MalaMala Safari Moments: Episode 98.
A bitter-sweet video as this was the last time we viewed all 5 cubs. The following day, in the same area, a Northern Avoca male killed 2 of the cubs.
...
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.
I've always loved how the lion cubs bother dad. It's so fascinating that Dad even knows these are his. Also, the cubs instinctively feel like, "Oh, dad's grouchy today".
They know it by smell. Pretty crazy huh? And cool.
and wonderful to witness!@@kam0073
LOL
Lion knows the cubs are his and/or the other male in the alliance because he/they killed any cubs that were there when he/they took over the Pride.
The dad has a face that shows his life history. Difficult life in the wild.
He need a Deep shampoo and Blow.
Battle Scars, Scars Of Honour,
noticed that myself.......
Agreed soloa. I can relate to him after 40 years in IT
But this is why his family is fully fed & safe & prospering. A father's sacrifice can never be underestimated #FATHERSMATTER
Dad looks like he had just got back from a tough fight and won!
Barely won.
@@azmagaref there is no barely in the jungle. One wins and the other dies. The kids were probably enjoying the spoils.
@@thetruthfornow6045 Nope, not all fights between lions (or predators) result in fatalities, usually it ends with submitting defeat. I have no idea where you come up with this baseless assertion, that for one to win the other must die!
@@azmagaref I have never seen a lion risk his health to win a fight. As the king of the jungle no one would risk fighting him. They would run. If it were a hippo or such the lion would not bother unless the animal was injured. The king cannot risk an injury because he would end up the prey to a bunch of wild hyenas. You have been watching animals in captivity who get fed regularly. Like the lion versus the tiger. Many fights on you tube and no deaths.
@@thetruthfornow6045 They're very robust and can take a lot of damage! Yes, instinctively they avoid injuries most of the time! Being from bigger pray like hippo or large cape buffalo. But their instincts also drive them to fight for alpha status, hence risking injuries for turf, status and females. Some fight and die, a lot survive to fight another day. This is based on watching lion documentaries and footage, not zoo fights!
It's great that the lioness and cubs are with Tinyo. Considering his rough condition, she still has trust and faith in him as their protector
That doesn't looke like Tinyo.
@@Pllm30 *HE WAS TINYO DUMMY.HE DESAPEARED DAYS AFTER THAT VIDEO,HE WAS SUPER SICK.*
@@mrefrainjimenezify tinyo always had a soft spot in his heart for his cubs he must have been very sick for him to push his cubs away
Idk why people have to insult others and yes Tinyo was an awesome Lion pop
@@mauroblack6284facts, lions are lookalikes, make a mistake and you're a dummy😩
Male lions from the day they're born face a life of pure hell. These are some of the most majestic animals on earth and I have great admiration for them. It's tough enough that they endure other animals but add humans into the equation and it makes life much harder. Long live these amazing warriors 🦁
😂😮
@Blur nobody is even talking about tigers, eat some frosted flakes and take yo ass to bed TONY TIGER 🐅
Yes they are incredible
Охрана должна у всех животных
You could also say that about human males - more especially black males
Mom is enjoying bliss and calm taking a nap while dad can't seem to catch a break being annoyed constantly by his kids, lol. Adorable family. 💕
Sadly 2 of these cubs seen here were mauled and killed just one day after this video was recorded. They were killed by another male lion. This big male also died recently. It's the sad reality of wildlife.
i love tinyo..patient and observant of his cubs..legend
Very patient indeed
Me too, its super amazing to come to know that male lions can put aside their heartless nature at some point with their cubs ... i love it that way
Legendary indeed 🦁💞💞💞
The life of lions is not easy. Thankful we get to view these cubs interacting with dad, mum and each other. It is sad that two cubs were killed, but that is nature...beautiful and brutal.
Well said.
This is so well said.

Thanks for giving away the video.
@@tgoodm1 You should watch the video before you read the comments.
It’s beautiful how fierce and dangerous dad can be and his babies don’t heed the warning to leave him alone 😂😂😂
Dear old Tinyo, always kind to cubs. R.I.P. King Tinyo
I just read that Tinyo (the male lion) died in end of 2021, so from 5 males it’s down to 2; at least he won’t have to suffer & limp around anymore. R.I.P. Tinyo 🦁 ❤
here can i watch the documentary
That one cub just had to persist😂& eventually was chastised by Tinyo. I hope no more cubs are lost🙏tragic news. I will remain hopeful that the Bboys💘still have some fight left in them if their stories are anything to go by, I hope Tinyo is healing & their pride stays safe. Thank you so much🙌*𝓜𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓜𝓪𝓵𝓪*✌️
Thanks, for the video . Cute family 🌹❤️
Too darn sweet. A lovely day at the beach for the family. Enchanting to see the babies showing love for daddy, and daddy's being gentle with them for the most part. Mommy's chill as usual. She's earned a break. A beautiful sweet cat family. Take care!
