What a lion S8 was. Great tribute, thanks
Thank you! RIP S8 lion king 🦁👑🙏🌻🌈
It's always tragic when one of these magnificent beasts passes away, especially considering how the lion population is under threat like so many other animals
Thank you…!!! So glad to see a tribute for S8 that is not clips of his horrific death…. Just him looking his best…!!! RIP KING…🌈🌈🌈🌈 👑 🦁🐾🐾💕❤️💋🙏🏻
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful wild cat.
Thank you Alistair. Thank you for the tribute to the S8 male. Well deserved. It was very upsetting to see him suffer at the end of his life. Miss you on the Virtual Safari also.
Rest in peace amazing lion.
A wonderful tribute to S8
Thank you for this lovely tribute to our beloved S8 male lion. Such a sad ending for him but he will live on in our hearts. RIP beautiful boy. We will remember you always and forever. ❤💯
Hell yeah I agree 💯 persent let's go beautiful s8 male 😢❤️ true legend and warrior rip gone but never forgotten believe that bro ❤️🦁👑
So thoughtful. Thank you so much for this informative tribute. I had not know two of this lionessess passed.😢 They're all together now..over the rainbow bridge. 🌉❤❤
A Beautiful Sighting & Tribute To King S8 Male! S8 Male was a magnificent and majestic stunning King who is missed by us.There seems to be a misunderstanding, King Dark Mane ruled and reigned over the Talamati Pride until his demise of which there are videos of King Dark Mane with his Original Talamati Pride after S8 was able to pull three of the lionesses away from him that proves that King Dark Mane remained as their dominant ruler until his death occured. King S8 didn't take over the Talamati Pride, just three lionesses who sired his legacies and they became known as The Talamati Breakaways. I was very upset with S8 Male when he first arrived creating chaos for my King Dark Mane, however, like many others, I grew to love him and as time passed by, I realized that S8 Male was the best paws that the Talamati Breakaway Queens could have fallen into. King S8 was a phenomenal leader and protector over his Talamati Breakaway Pride and territory. We lost two of the Talamati Breakaway Queens and the rambunctious fearless S8 cub and now the extraordinary King S8 Male has joined them. He was a courageous and strong lone force who accomplished a lot during his reign and rule for a big boy with no partner or partners. R I P. Remarkable & Fierce King S8 Male! Thanks Tintswalo, Such A Beautiful Presentation!
I totally understand and agree 💯 persent I felt the same way when beautiful s8 male started messing with My boy beautiful dark mane 😢 RIP but with time I feel in love 💕 with beautiful s8 male 😢 a true legend and warrior rip gone but never forgotten believe that let's go beautiful s8 male 😢❤️ bro ❤️🦁👑
Dark Mane is dead?
RIP 🙏 S8 BEAUTIFUL KING 🤴
🇮🇪 wow brilliant video sharing it's wonderful the lions are amazing my favourite animals 🦁🐈🐈🐈🦁
Beautiful tribute to S8 Imbali magnificent male going to miss that roar rest easy big boy❤
Been awhile since we've seen you. Good to see you now.
Welcome Alistar. Thanks for this special tribute for the incredibke, legendary S8 Imbali King🦁👑 I ckearly renember your content introducing him as King of the Suoer Pride, 21 Imbali Lions. This may ve a good time to repost. I respect and appreciate the absence of ridiculous, inconsistent details that others have distastefuly narrated. Many are disheartened about circumstantial evidence that suggests his demise was allegedly not natural. I'm repulsed from viewing Wild Life Content as a result, but I was relieved to see Virtual Safari's notification. Thanks for keeping it rprofessional, short, sweet.
You guys are great thank you so much,God bless.he was a great lion and will be missed❤😊
I miss that Beast all ready. He was a stunnig Boy, alone but allways a true Leader allways. He loved to patrol and he didnt shy away of littel rumbel while on patrol, i was scared when he and RedRoad meet... I tought no men not my 2 favorit but in the end it was 💪💪💪 littel rumbel amongst to Kings and everything was fine. Yes i miss him.... Imbali King of S8, Talamati breakaways RIP my Boy i love you
Cam you cite the video when RED and S8 met which made you sad?
