We get theTalamati Pride down in the South, and possible tragic news for the Koppies Pride?
So happy to see Dark Mane Avoca. He’s my favorite of the three. Glad his limp is barely giving him trouble and that he continues to thrive with the Talamati’s.
Tragic indeed, this is a great channel watching from South Florida USA
The pride look so beautiful and majestic! Thank you!!! You capture such clear images of the lions! 💗💛💜
I really appreciate your narration, very informative.
I love the commentary, great narrator! No dramatic music, just the sounds of nature. Calm voice, sensible, factual and good modulation. Thank you!
Another no-nonsense, great quality video. Thank you!
You are very calm but I can't handle the truth. Please help her some. So sad. What a courageous female. She knew.
Dear tintswalo guides, thank you so much for the awesome videos you guys are wonderful! I can't get enough of the these gorgeous lions
Why, when I know from the video title that I am not going to be happy with the news, am I compelled to watch anyway-to know the worst? 😢💔🐾 Thank you for sharing the good news and the bad, @Tintswalo Safari Lodge. ❤️🐾😊
Very sad to see this ... It will be difficult for a single lioness to raise five cubs, I hope she can save as many as possible 💕 I have said this before, but I am afraid for the offspring of Jr and Buddy. .... Koppie's pride is in danger, the Scorro breakaway is keeping a low profile, not to mention the lions that are in the area (Mbiri sub-adults) + (Mbiri males) I'm scared for them, I hope that they will protect the last lioness and the cubs 🙏🏻
It's hard to see Buddy and Junior's legacy in both the Koppies and Skorro Breakaway Prides slowly go down the drain... Now down to 3 subs in Skorro Breakaway when they started off with 5 or 6?? I really don't think the younger 5 Koppies have a chance. If they're lucky, at least 1 or 2 might make it....
what happened Exaclty ?! who killed this lioness ? is she from another pride ?!
Kath It's true, that five cubs for a single lioness, that's a lot, you just have to hope that she comes out alive, and that she can raise as many as possible .... 🙏🏻
@@thearchitectismail8703 yes she is from The Koppies Pride so yes a totally different Pride ... when Prides share Territory and they cross paths there is a fight that will ensue and usually Young Cubs or sub adults can be killed by the rival Pride and that’s what happened here ... any cubs that are from a different Pride is at risk to be killed by rival Prides anytime they cross paths ... Hope this helps ...
@@stevefaulconbridge1fan17 so is the koppies female still alive?? I've been trying to find out if our girl is still alive and are any cubs still alive. Gosh I hope she's still alive and at least a couple of cubbies survive. I knew from the get go it was going to be hard for her to try and raise 5 babies
Talamatis' kids from Dark Mane Avoca look awesome, never seen such young guys with that much of Dark Mane, they look great and hope great future ahead.
Really tragic news💞R.I.P Koppie female & 2 cubs. I’m so sorry girl😥what a horrible thing to have happened, there was suffering here. It probably feels like another world to the last Koppie female, now that she is on her own & has to raise the remaining 5 cubs. Thank you for the beautiful images, accurate info/updates🙌*𝓣𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓼𝔀𝓪𝓵𝓸*😇The intro was *Magic*💓Enjoy your well-earned break, Neil.
That’s sad. I had no idea a lion would eat another lion. I hope the other lioness survives. Thank y’all for sharing 🔥💜🔥
It’s not too normal lion behavior but does happen once in awhile but I’ve only seen males do it not females.
They're predators in the end
The reason this is done is out of respect for the pride member. They don't want other predators eating them. Lionesses do this with their cubs most of the time.
Nothing is wasted in nature
For loving Koppies pride point of view I hope and pray they move out to that territory and find a new safer place to live. God please help Koppies pride. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes I am praying they do too 🙏☮️🦁
I couldn't watch, I am very sensitive. But I read the comments, heartbroken. May they rest in peace.