The most favorite in the world to me is male lions. Male lions with their cubs is the cherry on top. I watched this with a smile and tears. Knowing 2 of these precious cubs are no more and seeing the mighty Tinyo aging. However I have learned one has to take the good with bad in their world. All this is their way. Thanks Guys as Always
Agreed 100%.....It's beautiful and sad at the same time. I just love Tinyo too!! He's looking pretty rough here. 😢💜👑
oh my god how did those 2 babies die? tragic.
K lo why ur daughter broke up with a rod. Ur a grandma ma deal with it
K lo why your broke up with a rod?
@@amyjo18 maybe he needs a meal
Didn't know dad lions could be so much patient and tolerant to their cubs
Well if he actually attacks the cubs he'll be attacked by the lioness and he knowsit
Man I think he is is just that exhausted from battles and living life
@@TheKianykinNo that's not why he is patient. A lion will not kill his cubs or hurt his cubs. However another lion's cubs he can kill with no mercy infront of the mother and they would do nothing. It happens all the time
It is joyful seeing these scenes but also sad knowing two of the cubs were later killed. I hope Tinyo and Nhenha stay strong to protect the remaining cubs and their pride. They need to stick together.
@jim jones I hope he isn't on death's door, hopefully he will be around at least another year. Unless there is another video or posting showing him in a weaker state? Stay strong in this case means stick together and not get caught on 2 v 1 with the Avocas.
@Leo L Yes, sometime back in October/November last year.

Those poor cubs are like " dang dad we just want to to say good morning" cubs are thinking. Grumpy daddy..😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️ so cute I love Nature and all the animals in it..
The cubs needs more nourishment from their mother. Bless this wonderful family
Tinyo always was the grumpy father but gentle in his rebuffs even when he was ill.
Yeah..I think he's grumpy because he wants to sleep and the cubs just want to be near him.
name of the documentary
@firdosa bashir I think Tinyo was featured in a documentary, but i don't recall which one specifically. You can find more clips of Tinyo and the rest of his coalition and the prides they conquered between 2018 and 2022 on KZhead. Originally, the coalition consisted of 5 males known as the Birmingham coalition. Tinyo was the 4th to disappear. Leaving only Nhenha. Who was around 13 years old. But he hasn't been seen for over a month after he was spotted with injuries sustained after a fight and mauling by the Plains Camp duo. He is believed to be gone now as well.
Aww how precious ❤ Tinyo has always been great with his cubs. Thanks Mala Mala.
Mighty Tinyo protect his cute cubs be takecare. They are all together stay safe, so sad I feel so sorry for two cubs. Thanks for the update and great video MalaMala
Tinyo is a very great dad.He has alot of patience.Nhena is a good dad.Nehna use to visit the lone Tslsa female and his daughter.I was so happy when the lone Tslsa finally had a cub but sad when she lost two of them from cheetahs or hyenas.Now she has company instead of being all by herself.I wish Tinyo Nehna and this pride all the best.
Such a beautiful sighting, curious and playful little cubs but Tinyo just needs some peace and quiet today. As always guys, thank you so much.
Hi Beautiful Friend lovely words.
@@kimberlylopez9402 HI Kimberly and thank you, my heart goes out to Tinyo. ❤
@@annettelane659 mine too❤️
I remember Tinyo and his four brothers when they first came into Sabi Sands they were so full of vigor so young and now look at him today he`s showing not only his age but to look at his body condition of many battles with other lions and his pray. I feel that the lion has one of the toughest and hardest life`s of all the wild life for it`s a very short life and for the battle that is raging between these two coalition we know who will suffer the most it will be the cubs and their mothers war is war even in the human world we do the same. RA 68 HELL FIRE
Me too! The BBoys have ways been my favorite coalition. Been following them since right before Scrapper died. Love them!
It’s true their lives are very difficult despite being such predators.
Tough becoz they are born as "Lion"
When they are old, no one will hunt for them
Such a gentle papa.
I love lions & elephants, they are so beautiful, strong, loyal, protective, loving & intelligent. 😊💜🌸🦁
Got to give Tinyo alot of credit for protecting all these cubs including the subadults.I heard it takes alot out of a male when it's mating time.No wonder why he is thin and tired looking.The mating playing with these cubs and all their patrolling.Two beautiful boys Tinyo and Nhena and I wish them all the best.