RIP Great King......
My deepest condolences! 🙏❤️
❤awesome tribute to a amazing lion S8 is so missed,rip S8 gone but not forgotten ❤
Even if I am not convinced by a natural death or desease caught by King S8, I tend more to think that humans once again are responsable of his death or at least did nothing to save him. However this tribute is excellent and rare from a staff member of these parks or reserves 👍. He promised us (S8 and all cats and animals lovers) to tell us the truth on S8 death regarding the authopsy results... let's hope truth will be said. RIP magic King 🦁 S8 ❤ 🙏
I'm with you 💯 percent 😢😢 and I'm not convince either it's breaks my ❤️ it's so sad like I said days before he was roaring patrolling mark senting and the lioness got snare and the subadult went missing they were all going in different ways not knowing what to do looking for their mother auntie then after that he gets sick every time that a lion get snare poison supposedly missing you tell me oh I forgot trophy hunting how sick is that don't understand it there's so many things that you could do with your time then going out and shooting lion and the government of Africa gets pretty good money for that it makes me so sick and nauseous I mean this is a new generation how is it thats still allowed 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 the fact is that we don't even have the lions that we had before they're going instinct they are instinct and that's not even including cheetahs leopards hyenas wild dogs and so on not fair live and let live bad enough that they're battling one another and they have to worry about humans so a tribute to S8 my beloved 👑👑 you will never be forgotten now you are with your brothers watching over your family we love you from Chicago 🦁👑🦁
The autopsy stated he died from TB and had injuries that looked related to buffalo.
I totally agree 💯💯 persent let's go beautiful s8 male RIP 😢❤️ true legend and warrior rip gone but never forgotten believe that bro ❤️🦁👑
My doubts won't ever been lifted, ... TB at lions is an easy explanation often presented by parks and reserves staff. TB takes time to put down an adult lion (poor 🦁 Lambile TB sick for months) and of course if you add buffalo injuries ... the case S8 is close ! We just can remember S8 as a remarkable King 🦁 who's life ended a lot too early as many others like him ... and it would not be surprising that humans were behind that in one way or an other... RIP King ❤ 🙏
@@jpcattaneo8181 beautiful said and look what's going on with his family now the lioness looks horrible conditions the Sabbath does look like their anorexia The protector is gone it just seems like it was all st up but they don't want to hear it it's easy for them to say leave my sighting when you have an opinion well no I won't leave like I said we are there eyes ears and voice and even that doesn't help so I hope the talamati gets lucky with a hunt cuz if they continue like this they will all die so 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😣😣😣 sad situation bad situation I love ❤️❤️❤️ my talamati what's left of them pride
Lovely tribute!
Such beautiful creatures
Silvereye, Talamati Queen and now S8 The natural cycle of life ... yet still poignant 😢
Nothing natural about s8’s death or that of his two lionesses (daughter’s of silver eye and queen T) who died in exactly the same way from healthy to puking, to dead in 48-72 hours
the lionesses were positively ancient @@luvmyaussie9561
@@luvmyaussie9561hell yeah 👍 I totally agree 💯 present have a great day besafe ✌️🤗 bro ❤️🦁👑
Rest in peace beatiful S8/Imbali male or even Einstein , what happend to the super pride?
good tribute for a legend Lion!
He was my Mkali 🥰
Some good music too.
Will someone please post a tribute also to the Skorro male that was killed recently? I have seen a couple of videos about Rasa being the one of the two brothers that was killed. I only know that the brother witht the reddish mane and who was the thicker built of the two is my favorite lion of them all. He is such a good father and brother and is the most beautiful lion I have ever seen. I hope he was not the brother killed. Please and thank you. The boys fathered many cubs and I worry what is to happen now to the Mynbula pride. The genes in those lions are just lovely to see. I hope the Skorro males' cubs survive. Best looking lions!