P
Me too
me too
Yes, same here. The comments alone is enough for me to be upset.🦁😣❤
Lol
Great videos and updates. Your virtual safari's feel as if I am there with the wildlife. I've subscribed to support your channel. I hope you guys continue to grow.
This sort of thing happens all the time. Dominant males have multiple prides and sometimes those prides kill their competition. Same thing happened to the Mbiri boys when the Myanbulas killed off the Zebenine pride in northern Timbavati. Or when the Kambula girls tried to kill the Tsalala lioness in Londolozi, except the Birmingham Boys stopped it from happening
Awesome good boys
Thank god Nhena stepped in to stop the mauling of Tsalala lioness...it would’ve been a death sentence for her, her daughter, and the future of the Tsalala pride
Ah yay awesome to the Talamatis doing so well Used to seeing them on drive They look so well fed 💗💗💗 Glad for the update And i hope the Koppies pride will manage to have a better fate after this (Loving all prides is not easy haha )
Terrible news indeed.. thanks for sharing, lets hope that the remaining female is the younger one so that she can keep the 5 reamining cubs safe
Thanks for these updates from your area. It amazes me at times at how far some of the animals travel. Stay well and stay safe.
Hi
Spectacular video as always!!
Thank you for your videos I really love them, and the best images I've seen. Crystal clear.

Lions are so tactile with one another. When they sleep they often just flop on each other in a big pile. They really enjoy grooming one another too. They are the only truly social cats living in big family groups.
Dark Mane looks phenomenal very sad to hear about the lioness and two cubs Jr. does not look like he is playing any games and buddy is still hanging in there.
That’s sad news indeed... Still so much I don’t understand about lion behavior! But then, so much I don’t understand in human behavior either....😔 Hoping that this does not mean more sad news are gonna come....❣️😔❤️
😔😥😢 So sad. Enjoy your holiday and God bless, xxx.
I personally think Blondie is the most beautiful of the Northern Avocas (he could make a commercial for a hair shampoo) but Mohawk has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen on a lion. They seem to be great fathers as well, Blondie and Mohawk with the Nkuhuma pride with lots of youngsters and Dark Mane with the Talamati.
Always great video you guys do great jobs
This is so sad. I hope and pray the other Koppies female and their cubs are safe and healthy. I hope you give us new sightings and new updates of Koppies pride. Who are the resident male of Koppies? This is sad and heartbreaking. 😔😔😔😔💔💔💔💔
I want your job! Well done, my friend and great camera!
Beautiful sightings and very interesting and informative commentary, thank you so much. The Talamatis are a fine looking pride, all healthy and well and the young sub adult males in particular are stunning. Dark Mane is looking magnificent, his mane has really grown and so happy to hear that his limp is barely noticeable now. That was a bad injury and I saw it happen 'live' it was quite some time ago and it is amazing just how resilient these lions are...... So very sorry to hear about the Koppie pride, lion dynamics are so harsh and hard to understand at times...... Many thanks for another amazing video, enjoy your break and keep staying safe.
I know this is 8 months old I messed this video! Yes DM is a beast my favorite you can see he has some linage with red road! ? Awesome photography clear and crisp!
Tragic indeed. A lions life is hard enough as it is... And the Koppies being surrounded by bigger prides just made theirs that much harder. We've seen prides at the brink in the past, lets hope she's able to keep those youngsters safe... Fingers crossed there's more females than males amongst the remaining cubs. Thanks for the update.
At least this female has cubs with her that are quite big and have a high possibility of surviving. In my opinion. Like the southern pride lioness has 2 still young cubs to continue the pride.
Sticks n Stones Very accurately said. Every lion's life is precious. Hope for the best.
@@TA-jf7yq the Koppies cubs are still quite young, not even 6 months old, and the Southern pride female lost those cubs I believe. I hope they're still alive, but I don't think they've been seen for some time.
@@styx5131 thanks on the correction the cubs that died looked big so I thought they were older. And I didn't know that the southern pride lioness lost the cubs. Thanks on the correction.
