has peaked their interest. I mean they've been seen with the Avocas, Othawa, and Nwaswitshaka males. The Birmingham males are starting to feel the pressure from all sides.
yea it was only a matter of time, as the Avocas were entering in and out of Birmingham territory for months now and mating with atleast 2 kambula females a few months back, and their nearing the end of their prime years as they turned 11 this year as he Avocas are primed and young.
Luckily, there was no blood bath happening. I know it is nature and inevitable in lion society, but I feel very sad to see they are fighting each other and get injured.
me too!
Come on Gowries show them who is BOSS of the best place in KNP! Thanks MalaMala!
Naagta sida u wasma jecel ma aha ee wa midgaan baarale
Mighty BB boys seems to be in big problem next few months.... this AVOCAS prime lions are very dangerous
Is there any update on the Marthly pride?