I remember very well ,when you introduced me to the s8 male , I guess couple years back he came into the area and the 3 females were swarming all over him, and like a Stud he was, mated with all 3 females in that video literally 15 ft from each other, that day I said to myself I never witnessed such a Majestic Male lion handle himself so well, and he was big and strong and beautiful! also I watched S8 scatter Dark Mane and his family with a few sub adult males, on a Buffalo kill, S8 gave them a broad side strunt and Dark Mane with his limp took off for his life along with the rest of the pride, Then S8 proceeded to roar and chase them down a road, it was magnificent to watch, even the guide couldn't believe what she was watching, she actually called Dark Mane a name I'd rather not say about a Beautiful male no longer with us, anyway S8 was so beautiful and a great provider and protector, but there was news never confirmed that Red Road gave him that nasty cut above his eye on his forhead, and also it could of come from a fight with the BD males, or the Kruger male, so nothing was ever confirmed? I believe about his injury above his eye, but I did hear a report it was TB contracted from a Buffalo kill also a few injuries he had from that kill, the guide also mentioned he had a hornets nest in his grown area, but they did mention that the cut above his eye had nothing to do with his death, which I don't believe is true, when these lions get injured and are up in age , there system weekens to help them fight off TB , and the injured I think contributed to S8 losing his life! it's was a very interesting piece on lions and TB, I learned alot from that guide, how true or untrue I have no idea , but sounded legit to Me,and i really know nothing about that!!
The lion with the three females was apparently Scar, the larger of the Mbiri male coalition of Scar and Shaka.
@RO-uz4oi Thank you , at the time he wasn't sure, but ty
Your Welcome. I too thought he was s8 for 2 years. @@Murf1802
Neither the highly mobile S8 Imbali until November 6 2023 NOR the TWO HEALTHY and highly mobile TALAMATI BREAKAWAYS lLIONESSES who also got suddenly sick, exhibiting EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS S8, deteriorated quickly and died in 48-72 hours (one in April 2023 and the other June 2023) showed ANY (NONE) of the following symptoms of either bTB (chronic or rapid progressive- which are by the way the EXACTLY the symptoms AND Do NOT have or mimic any dramatic symptoms of poisoning witnessed and described before the Sabi Sabi Authorities’ usual official pre scripted explanations): the signs of bTB include emaciation, poorly healing skin lesions, swollen joints and limbs, lameness, blindness, and eventuating in anorexia. They did show symptoms that are consistent with poisoning: very stiff body posture, arched back, hunging down the head posture, vomiting and/or nausea and/or salivating, lip licking and smacking, initially always looking like trying to vomit/expel (present if poison ingested by especially), difficulty walking, sitting, getting up, loss of muscle coordination, excessive thirst, suffering for 48-78 hours and dying etc and described by every one who first witnessed it as looking poisoned, ate something bad, or snake bite. Could have been from poacher poison laced pray but based on the exact symptoms the S8 and the 2 Talamati breakaways lionesses exhibited, it is likely they got primary or secondary poisoning from a kind of poison lodges place to get rid of rats. There is absolutely nothing random about 3 adult members of this pride to dying in 48-82 hours from same symptoms and the 4 one to gets snared and gets inadequate care as usual without a smidgen of of thought and effort to at least reunite her with her 1.8 months old kidz who can’t hunt in their own and watching kidz huddled and eating sricks and mom missing each-other 2 full weeks thereafter until the kidz got so skinny and weak that afterwards they were reunited, the S8 got poisoned and died, the lioness not healed properly to have strength to hunt bigger pray - the kidz continued to loose muscle mass and don’t have strength to help mom now). All could have been prevented if there was meaningful coordinated and competent effort with intent of successful outcome. Neither the S8 Imbali nor the 2 Talamati breakaways lionesses had following symptoms of SEPSIS: * loss of consciousness * severe breathlessness * a high temperature (fever) or low body