@@styx5131 I didn't know either that the Southern lioness probably lost her cubs! So unfair and sad for a lioness like her.
Wow what a devastating blow for them!!
Maybe the Orpen Male eating the Koppies female could be a sign of distress since he was the pride male but couldn't stop the Mbiri females killing the Koppies female? 🤷🏽♂️
That's possible. Good insight.
Love you guys thank you
This lion is gorgeous!
Great vieo as always! It would be also nice to see what is going on in the far north of propetry. Rumors goes that older Mbiri males might have ousted Sumatra and Hercules males and takeover Skorro pride as Hercules and Sumatra males were recently seen quite far from Orpen Gate and Hercules male had what it looked to be bite mark on his back.
Best video
Those birds look like they're thinking. LOL Pacing back and fourth.
That is heartbreaking to hear about the Koppies lioness and her cubs- rip - any updates on the surviving lionesses and-cubs- 💔🙏
Happy holiday!
😱😱😱 that's very sad! I did not know that lions eats lions! never seen somenthing like that. Thanks for your video and your informations-
Have a great 2 weeks on holiday. Thanks for your excellent game safaris and pointed comments.
Ok, so I understand the lion dynamics and I knows it’s harsh .... But geez .... to eat her? A bit much. 😫🤢
Not if you realize that same lioness would eat their cubs down the line.
I hope and pray that the Koppies pride find a new safer territory. I hope and pray the remaining members grow, live and survive. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 This is really sucks. So sad. I wonder who's the resident male of Koppies pride.
Hi
That's rough for the koppi. Had Orpen male as their protectors and 7 new cubs but then the mbiri 6 show up ready to breed. And the Orpen males decided to move ok to them.
I don’t know what happened in his mind to eat his lioness and his own cubs? Did he go insane? 😔
@Imran Ali which one?
I wettin u answer beby
No one knows what happened because no one saw what happened, only Junior eating the lioness. He didn't eat the 2 cubs. The lioness was killed by Mbris as well as the 2 cubs. This is very common between 2 prides. If BB's hadn't of been there when Kambulas attacked Lady Tsalala, she would be dead. Many people have told me the reason some lions/lionesses eat other members of the pride is so that other predators don't eat them. It's a type of respect. The majority of lionesses will eat their cubs when they die so, what Junior did wasn't out of the ordinary.
Any updates on the.koppies pride?
I know this all happened yrs ago, but that still makes me sad about the Koppie females and those sweet cubs.
That is a huge elephant!
Well I was over the moon at seeing one of my beloved Avocas Dark Mane and his beautiful Talamati Pride but after seeing Junior devouring one of his Koppie Pride females and 2 cubs most likely. Is his behavior normal ? He gets a pride has cubs and then abandons them i.e. Skorro Breakaway and now Koppie. At least infanticide has meaning, though I don’t like it I understand the natural process. This just makes me so very sad.
Junior fathers, the matimba males, also ate other Lions already. They ate a nkuhuma cub that was sired by sizanani male.
The mbiri females have killed her and the cubs off the koppies pride, Junior only eat her I think
99% that Mbiris killed that Koppies female and cubs, and Junior only came later and feed on her.. Those are Junior cubs.. Sad but this is nature..
@@liondynamics8878 dont know, they seen other female after with 5 remaining cubs..
@@greatbearfromthenorth9944 the Matimbas famously ate their own cubs from the Mbiri pride in 2012
Great sighting
Who were the 4 young males with Mbriri pride last week?
Hi, can i repost your videos to my FB page? Sure i Will give credits to your channel. Thanks and best regard.
Oh No....crazy..