That Lion has endured so many battles, protects his family, has endured so many injuries and has so many scars as a token & gift. Lions are the bravest of fighters.
Wow that male lion looks injured and hungry but still a good dad
These lions all look quite hungry. The male definitely is weak, limping and his ribs are visible.
❤Daddy must be tired or grumpy look at the size of Dad's teeth Wow and Momma is just hanging out Beautiful Family ❤
Tinyo has learned to be a good daddy lion. I'm heartbroken about the two cubs. Sweet babies.💕
Thank you for bringing us all these amazing, beautiful sightings!
Beautiful family, but yes, they all need a good nourishing meal.❤❤
Stunning footage! Hope these cubbies can survive the changes that may start to happen with the males in the near future
It's really nice to see lions just chilling out
Tinyo really needs to eat if he’s going to heal. I would hate to see him slowly waste away like Nsuku. This litter of 5 cubs seem to be doing very well.
2 of them died
He ate and full his belly in londolozi some days after it.
@@lincolnhenriquemartins354 I know, I just found out earlier. 😭
The B boys maybe coming to the end of their reign. Do we know if any of the females in this pride have been mating with Avocas?
@@yvonnem.langlois5197 yes
Very cute family.. Soooooooo beautiful to admire them.. As like human family..
Wow, so nice to see lions and their cubs having family time together, mom, dad and the kids. Like seeing the Brady Bunch around the dinner table, lol.
To see these newborn cubs, just starting their life, beside this weathered and old lion at the end of his circle. Really amazing.
Love you tinyo they won't let you go knowing we want to see you again tinyo you are the best a great warrior
*The female lionesses are the true Queens. They do all the hunting, taking care of the young, and for the most part, love their babies. Many male lions are impatient with their cubs, but this one was a bit more tolerant than some. Mom put the breaks on the nursing I see lol Dad took off for a while--this is a true family lol*
Yes, they all have their roles to play, just the way nature intended and did its thing with their evolution. I've seen some videos where the dads are very very playful. This one here was a bit rough, and he did look emaciated and injured quite a bit.
Yes everyone in a successfully family has a role to play. Moms do the hunting n nurturing and dad protects & keep their territory hyena free.
@@o.c.g.m9426 Yes for the most part females do the hunting but when the pray is too big and powerful they call the male for help. Male Lions also go through hell when they become teens because they get kicked out of the pride and need to survive and hunt by themselves. His called the king for a reason and his major role os to protect the pride from other males and hyenas.
Lions are impatient because the one time they return to their prides, they'll be exhausted from patrolling their territory and fighting off rivals and hyenas. They'll just want rest and they'll be under pressure of dealing with the next enemy. If you look at lions that live safer lives, they'll be a lot more patient and even play with their cubs
@@dariusbrock2713 Yes, and the females are also tired from hunting all day, taking care of their cubs, and trying to rest as the cubs are all over them. I would take patrolling any time.
We spent a lot of time with these cubs in late June. We saw the Northern Avoca males too. So sad that they were able to take the lives of two of these playful little babies! I know that is nature at work, but I don’t have to like it! 😢
Sad dad he fights to keep protected and ALIVE HIS HANSOME FACE IS SO BEATEN UP IS A MAP OF FIGHTS FOR THEIR LITTLE LIVES!!
❤️
Tinyo is a good dad So patient haha I feel sorry for him though his condition i hate when they age 😢 I have to agree it's very bittersweet for those two cubs 😢😢😢💗💗💗 Thank you for a lovely video as always ~
Thank you for sharing this again i truly miss tinyo thank you again
Can you imagine cameras, clicking at you all day long?❤
Thank you for the video . Cute family ❤️🌹
Our pleasure!
The father must keep the love tough inorder to raise strong young Lions in his pride .. . So adorable
good old Tinyo, he always seems to be a favorite of the cubs ... reminds me of the WE clip of him and his Styx cubs from 2017 ... age has caught up with him in the meantime ...bless his soul ...
😢 oh pure dad, old male lion ❤️🩹
Daddy doesn't look well. Babies, just wanna give him a hug 🤗
So beautiful....thank you But sad knowing 2cubs lost
Beautiful lions and cubs.. Tinyo, is gorgeous I'm praying for his health! Enjoyed watching this video! Thank you👋👋👋💞
The male lion is my favorite , he tries so so so hard to be loving. but most of the time its not possible . :)
Mom is always calm patience their kids 💞💞
Dad is in such bad condition 😔😪that's why is so nervous with kids...so sad for the two cubs, hope the others will make it ❤
Crazy lion life twists from May to now but that's what we love real nature for, watching animals at zoo is kinda boring. Thanks again for the video!