temperature * a change in mental state - like confusion or disorientation * cold, clammy and pale or mottled skin * a fast heartbeat * fast breathing * chills and shivering * severe muscle pain * feeling dizzy or faint * diarrhoea Also regarding bizarre wasp theory - Unless an organism have a particular allergy (not bTB illness); and although symptoms of multiple stings include nausea and vomiting(also not applicable to bTB), all other symptoms such as difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, or wheezing, hives, skin rush, blue skin from poor circulation, tongue swelling, difficulty swallowing, facial swelling, mental confusion, nasal congestion…. Don’t apply to either bTB or poison (albeit wasp poison) nor to what s8 or his lionesses exhibited. If anaphylactic reaction- it happens at the rate that over- rides bTB. HOW MANY STINGS KILL? If you are not allergic, even more than 1100 stings are survivable for human, if not leads to loss of consciousness and anaphylactic shock. Other than vomiting, S8 Imbali had none of symptoms above and had no trouble swallowing and drinking excessive amounts of water for two days. From 99% bTB certainty to 💯 percent confirmation - why waste time and money and resources for 1% certainty, and in culture and mentality that will not think to waste resources to reunite a snared sole provider lioness with her starving youngster although that injury not debatably human caused.
@luvmyaussie9561 ty, alot of detailed information, but bottom line, it looks like rat poisoning. What a shame, thanks for info
Thank you for this tribute to one fine king warrior!! He is definitely missed by the lone Talimati female and the five subs or is the male still missing? I just have a hard time from what i could see and tell it made me think pouson the way he was doing and when Cedric even ask him what did you eat my boy? There was a picture that also showed blood in his mouth. Im not a vet but imo all signs lead to poisin? The you for keeping us posted. Was they going to do one on the two girls from Talimati breakaway as well, that is what was so concerning. Plus poaching on a rise? So i have heard. Sorry we lost this great king and he blessed us with many memories and his legacy will live on i hope thru the last litter. I hope they beat the odds and make it to adulthood!! Rip beautiful boy
Yes he's gone the young subadult so sad they all got separated when the lioness got snare and that was the beginning of tragedy the lioness subadult and then S8 makes me so sad this pride has been going through so much so😢😢😢😢 this is one of my favorite pride I worry so much for them and now they have to worry about humans so to answer your question the young talamati is gone you tell me what you think may God be watching over the lioness and the subadult ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Idk what to think there was too many took from that one pride and with S8 too. Just seems to not be a coincidence?
These are the sightings that include s8 yam yams buffalo( then compare to Tess’s story on WE on the 12 th ro find out where rumor of broken tooth started and turned by Nov 8 into healed broken jaw (although s8 after that is roaring, patrolling and eating) Thursday, 12 October 2023 (34°C) :The Imbali male lion and three young males feeding on a Cape buffalo kill at Vrystaat Clearing. Wednesday, 11 October 2023 (33°C) * The Imbali male lion feeding on a Cape buffalo cow kill at Vrystaat Clearing. * Three young male lions and one Talamati lioness feeding of a Cape Buffalo kill at Rubbing Post Dam. Monday, 9 October 2023 * The Imbali male lion mobile north from Vrystaat Clearing. Then after this on nov 14 this is how s8 is described: Western boundary of Djuma, Access gate, just south of Vuyatela: 16yo malnourished lioness still following lions, S8 lion, WildEARTH, AM Oct 14 2023- 6 Talamati breakaways and s8 Imbali and queen T S8 fat healthy. Tess literally say, he looks fantastic, exceptionally strong and say “he is not loosing weight” he is solo lion, up against all other coalitions for this long. He is stronger than we think. He is looking very good. And they left to cross to Simbalili. Tess says I saw on social media he may have been in fight with Buffaloes or other males ( I don’t know I might be mistaken) about being kick in the face by buffalo and possibly chipping his toot. Somebody said, on social media a day or two ago” However not only that there is not a video or photo of s8 Imbali