Great footage. Nasty to see lions eating lions but its nature though. Orpen matimba male is a beast 🦁
I think lions Jaws are helped with the amount of ear flicking due to the flies
コッピPride赤ちゃん助かりましたか?残念です。お母さんと赤ちゃん5匹は大丈夫見たいですが?😭😨😨😨今元気でいてほしいです。配信ありがとう☺️
i bet both Orpen males are devestated that their cubs havent made it. seeing cubs not making it is a tragic event. Koppies were a small pride with just 2 females so they woudldve been under pressure by bigger prides pushing them out of their area. they did what they could to protect their cubs
Onky jr of the orpen males was in this vid right? Bcs i am looking at the comments and i see a few of them ar3 about buddy
Both of them are in the video

What happened I don't have sound
Please give us new updates of Koppies pride. Thank you.
Hi
EnjoyEnjo youryou break.
This is extremely sad! Those lioness next to him should definitely leave him! 🤦🏾♀️💔
Hi
When I hear of the savagery of one lion eating another I think of Mr. T. Are any of these lions from a mapogo bloodline? BTW. I did love the mapogos. They were mean but true lions.
no Mapogos bloodline runs through sabis sands, more than likely Matimbas blood runs through manyeleti
@@KO-ei9db thank you. I did come to appreciate their life stories and have much admiration or respect of each mapogo personality along with their brother bonds.
It doesn't look like a lioness, but cubs by the markings. Who are all the lionesses lying around? Mbiri?
I wonder if the shrinking of the lion's natural habitat drives them into feeding off one another?
It could be something rational, or it could just be an individualistic thing with this male. As in he went/is insane among lion standards
Hi, is it normal for lions to eat other lions? I’ve watched a lot of nature films and never saw that! 🙏❤️
Sometimes happen. Mapogos, majingilanes and matimbas ate Lions already in the past. Just look for majingilane males feasting on kinky tail
It does happen it seems it happens with the very dominant lions the Mapogo The majinglanes and other lion coalitions did eat other lions not just the females it’s also happened in other countries some lions have more aggression and testosterone than others they are usually who are the ones who do it.Many males and females kill cubs of rival prides as most people already know this.
@Lion Defense I only said those particular lions as an example there is to many to name that have eaten other lions and lionesses also do eat and kill other lions and lionesses and the kambula are very dominant look what they did to Nsuku he eventually passed because of the injuries he sustained from them I am just saying it usually happens when those particular lions that are very aggressive are usually who don’t just kill they eat other lions there was just to many to name.
@Lion Defense Also did you safari tales episode 4from savanna private Game Reserve from 4 days ago if not you may like to see Ottawa male and Mangheni pride with two cubs doe he look like Golden Mane or is it just me thinking he does.
@Lion Defense Hopefully he does not have face any large coalitions I really like him and he is possibly will have more cubs to protect with another lioness possibly being pregnant.I worry about him and Red Road male with no coalition partner in territories that are prime for lionesses and food.I worry about Hairy Belly as well but the Mangheni pride and Nharhu pride have more lionesses so coalitions will try takeovers with those prides first.
How long do male lions stay in charge of a pride?
They stay until they get ousted or killed by younger nomads.
Why aren't there any updates on the death of Junior Nkuhuma and the other Orpen male, Buddy? Also, the Koppies lioness with the 5 cubs? Has it been confirmed Junior Nkuhuma died from anthrax poisoning yet? It's obvious that it wasn't a snakebite.
What happened to the rest of the koppies pride now?
1 female alive along with 5 cubs
Doesn’t look like these lions were so hungry for those Buffalos.. they just happened to fall onto their plate by luck
I am so so very sad to hear this news and see the video. Where was JUNIOR?
Hi
1:42 holy wow that is a lot of flies swarming around his ear.
Hiiiii
Wow that was disturbingly shocking I don't believe that that adult male was eating that lioness I didn't think thaey did that...wow. Could it be cuz they were really hungry or they do actually do that sometimes, shocking but thanks for the info and footage.
It looks to me, like he's eating the cub; the dead female is above his head in the film; and more like what happens in a takeover. When Orpen males came in, the eldest lioness had 1 cub, And I only see one cub (the one male is eating on) In Jan 2020 there were 3 females in pride (including the older female). By May, there were only 2 lionesses denning cubs, and no mention after this about the 3rd lioness. I don't doubt the footage, I doubt the timing.