Kids are playing dad chills in his chair then the kids are saying oh dad dont fall asleep yet Great vids ❤
I love you tinyo miss you too. You are alive i don't care what they say i miss you very very much those cubs love him
@4:02 this cub is fearless, brave. He. or she will be an extraordinary lion, a leader as an adult.
Tinyo is such a good father. It has to be killing him to feel so bad around his cubs. I hope by some miracle he comes back.
I believe it with all my. Heart
Thank u for this incredible fascinating lion family!!! Keep posting more fascinating very interesting educational videos like this!!!
Dad looks hungry what a beautiful family get well soon dad
That dad is a badass with all those scars.
The cubs are so cute.❤
There was something sad about this video. The cubs were thin and very lethargic. Poor babas! Breaks my heart to hear cubs being killed.
Hermoso cuadro. Bello el padre no quiere jugar primero es su sueño. Padre malhumorado .
Está cansado harto de la vida seguro. Tendrá hambre ?
Amazing ❤!! Love cubs…and the King too.!
Dad: I could eat your face, you know. Cub: I know, but you won't. Sweet video.
My favorite video of Tyno
It's so funny to see wild animals get as annoyed with their kids as humans do. But the little cubs still have the spirit to keep annoying their parents, because they know they're loved even if they're a pain in the butt. Poor Dad looks so tired and worn out.
Dad looks tired, beaten up and bruised, the cubs want to play but it's obvious Dad is irritated and coming off from a recent fight or flight type of encounter, he's not settled and relaxed, I can only imagine how difficult and brutal an outside pride attack is, and the toll it physically takes on the male King lion whose trying to protect and defend his pride and territory.
The process of 'lionalisation' 🔥💞🔥
The Cubs are not afraid of him😂
😂
Wunderschön aber der Papa schaut erschöpft aus und sehr dünn 😢❤
Tinyo oder wie der Löwe geheißen hat hat angeblich einen schweren Kampf gehabt wie in den Kommentaren zu lesen ist, so steht er auch aus sehr dünn und Kampf Spuren im Gesicht! Ist mittlerweile gestorben angeblich schon der Löwe!
Tinyo has been through a lot since the last time I seem him.
Lions seriously lounge around like they own the jungle 😅
Pretty sure Dad just wants to be left alone. These little ones want his love but he is hurting and tired and hungry
Papai parece velho e cansado,esses filhotes são demais 😮😮😮😮kkkk ♥️
that is a very hardened lion pride. u can tell by the scars not only on the male but the females as well. which tells me that when they feed it gets pretty rough. so food is likely hard to come by. that is one of the most scard up pride i have seen in a while. I would imagine they have one heck of a life story
he is to small think he starved ... hope they dont just filming .... and give them food and water litttle bit
that Lion seems to have had many fights, and also recently. He has many recent scars and he looks exhausted, it seems that he won but now he needs to rest.
I am happy, TO SEE the Beautys Lions. I love it ❤️❤️❤️. WILD AND FREE !!!
He is beautiful ❤
Такая милота львиная🥰🥰🥰
Dad looks near the end of his reign
It's a tough life being a cub with a territory being challenged. Those Birminghams need some good meals to help this pride out.
What a beautiful video 💯💯💯
Dad has been in some battles.
This is true love ❤.

His condition show how hard to be a lonely king.
Wow, that dad has seen a day or two!
As leoas são maravilhosas!
AIN'T NO TWERKING GOING ON IN THAT FAMILY! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how beautiful intelligent lions they just IGNORE HUMANS, LOL!!!
Love Tinyo
The look of the father indicates he is nearing his end.
I love these 2 older boys' but I'm afraid they're no match for 2 Avoca Males the only chance is that they fight one against 2 , like when Mohawk venture's in by himself. When did the Avoca kill 2 cubs first that I have heard this any video, wow he's losing condition now I fear big-time for the cubs and males
Beautiful lion pride. Papa lion is handsome, but he looks a little thin and like he's been in a fight recently. I know this is unrealistic, but I wish when the lions get injured, a team of game wardens can take the lion(s) to a vet, treat them and when they have healed, return them to their pride. I just hate to see an animal hurt.
Dad’s had enough, but he’ll still protect them. The moms have more patience.
Beautiful.
Very cool! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