having been kicked by a buffalo that Tess is referencing she “thinks” she saw, but Tess’s comments on WE are then cited in comments on others social media sites and in a reposts of injury above the right eye and left temple that happened on sep 7 and or sep 8, was first captured on video on September 9 (and no one knowns what happened some say buffalo some say RED Road - all speculation) but is reposted and re- mentioned in different contexts throughout the rest September and October making it appear it not only happened several times but earlier. Then look at WE from Cedric referencing now the fight with Kruger male rumor while referring to the same injury s8 sustained on sep 8 that keeps growing out of proportion and fantasy due to rumors only and reposting of injury from 2 months ago): UPDATE S8 lion ROARS then sleeps under gawre, still on Impala planes. Chela lioness, map, WildEARTH, PM Oct 08 2023. Cedric discusses- it is speculation how he got that gash above his right eye- some say it is red road male he fought, some say it was Kruger male. I don’t know. Then Cedric says, when was that? 2 weeks ago? No 3 weeks ago? See WE Sept 12 that was first time s8 was in WE and Cedric said he was fine except the gush that was already healing and that he was on a mission). Another indication that it was the Mapogo Lions video who started the rumor with misguided video titles. As for oct 8, the s8 Imbali is shown as sleeping most pm or roaring when not sleeping. At evening time got up and went west towards gwaree area
Also I forgot to include that if you watch WildEARTH, AM Oct 14 2023 Tess, after referencing social media rumor of s8 being kicked by buffalo two day before, literally say out of her own lips “He doesn’t look like he got kicked by the he buffalo. “
@@luvmyaussie9561 I did not see the one with Tess. So sad.
I agree!😢
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It’s really sad that pride is going to struggle they probably already have. It’s tough for those subadult thank goodness they have the adult female one of the mothers.
watch WildEARTH, sunset Nov 25 2023, Cedric supporting Chitwa Chitwa rangers and Sabi Sabi authorities again- when sole remaining Talamati breakaways lioness was snared in Myneleti and snare removed in Chitwa Chitwa- in oct 23 2023- everyone was not only questioning why this happens only to this pride but why they would not release this lioness close to her 5 kids who were starving for 3 weeks while mom, them, and s8 were looking for eachother. Cedric and all said she was ok, now a whole month later she is on WE bleeding from both corners of her mouth (just like Ncile did - it took him 1.5 years to heal) Cedric not only confirms that it is due to snare she had but he says “she is healing nicely because Sabi Sabi did such a good job?! “ Seriously?! This explains why they are having trouble hunting and now 2nd adolescent died) egregious depth of incompetence , carelessness, mismanagement, and zero regulation and accountability - And god forbid you point these facts to them and they deflect that their feelings are hurt all that inconvenient feedback.100 % of adults in this pride and pride male killed or injured 💯 % due to human actions and 💯 % denial by all.
This must have been recorded several days ago because it was confirmed shortly after he died that it was because of TB.
Except that lions with advanced BTB show symptoms like swollen joints and limbs, slow-healing wounds, poor coat condition, weight loss, coughing, have difficulty breathing and eventuating into anorexia and it takes months only sometimes weeks. BTB or TB has none of the following symptoms that S8 and two of his lionesses of different ages exhibited and went from healthy to sick and quickly deteriorating and dead in 48 to 82 hoirs: stiff body posture, arched back, hunging down the head posture, vomiting and/or nausea and/or salivating, lip licking and smacking, initially always looking like trying to vomit/expel (present if poison ingested by especially), difficulty walking, sitting, getting up, loss of muscle coordination, excessive thirst.
😢
Very sad.
🥀
Whats the music?
What caused his death?
Poisoning but it is considered by officials as a vomiting type of bTB and they added up a bunch of others stuff that never happened and bunch of stuff he healed from months and years ago which would not have healed had his immune system been affected by bTB.
Good riddance other animals can be safe and not be eaten now