@@yvonnem.langlois5197 ok thank you so much guess it truly is a Savage kingdom of the Lion. Still sometimes nature is so so sad. Weird because still yet their lives fascinate me. Thanks again for the information.
Dark mane Avoca male is now a lonely male. He is separated from his two brothers mohawk and blondie for a year already. No more contact between them.
It breaks my ❤ to 👀 the copies lioness and cubs killed and to make things worst the Lion eating them if his the father what would make him kill them i 🙏 the the rest of the copies pride is safe a make it bro🐅👑

tankiw firi nais in good lion king
why is this tragic news please? i don't speak english sorry. How are Buddy and Junior, please? A big thank you for your answers
Because junior was eating a lioness
Because the Koppies pride is a small pride to begin with, only 2 lioness, with 7 cubs... Now there's only 1 lioness left to raise the 5 remaining cubs, the future of the pride rests solely on her shoulders. That's a difficult task.
@@styx5131 so Junior killed a lioness of his pride! Why?? Why didn't Buddy stop it? Really a big thank you and sorry for my bad english 
@@mathieulamirault8262 I don't think it was Junior, it's definitely possible, but I think it was more than likely the Mbiri females that killed her, and Junior was just eating her.
@@styx5131 thank you very mutch
Junior killed and ate two of his own cubs?
She was probably killed by the Mbiri Pride. Females are just as territorial as males. Junior was probably caught up in the mix and ate the remains for whatever reason. That was somewhat unusual, but it happens occasionally Check Londolozi's page. There was a huge fight between the Ntsevu/Kambula Pride and the Tsalala lioness. If one of the males hadn't helped defend her, it could have ended like what happened to the Koppies female
I think perhaps sometimes they eat them to keep hyenas/ birds from getting them. Lionesses eat their cubs too, even if they kill them. Weird thinking, but in a strange way maybe its better to them.
He broke his foot and now it giving him problems wasn't then but now it is he need a vet
I didn't know that lions 😳 were cannibalistic....is this a stress response possibly? I know male lions will kill & eat cubs when taking over a pride but eating a full grown lion, not during a take-over is odd isn't it ❓
So sad
Rip jr nkuhuma orpen male.
Dark maine need someone to help him what i love about him is 95 percent of the time he with his pride too bad he not like notch raise his sons and have a coalition
why would a male lion kill a lioness? I don't understand
We believe it’s was the females from another pride that started the killing and the male joined in at the end, the female was proberly trying to protect her cubs the pride
@@tintswalovirtualsafari Thanks for yhe reply
Can u move that lion and her 5 cubs to a safer territory. Sometimes u need to intervene
Why sensitive for a Lion eating another while they other animals including other animals cubs
Do you know who killed the lioness?
most speculate it was the 6 Mbiri females
@@KO-ei9db thanks for the reply. Damn the Mbiri females dont mess around with other females in their territory. I remember when they almost killed the last southern lioness that has the 1 cub.
@@chriss1436 i dont thin those were the Mbiris i think it may have been the Mhangeni lionesses
I do apologize but I did have another question, if females kill another female and/or cubs in a takeover will they eat them like the lion did?
Wtf? I'm thinking I'm going to see footage of lions but instead just pictures and yapping.
I do love these videos but I dislike the violence its sad to see any of them die... Thats natural I know.
I don't find it interesting ... Very sad to see a large male eat his own kind 😪 heartbreaking we as humans should change the whole dynamic.

Would a male try to take over a pride this size? If so would he try to kill those males? At what age would a male kill a cub of je took it ocer. I know they would kill the babies but what about the larger cubs that are close to becoming adults?
The lioness they killed---i can understand killing the cubs---but wouldn't the dominant males rather breed with the outside female and have her join the pride, instead of killing her?? Or is it the lionesses that don't want her, don't want a newcomer, and they do the killing??
They are running out of habitat. Thus they are resorting to cannibalism. So sad.
